1.Thedi yunai saran adainthen , desa Muthu mari,

Koti nalam cheythiduvai, kuraigal yellam theerpai

3.Yeppozhudum kavalayile inangi nirpaan Pavi,
Oppinatheval Cheyven , unathu arulaal vaazhven

4.Sakthi yendru neramellam Thamizh kavithai paadi,

Inbame vendi nirpom, yavum aval tharuvaal.

7.Nambinor keduvathillai, Naangu marai theerpu,
Ambikayai saran pugindhaal, adhika varam peralaam.

English translation

1. I searched and surrendered to you, Oh Muthu Mari,
Please remove all blemishes and give all boons that I ask.

2. I sang and then surrendered to you, remove all attachments,
Please do billions of good things and fulfill all my wants.

3. A sinner would be always drowned in worries,
I would do all service that I like and live in your grace,

4. All the time if I would sing Tamil poems calling you Shakthi,
And praise you with devotion, all fears would get over.

5. The sacred Vedas say that Shakthi is the basis of all,
We would do some work for all works belong to her.

6.We would forget the saying that It is natural to be sad,
And would request for pleasure and she will give every thing

7.Those who believe never loose is the Judgment of four Vedas,
And if you surrender to the mother we can get more boons.
