    Here is  a collection of malayalam prayer songs addressed  to Lord Ayyappa  , taken from a book  of songs sung during the Sastha preethi   celebrations in the Bangur Nagar Sri Ayyappa temple .Majority  of the songs sung  in this sastha preethi are  in Malayalam. I was requested  by one of thedevotees of the temple to  transliterate  all the songs sung and type it out in English. I Did this job with  great pleasure. Here  is the English translation of few of these   songs.

Ayyappa , I surrender to you , Ayyappa  I surrender  to you God,
Oh Lord  of Sabari mountains , Ayyappa I surrender  to  you God.

After  observing penance of Mandalam,
After chanting prayers  with one lakh letters .
Carrying  the  burden of sins and blessings , and the Bundle  of two parts ,
We are   coming to   step on the  golden mountain   (Ayyappa, …)

After  taking    bath in River Pampa,
After waking up the  parrot of temple sleeping in me,
With an empty drum , dancing in Petta   and also singing ,
We are coming   to step on the ladder  of eighteen steps.  (Ayyappa..)

In the divine door of the sanctum   sanctorum,
When mountains of camphor  salute and  melt down,
We are coming  to become   the black Thulasi( ocimum )leaves,
Which kiss of  the divine feet which shines like Padmaraga stones.  (Ayyappa..)

Oh Golden Ayyappa, I surrender, I surrender, I surrender,
Oh Ayyappa , I surrender , I surrender , Oh golden Ayyappa

Carrying the two section bundle, when we get out of our home ,
The  bunch of flowers  of devotion start  opening.

In the   call “ Oh God  Ayyappa I surrender to you”,
The essence of this world gets ready  as the divine music.

After   song and   dance   in the  temple of Erumeli  ,
All Ayyappas depart   with great unity.

The God Vaavar   is saluted properly and ,
The garden forest (poongavanam ) opens the flower  of past glory.

After  singing the story of  Hari and hara, when we reach the canal  of Perur(Perurthodu),
The  son oh Harihara    would bless  us.

When we see  the  relations at Kalahati,
Then we can hear song of tides   from Azhutha  river.

When we spread the bed sheet and lie down in shore of Azhutha,
The flowers of Thulasi  would bloom in the garden of the soul.

After  taking bath  at the dawn , we walk taking the stone ,
Cross the   Azhutha hill   and walk further.

When  we move   singing the brother  of elephant faced God,
The hill where stone(Kallidaam kunnu)  has to be put nears

After  we cross the Azhutha downs and cross  kari ilam canal ,
The Ayyappas would reach  the door  of Karimala.

For not getting the feet knocked while climbing Karimala ,
We would sing the song of the son of enemy of Manmatha.

When we sing songs about him who lived in Pandalam,
We would cross   the Pamba river  and become ecstasic.

We should take bath in the  clear   water of the cool waves of Pamba,
And should forget   all our sorrows.

When with happiness we do food charity and proceed further  ,
We can see the lord’s Pamba light at a   distance.

Grant  me great  peace of mind.
