(Akhilandeswari    is the great Goddess  presiding over  THiruvanaikaval  Temple of Tiruchi. Once you have the luck to look at her , you would never  be able to forget  the grandeur   of her mesmerizing   looks.)

1.Akilandeswarim devim amrutheswara   subruvam,

Jishnu rarabhathesthothum   graheetha   mani  paadhukaam.

1,Indra   started  praising   the goddess Akhilandeswari,

Who is the consort  of Amrutheswara , holding  her  gem studded  sandals

2.Gunaanaa mani  maadhinaam  ashtabhi sidhibhi shivaam,

Bhaje  pradathrim  bhakthaanaam   pradathrim  thadvisham api.

2.I sing about  that goddess  who grants eight occult  powers among powers,

Who   also defeats those  who harm  to her devotees  and who has a  divine form.

3.Brahmanaaya  saraswathyaa   sthuthaam pankajaya samam,

Vaikuntena sthuthaam   devim akhilandeswarim   Bhaje.

3.I  sing the praises  of Akhiklandeswari   who is praised  by ,

Lord Brahma and Goddess Saraswathi   as well as Lord Vishnu and Goddess Lakshmi.

4.Bhavaabdhi paaraam nayathim  bavanga niyathaalayaam,

Bhavaa pava bhayaam hanthrim  , bhavanim   aham aasraye.

4.I surrender  to that Bhavani who takes us to the shore of ocean of  samsara,

Who forever stays  in the body of Lord Shiva  , who   removes the fear  of  the birth and death.

5.Ithi sthuthwaa BHagavthim   akhilandeswarim  vrushaa,

Yayoucha sidhi manayaa maha aiswarya   dhayini.

5.Praying like  this the  Goddess  Akhilandeswari  , Devendra,

Got all  great  powers    from the Goddess  who grants  great prosperity.

6.Evam chithra   sikhandijasya vachasaa   samprapya punyam sthalam,

Sampoojyam amrutha  vigraham  pasupathim  devim cha   SAilendrajaam,

TRaksho bheethim apasya  vanchitha phalam labdhwaa adha  sankramdhana ,

Swarajyam  punaraapthwaan   amala  dheerasapathinaam prabhu.

6.Thus as per the   words of Lord Brahaspathi  Indra   reached that holy place,

And worshipped   the nectar  like idols  of   the   Lord Shiva  and Goddess  Parvathi   who was the daughter of the n mountain,

Got removed  the fears  and got   all that he desired and got back  his position,

Which was   the leader  of the devas  guarding the   eight   directions  .

Ithi Sri Padma  Purane   Gajaranya mahathmye indra  krutham,

Akhilandeswari stotram nama shodasodhyaya.

Thus ends   the sixteenth   chapter  of the book of Gajaranya mahathmya,

Which occurs  in  the Padma purana.
