(This prayer  is about the goddess Koppudayamman in Karaikudi.

Koppudai Amman (or Koppudaiya Nayaki) is the revered guardian deity of Karaikudi in Tamil Nadu, known as a healer goddess, particularly for skin diseases and fertility, who blesses devotees from her historic temple. Koppudai Nayaki Amman- Karaikudi | Tamilnadu Temple suggests the name relates to "Koppu" (branches), representing her as a protector, often associated with a "crown of fire" and wielding a Trident.  https://temple.dinamalar.com/new.php?id=568
