Aatthu kal vazhunna devi maheswari,

Pothuka   nee yenne  nithyam krupakari

Oh goddess  who lives in atthukal, Oh great goddess ,

Daily   you please  look after  me, Oh merciful one.

Payasanna priyaya Visweswari ,

Manasa vase , tripureswari.

Oh Goddess of universe   who  likes Payasam,

Oh Goddess of three  cities   who lives in my  mind

Charanam

Nee mama chaithanyamai maruveetane ,

Nee man manassin  mani vilakkavane ,

Nee yen prabodhadham  tharakamavane  ,

Nee yen  janikku artha poornatha  yekane.

Charanam

You please  live  as my  mental activity,

You become gem studded  lamp in my mind,

You become   the star that  lights my intelligence,

And You please  make  my life  to be meaningful .
