Mother when I tell , I have faith in you,

Why do you  doubt  it, Oh mother.

Anupallavi

SAmbaravairi Janaka Sodhari ,

SAranu jochi   manasara   sree Jagadamba

Anupallavi

Oh sister of the father of  Manmatha  ( enemy of Sambara)

I with full mind have surrendered  to you.

Charanam

1.Geervana ganaadhari Amba,

Sarvani Akhandaakari,

Parvatharaja  manojna kumara,

Nirvahamu  leka madhini kori.

Charanam

1.Oh mother who supports the group of devas,

Who is wife of Lord Shiva  Who is spread everywhere,

Who is the pretty daughter of the king of themountains,

Without the ability I requested you with my mind

2.  Sura vairi  kadana sourye,

Varunalaya   sama Gambheerye,

Swara jitha  kokila rava   madurye,

Parithapamu thalaka  nu sucharye.

Oh Goddess who stood boldly against enemy of  devas,

Who is as  profound as   the  ocean,

Who by her  voice beats the sweetness of voice of Koel,

And who is  example of good conduct ,

And who was not able to bear  the pity towards me.

3,SArma  Dhayaki  Gowri dush-

Karma  kalusha vana kudari  ,

Nirmala  Thyagaraja hrudchari,

Dharma samvardhani, omkari

3.Oh goddess who gives good things  who is Gowri

Who is like a spear  to the forest of  bad karmas,

Whop  wanders in the pure heart of Thyagaraja,

Who is the nurturer of Dharma   and one who utters “om”.
