Charanam

1.Oh Goddess  who has got established in Lalgudi town,

And is engaged  in givinf divine joy to everybody,

Would Lord Brahma be  able to praise  you?

Oh Goddess in this earth there is no mother  equal to you,

Am I not a person belonging to you?

All the guardians of directions are waiting ,

For getting rid of their sorrows with the  belief,

That you are the goddess    who can give

All  the boons that  they want., with great crtainity.

2. Yi puramuna  bagu  kapuramu  seyuvaa-,

Re punyamu  Jesiro,

Sripura nilayre  prapu koriyunnanu  ,

Amba  parulanenu  vedagalenu,

Joopu  jagu  seyaka neeve   dari-,

Dhapu gaani   anyulevaru   nayeda,

Repu  mapanaka   nee mahimalu balu,

Gopurambu  kaani sujani.

2.What great blessed deeds have been done ,

By those   who are living in this great city,

Oh Goddess  who lives in Sripura , I surrender to you,

Oh Amba , I would not   ask any body else,

Do not delay in seeing me  with  the corner of your eye,

In this earth who else is there   for me except you?

Do not say to me “Tomorrow, tomorrow” .

Oh grat one your fame  is as   tall as the     tower.

3. raka sasi vadane  sarva,

Loka nayaki  vini  maya ne velpu-,

La  Gadhiyou  nee kadakshamuchetha,

Yeka chithamanandhuku  Amba,

Inka  nidaya  yendhuku,

Nee kani  dhana dhanyamula  koraku  yi,

Lokulane  maati  maa-,

Tikaduguta   chowkagani  nee  keerth-

THiki nendhaga vanna  vinthu  Thyagarajuni.

3.Oh goddess  who has a full moon like face  ,

Oh Leader  of the earth , Please hear, oh great enchantress,

You are the primeval goddess to all Gods   ,

Oh mother, When my mind is concentrated on you ,

Why is it that   your kindness  has come,

If on seeing you  I again and  again request ,

You for wealth and grains, it would be dishonorable,

How much can I ask you commensurate   with your fame?
