(This   great prayer  is addressed  to Goddess Kamakshi in the kalikambal temple  , near  High Court , Chennai.  When I translated few Works of Durgai Chithar   and posted it in Face book, my Smt.Shanti Elangovan   pointed out that I have not translatedthe great prayer  by Durgai Chithar  called Sri Kamakshi chinthamani .I said  I will translate and the last   few days, I was living in ecstasy of great devotion. .Each  line was  golden and  it brought tears  of devotion in   my eyes.
Please read it, understand it   and afain read it.
The Wikipedia says about  the temple  “The Kālikāmbal Temple is a   temple dedicated to Shri Kāligāmbāl (Kāmākshi )and Lord Kamadeswarar, located in Parry's corne (Old: George Town) locality of the city of Chennai Tamil Nadu, India. The temple is located in Thambu Chetty Street, a prominent financial street running parallel to Rajaji Salai.
The temple was originally located closer to the sea shore and was relocated to the current site at 1640 AD. It was then built in 1678. Shivaji, the Maratha warrior and the founder of the Hindawi-Swarajya in the 17th century, had worshiped in this temple incognito on 3 October 1667. It is believed that a fierce form of Goddess was held in worship earlier and that this form was replaced with the shanta swaroopa (calm posture) form of Goddess Kamakshi.)

Oh noon which is the face, oh complete salvation, oh companion  of path of progress,
Oh mother  who lives in side, oh rare mother, oh beauty of the beauty  who never  goes far away,
Oh illusion of magic of the world, Oh four type of  education,, oh illusion of world, oh mother, oh wife of Shiva,
Oh merciful mother Kamakshi, who stands  singing poems  in Chennai   where  ocean plays.

Vaadamal.  Adiyarai   vaazhthida   cheithidum  vaamaye , yengal  umaye,
Paadamal   paadiye papathai  ottidum , parvathi yengal   shivaye,
Koodamal koodiye koormathi kariyanai , koottinai  koothan suvaye,
Thedamal  thedidum ,therchiyin deviye, then vaasam veesum malare,
Aadatha arangame, aananda  bhogamne, aathangam theerkkum arrive,
Kadal aadu  chennayil  kavi paadi nindridum  , karunai  kamakshi thaaye.

 Oh Goddess  occupying the left sideWho  Does not allow her devotees to filt   and make them live , Our uma,
Oh Parvathi , wife of Shiva   who sings without singing and drives    away all   the sins,
Oh taste of Nataraja, joining without joining, you added up the  intelligent    elephant god,
Oh flower wafting smell of honey , oh goddess of the  ability   to search   without searching,
Oh Stage   without dance, oh pleasure of joy, oh wisdom which removes   worries,
Oh merciful mother Kamakshi, who stands  singing poems  in Chennai   where  ocean plays.

29.Sri Kamakshi Thai (Mother  Kamakshi)

Malarambu  angusamum , mayakkamaru paasamathum , manmathanaar  karumbu villum,
Alaraana un vizhiyil, arul veesu mamazhayum , azhagudane   anbum ponga,
Pularaatha vaazhvotti, puthu vaazhvu  thanthidave, punitha migu kachi kamakodi,
Thalamangu dhayavaaki thaniyalaai thavam pesi, thathuvamai  nindra  unnai,
Kalakamatha  manathudanekanithu urugi pothiduvaar, kavalayellam kaninthottu , kuyile,
Kadal aadu  chennayil  kavi paadi nindridum  , karunai  kamakshi thaaye.

The hook of   the flower arrow, the affection which  does not faint, the sugar cane  of God of love,
Your eyes  which are  like blossom , the great rain which showers bliss and  the love  with beauty  rising up,
Make  living without day break   and to give    new  life  here is the  , Kanchi Kamakoti with   divine  purity,
You who stood as philosophy  with kindles   and   alone  in that place  ,
With a mind without confusion . with a melted heart they will praise, Oh koel drive away  all my worries,
Oh merciful mother Kamakshi, who stands  singing poems  in Chennai   where  ocean plays.
