Pallavi

Oh Tripurasundari, is it ever possible,
For Brahma and other Gods to describe your beauty.

Anupallavi

Oh Goddess with jasmine like teeth,
Who is saluted by sages like Sananthana
Where do I stand compared to them?

Charanam

1.Seeing your ever joyous face , moon stands in the sky without coming to earth,
Seeing your exuberant prettiness god of love vanished then itself,
Seeing your stable prettiness , the god of ocean has become still,
Seeing your strong courage the Meru mountain has stood as a stone.

2.Seeing the beauty of your eyes , the fishes live hiding in the sea,
Oh mother , when the light of your smile fell on Shiva , he became incomparably white,
Seeing the sparkle of your ornaments and dresses, lightning vanishes in an instant,
Oh golden girl, hearing the sweetness of your voice, Saraswathi hides himself in Brahma’s toungue.

3.Hearing your purifying fame , the sins of your devotees have run away,
Due to your grace the poets are able to compose epics at any time,
The elders are praising you as the sister of consort of Lakshmi,
And the memory of your feet has become great goodness to Thyagaraja.

English translation

Pallavi

My mother when you are on my side,
Why should I get worried , Oh mother

Anupallavi

Oh Tripurasundari , when one has butter with him,
Why should he get worried for ghee.

Charanam

1.I understood that the wealth , horse and houses that one has is all false,
And that the pleasure got by those people who have them is false,
I understood these and kept in my mind that the words of the rich are also false,
And why do one think that a rope is a snake and deceive himself.

2.The relations who does not have good in their words,
Like brother in law, nephew , sister , elder and younger brother,
Would come and look after us when we have money,
When it is not there, none of them would be there.
Understanding this I would not search for them.
Oh mother because we should not fall inside falsehoods,
Will any one get in to a mirage in a desert, Oh Goddess of Thiruvothiyur.

3.This body decorated by gold ornaments which is well looked after ,
By drinking milk is transient and does not indicate a good , clear mind.
Oh goddess who looks after Thyagaraja , who tells that he is doing everything for you,
Please hear my words that , after understanding that you are every where,
Will any one search for any other Gods , Oh Tripura Sundari.

Oh beauty of the three worlds, I am lucky,
To have seen your pretty form

Anupallavi

Oh goddess with a slow pretty walk,
This luck of mine is due to your side long glance,
Or it may be due to the worships I did earlier.

Charanam

1.While the wise Brahma and others hearing about your beauty,
When you are in the temple of Thiruvothiyur , gathered together in the sky,
Getting worried whether they will get to see you on this Friday,
You have decided to remove the problems of the oppressed.

2.I would describe you as the saviour of the oppressed in this kali age,
Oh very simple ocean of mercy, who is there comparable to you,
And I who am tired have come here with hopes of happiness,
While the deva maidens with laughter are serving you in turns.

3.My dear mother , my birth has found the right meaning today,
When there is the feast to my eyes similar to getting of wealth for the very poor,
Oh Goddess with lotus like eyes, who grants good things, similar to giving water to dried crops,
Oh Goddess who is the sister of Rama who produces love,
Oh pretty one of Thyagaraja, Oh Gowri, Oh beauty of the three worlds.

Oh goddess whose face beats in prettiness the moon,
Oh Goddess who wears golden dress in Thiruvothiyur,
Oh saviour of the oppressed who removes sufferings ,
And grants boons to those who believe in you,
I understood from Brahma, Puruhootha , Indra, Dumburu and Narada,
About the perennial joy that is floating in the sea .

2.Oh mother who grants great wealth and
Completely wipes out the effect of Karma,
Oh Mother of Lord Ganesa and Subrahmanya,
Oh Mother having eyes like red lotus flowers,
Oh Goddess who lives in the hearts of Yogis,
Oh daughter of the great Himalaya mountain,
I understood the way to attain perennial joy,
By your grace from the sages of this world.

3.Oh Goddess who wears shining jewel studded ornaments,
Oh goddess who has the walk of an exuberant elephant,
I understood that the day of the Guru of Rakshasas,
Is the proper one to serve you, because of the luck of this birth,
And I heard that elders have told that the only way of salvation,
Is to continuously repeat your holy name,
Oh stealer of mind, Oh white goddess, oh perennial one,
This Thyagaraja has now understood it.
