Translated by

P.R.Ramachander

(Here is a very touching and mellifluous   prayer addressed to Goddess at Chothanikkara .)

1.Sri Chothanikkare  yellarkkum ammayi,

Vaneedum ammaye , Kai thozhunnen,

Anthakam thannude  yanthakanakiya ,

Chandra chooda priye  , kai thozhunnen.

Oh mother who lives    as mother  for all,

In  Chothanikkara  , I salute  you,

Oh darling of God who    wears the moon,

And is the death   to God of death  , I salute you.

2.Ananda roopini  , aathanga haarini,

Vanava  poojithe , kai thozhunnen,

Yi trilokathingal  yillamme , ninne pol,

Puthra vathsalyam  yeeeridum amme.

Oh form of joy  , Oh destroyer  of worries ,

Who is worshipped  by Gods  ., I salute   you,

In these three worlds , there   is none like you ,

Who has   great affection like  to your son.

3.Yi varunna moha jalangal agannidaan ,

Paavane , Parvathi, Kai thozhunnen,

Ul kanivode nee yeneyum , ninnude,

Trukkannal   nokkugil yenthu chedam.?

Oh  Pure one , Oh Parvathi  , I salute you,

So that  All those illusions  which come should go away.

With mercy in your heart  , if you  see me ,

With your divine  eyes, what is the problem?

4,Oozhiyil vaazhum agathikalkku aasrayam,
KOzha koodathe yegum amme,  thozham,

Rishi janangalim , deva  deavnmaarum,

Bhajicheedunnu nin  nama  Jaalam.

Oh mother who gives protection to   the orphans,

Of this world   without inducement  , I salute you,

The saints    as well as  the  gods of Gods,

Are    singing  your magical names.

5.Yellil layicheedum yennakku  thulyam,

Yannullilum vazhanam amme , nithyam,

Yeri vannedunnu  dukhangal oronnai,

Neerunnu manasam dukhagniyil.

Oh mother you have  to also live   in my mind  ,

Similar to the oil  in Gingelly  seed, daily,

One after another   sorrows  climb up in my mind,

And my mind is burning   in the fire   of sorrow.

6.Iyhika jeevitham   kondu onnum neduvaan,

Mohikkunilla amme , sathyamathre,

Onnilum  , moham udhikkadirikkuvaan,

Yennum arinja pol    vandhikkunnen.

Oh mother  , I do not  desire to achieve  anything,

By this domestic life and in truth  ,

I am saluting you as I do daily  ,

So that, I do not get desire  on anything.

7.Orthaal athisayam amme , nin vaibhavam,

Keerthippathinulla   sakthi poraa,

Oudharya budiyode , yenneyum amma than,

Padanthikathil  iruthidene.

It is surprising when I think, I do not have  ,

Suffecient   capability   to sing about your greatness,

And so with a liberal mind  , please  ,

Make  me sit    at the  feet of the mother.

8.Ambike, Chandike, Sri Lalithambike ,

Nin pada yugmathil kumbidunnen,

Amme  , Maheswari, devi Bhagawathi,

Janma mukthikku jnan  prarthikunnen.

Oh Ambika  , Oh Chandika  , Oh Lalithambika ,

I salute    at your pair of feet,

Oh mother , Oh greatest Goddess , Oh divine Bhagwathi,

I am praying for salvation  from this birth cycle.
