Oh Goddess with golden limbs. Oh sistrer of Consrt of Lakshmi,
Please protect me oh Katyayani

When I entreat you “save me” , “save me”
Oh lotus eyed one if your mind does not melt,
And you do not protect me, who else will do it?
Please shower boons on me prays Thyagaraja

The mother who gave birth to me, my fortune
ReplyDeleteThe consort of Sri Narayana, the mother of Dharma
I ask you to save me
But your mind does not melt for me, the lotus eyed one
If you do not bless me, who else can?
The one who is the mother of Thyagaraja who always bestows boons
