Raga Hindolam
Tala Aadi

Pallavi

Mangala charane mamava satatam
Mamadurai vaaz Meenakshiyamma

Anupallavi

Sanga rahithe , un tal statam pothinen,
Sama gana vinodhini , Manini.

Charanam

Undan sannidhi vandhen ullam urugi thozha,
Vandu irayai kanden , vanam veditha pola,
Minnal vegam adhil marugida cheythaye,
Mahimai solla tharama varada dasan pothum

English Translation

Pallavi

Oh Goddess Meenakshi who lives in Madurai,
Please give your auspicious feet to me always.

Anupallavi

Goddess who does not have any company,
I always praised your feet,
Oh Goddess who enjoys Sama Gana and is proud.

Charanam

I came before you to pray with a melted heart,
Then I heard the great sound resembling the bursting of the sky,
And you made the speed of lightning merge in that,
Can your greatness be aptly described.
oh Goddess who is praised by Varada dasa.
