Pallavi
Meenakshi thaaye arul purivaye ,
Malayadwajan seye , Madurai vazzh maaye

Anupallavi
Vanorgal magizhnthidum , Vaiathor pugazhnthidum,
Vahanai manthanaye , Vamathil inainthanaye

Charanam
Mahishasuranin siram vizha Seythaye ,
Marakatha meniyodu thavam purinthaye,
Makara yaazhil swara bhavam kandaye ,
Mathi mukhamum ser vizhiyum kondaye.

English translation

Pallavi
Mother Meenakshi shower your grace ,
Daughter of Malayadwaja , Oh Goddess of Madurai

Anupallavi
You married the god praised by devas ,
Who makes the devas happy,
And merged in to his left side

Charanam
You cut and fell the head of Mahishasura,
You did penance with the emerald body of yours,
You sang and found musical notes in Makara Veena,
You had a face like moon and fish like eyes.
