You are the sole refuge for all in the world. Kings adore your powers. Your face is beautiful like the Moon. Your eyes are like lotus petals. Oh Kamakshi, you shine splendidly with your virtues.

Oh my dear Mother, why are you so indifferent? Is it fair? Am I not your sincere devotee? Is it difficult for you to protect me? You are the savior of all 'Lokas'. You are Annapurna with ever cheerful countenance. You are bestower of boons. I submit my requests in your presence. You are expert in alleviating my fears.

Oh daughter of Himalayas, why are you hesitating? Did I pray other deities for my protection? I can not find any deity full of virtues like you. You engross in music. You are the queen of Siva whose neck is blue. I sincerely kept faith in you.

Being myself wavering I wonder whether I am reaping the consequences of my previous 'Karmas'. I have totally surrendered to you. Oh Kanchi Kamakshi, please shower your grace without fail. Syamakrishna worships you. Oh Devi grant me good name and fame. Please fogive my failings.
Svara Sahityam :
Oh Supreme Goddess, you are the queen of Lord Siva. Please listen to my appeal. I don't want to seek favours from other wicked lords who have no good manners.
