Goddess who lives in Benares , who has broad eyes like lotus,

Who entertains mind of God of universe,

Who looks after   the God of the universe Guru Guha ,

Who has a  rope of pearls  , who shines like Punnaga Varali,

Who explains thirty six  principles  , who is sweet scented,

Who  believes her devotees   and who  shines as divine joy.
