Mangadu Kamakshi aru vara Padalgal-Set II (Tamil)

Mangadu Aru vara Padalgal-Set II
(The six week prayer songs of Mangadu)

Translated by
P.R.Ramachander

This pooja is usually performed on 6 consecutive Tuesdays. You need to take a lemon ( clear of any spots) , keep kumkum dots all around and place it at the altar , light diyas and recite the Mangaadu Kamakshi Aaru Vaara Padal. You need to recite 1 Paadal every week, so you start off with the 1st paadal on the 1st Tuesday and finish the pooja with the 6th paadal on the 6th Tuesday. Replace the lemon every week with a fresh one. Immerse the used lemon ( lemon kept in the puja in the previous week) in the waters. The used lemon is not supposed to be consumed. For naivedyam every week, milk and sugar as a minimum is required. You may use kalkand( sugar candy) or raisins etc.

This puja is supposed to be very powerful and is good for prosperity, health, marriage, peace and happiness.
In the temple at Mangaadu, they perform the pooja with 2 lemons, wherein, they return 1 lemon and keep the other lemon in the pooja.So if you are undertaking the pooja in the temple, you are required to go there with 2 lemons on consecutive Tuesdays.

Third week song

Pallavi

Kamakshi deviye kanivay mozhiyalle, kadai kkan paramma,
Pamalai kondu patha malargalai vanginen Amma,
Adharam ondrillen Pethayenudayua Vedanai theeramma,
Vedam nangilum uraipavale , bedam theerkkum guna nidhiye. (Kamakshi…)

Oh Goddess Kamakshi who speaks softly , throw a glance at me,

Oh Goddess who is sister of Lord Vishnu, I do not have power to withstand your tests,
Please see me with your merciful eyes when I salute you with unbroken knowledge.

And the daughter of Devendra becoming happy,
And I saw the lord of the forests who is son of Shiva and Lord Vishnu blessing all of us.


Song of the fourth week

Pallavi
Mupathi irandu arangal valakkum Kamakshiye saranam,
Moovarkkum yavarkkum mudalay nindra moola manonmani Saranam,
Un kovil naadi odi varum anbar ayiram ayiram Amma,
Unnaye saranam yenbhavar vinai thaan podi podiyay vidum amma. (Mupathi irandu...)

I surrender to Kamakshi who supports thirty two diferent Dharmas,
I surrender to the original gem of the mind who was before the trinity as well all others,
Oh mother, the devotees rushing towards your temple are in thousands,
And the problems of those saying “I surrender to you”, would become pulverized.

Charanam

1.Kilyai karathl konda thaye , yen kiliyai neeki aruliduvay,
Kadai vizhiyal yennai paarthal podum kadayen uynthiduven,
Akkiniyile thavamirukkum devi adiyen padumthuyar kalaivay,
Ikkanam vandu pillayai anaithu aaruthal mozhi cholvay.. (Mupathi...)

O mother, who holds the parrot, drive away all my fears,
It is suffecient if you see me by the tip of your eye and this basest one would win,
Oh Goddess who did penance in the fire, please remove the sorrows that I under go,
Come immediately , hug your son and then consile him.

2.Kanchi chellumun Mangadu Vandhu Kadu m thavam cheytha DEvi,
Oin Agama vidhipadi poojaikal cheythu , eesan arul petha thaye ,
Nangam varam paangaka vandu isayudan pada cheythay,
Theengethum varamal kathida vendum , dheena dayabari. (Mupathi irandu)

Oh Goddess who did penance in Mangadu before going to Kanchi,
And then got the grace of the God by worshipping him according to rules,
You have made me sing this well onthe fourth week.
Please protect me from getting in to any danger.

The song of the fifth week

Pallavi

Oru kayil kiliyudan nindralamma aval,
Guruvena yenakkarul cheythalamma,
Perumaikal yauvm thanthalamma , yen,
Cherukkinai azhithu Aandukondalamma (Oru kayil)

She stood , with a parrot in one hand,
As a teacher she showered her grace on me,
She blessed me with all important aspects,
And she destroyed my pride and ruled over me.

Charanam

1.Maru Kayil karumbudan chirithalamma , yen,
Chirumaigal anaithum vilagithamma,
Cheerum pambai anithalamma aval,
Veeru kondu kodiyavarai azhithalamma (Oru kayil)

In the other hand she held a sugar cane,
And all my base qualities disappeared,
She wore the screeching snake,
And with great form she destroyed all the bad ones

Nanjunda kandan Nayagiye,
Thanjamena un padam panithenamma ini,
Kenjum nilai piraridam illayamma (Oru kayil)

I have come the fifth week and am prattling,
Oh consort of the God who swallowed poison of the sea,
I have saluted your feet saying , “I surrender”,
I do not have any need to beg with any others.

3.Bhayamini unakken endralamma , ini,
Jayajayam yendr u uraithalamma,
Uyirgal yaavum eendral yen arulal yaman,
Kayiru yennai pinaikkudamma (Oru kayil)

Mother you asked me, “Why fear for you now?”,
And she again told “From now on it is only victory.”
Due to the grace of her who gave birth to all souls,
The rope of Yama will not tie me.

Sixth week song

Pallavi

Mangattil thavamirujjum Devi, UMadevi, Aanadavalli,
Iyangaranai eendravale , thaye, Aadhi shakthi, Para Shakthi,
Angayil pasangusam kondu Karumbu villum nee cherthay,
Thangu thadai innumenna thaye , yenakkarula Odi varuvay. (Mangattil)

Oh Goddess who did penance in the forest of mangoes,
Oh Goddess, Oh Goddess Uma, Oh Goddess of joy,
Oh mother of the five handed god , Oh Mother,
Oh Primeval power, Oh divine power,
With rope and Goad with you , you collected sugarcane bow also,
What is the need for breaks now mother as you would come running to bless me.

Charanam

1.Palodu pazham kondu vanthen , trisooli bhagawathiye,
Nalodu irandin vaaram vanangukindren nin arulaal,
Aaruthalum , theruthalum koori , pathinaru perugal yavum,
Pethu vazha vazhigalum cheythu arul mazhai thaan pozhivayamma. (Mangattil)

Along with milk I have also brought fruits , Oh Goddess with a trident,
By your grace I am saluting you for four plus two weeks,
Oh mother tell consolation and encourgement , shower your grace so that,
I would be able to get the sixteen blessings and live happily.

2.Kutham yedu iruppinum , amma poruppadhu un kadanamma,
Chethram nee kondayaanaal , thangum shakthi yevarkkum undo,
Mathram yen vazhkayil vandhadu Maheswariye un arulaal,
Kootham pol vandha thunbam , ponathu sooriyani kanda pani pol. (Mangattil..)

Whatever may be my faults, it is your duty to pardon them,
For if you get angry , is there any one who can bear it.
Oh great goddess , change came in my life due to your blessing,
The sorrows that came like death, vanished like the snow before the Sun.

3.Adiyargal anaivarayum Amma neyaga unarnden Amma,
Kadina chol yethumindri thaye palai bhaktharkku koduthiduven,
Venduthal niraivethi vaippay Annai Kamakshi Karunakariye,
Veen pozhuthu ini melum illai , unnai vananguvathe yen velai Amma.

I realised mother that all devotees , are you yourself mother,
Without any harsh words, I would give this milk to devotees,
Please fulfill my requests , Oh Mother Kamaksi, Of doer of mercy,
I do not have any useless time now as my job is to worship you always.
