Who has a pretty form equal to billions of Gods of love ,

Who has eyes like the petal of red lotus  , Who has matchless auspicious form,

Who stays on Sri Chakra,  Who wears bangles on  the hands giving  boons,

Who is divinely pure. Who makes  protecting devotees as  penance

And   who is the valorous power , I believed   in you.

Who has lips like Bimba fruit, Who wears clots similar to billions of streaks of lightning,

Who is an ocean of mercy,Who softens the mind of the  enemy of the enemy of SAmbarasura*,

Who is power of Lord Subrahamanya , who by her music won over the sweet  music   of Narada  and Dhumburu,

 And   who   removes sufferings quickly  , Oh my mother.

*.Manmatha killed Sambarasura and Shiva  killed him.

Oh divine of divine who lives   in the Banks  of Cauvery , the daughter of Sahya  mountain,

Oh  Daughter of sage Kathyayana  , Oh sister of Rama , Oh my mother.
