Sloka

Mahalakshmi kolapura nivasa vijayathe
Tharam santham shankaaryam
Abaya vara hastham thrinayanam
Para mookambakyam mahisha madanolkanta nikilam
Marasyotha jyothirmaya miduna linga kriya vapuhu

Sloka
Victory to Mahalakshmi who lives in Kolhapur,
Who is the passage, peaceful and belongs to Shankara,
Who has three eyes and shows blessing and protection by her hands,
W ho is divine Mookambika , who killed Mahisha and made the cupid worried,
And due to the Manmatha made Lord Shiva lustrous by marrying him.

Pallavi

Kanaka mayi maha Lakshmim bhaje
Aneka fala dayikey sakalaartha sadikey (Kanaka)

Pallavi

I praise the Mahalakshmi who is golden,
Who grants several types of results,
And helps us achieve all of our desires.

Anupallavi

Kanaka maha mani bhooshitha vadaney
Sanaka maha muni poojitha charaney
Sharadambikey jagadambikay
Sharath chandrikey Mookambikey (Kanaka)

Anupallavi

I salute her who is decorated by Gold and gems,
Whose feet are worshipped by great sage Sanaka,
Who is mother Sharadha, the mother of the world,
Who is the autumn moon and Mookambika.

Charanam

1.Saama gana priye sadhu hridaye
Soma bhimba vadaney mridugadaney
Mookasura bhanjani ranjani
Mooka vak-pradayini janani
Sarasvathi nama roopini
Laxmi Ishvarya pradaayini

Charanam
1.She who likes singing of Sama Veda and lives in the heart of good people,
Who has the face like the moon and who talks softly,
Who is the one who killed Mookasura and the one who does good,
Who is the mother who gave power of speech to the dumb one,
Who has the form and name of Saraswathi,
And who as Lakshmi grants us all sorts of wealth.

2.Maha kavya natakaa-bharaney
Mahadeva Krishna Dasa sadhaney
Maha mahima mangala charithey
Om-aha sri chakra peetaa-sthithey (Kanaka)

2.She who wears great literature and drama as ornament,
Who lives in the heart of Lord Shiva and Krishnadasa,
Who has a history of doing famous auspicious acts,
And who is in “Om” as well as in Sri Chakra.
