English translation

Pallavi
The goddess came to forest, Sathi,
The goddess came to forest , Goddess sathi came to the Kadamba forest,
In the Honey like garden,  The lake with honey like water ,
With friends surrounding her  showering golden flowers on her,
With incomparable colours , laughing and talking and talking,
Making everything divine   and  wandering with  joy , came the goddess

Anupallavi
The  goddess  came to the forest   and stood in the mind of Lord Shiva,
And stood   with her lotus like feet wearing  anklets,
Telling that  she wants to bathe  in the river ,
Made  by the melting minds   of her devotees.
Charanam
With  the tree of Vedas   bowing and bowing,
With  her herself becoming the tree which sun God tries to reach,
With all Upanishads becoming climbers  hugging her,
With the great flower of Dharma being her herself,
With sharma becing her way , with the families becoming  shade , with lotus like feet walking like a swan,
With eyes resembling the lotus flower showering her grace ,
And making the world pleasant   and ruling all the world, the goddess came
