Oh mother (tAyE) karNaranjanI, the one who created (InravaLE) me (ennai), who manifests as kAmAkshI in the city of kAncIpuram (kAncI), as the ruling/presiding (ALum) deity of the great (mA) city of madurai, as the large-eyed viSAlAkshI of vAraNAsI (kASI), as abhirAmi of tirukaDaiyUr who threw her ear-ring into the sky to imitate the full moon, and in the process spread (vISiya) moonlight (nilavoLi) on an amAvAsya night [1], I beseech (vENDum) you to bless (aruLa) me!!

[1] Refers to the story of abhirAma bhattar of tirukaDaiyUr - which is also famed as the place where mArkaNDEyan was blessed by amritaghaTESar.

prathibha.ramaswamy,
I can give you the meaning of the Charanam:
shrI kAnci kAmAkSi mA madurai ALum mInAkSi kAshi vishAlAkSi tirukkaDaiyUril
nilavoLi vIshiya annai abhirAmi aruLa vENDum tAyE karNaranjani ennai InravaLE

shrI kAnci kAmAkSi - Kamakshi of the holy town Kanchipuram
mA madurai ALum mInakShi - Meenakshi, the one who rules Madurai
kAshi visAlAkshi- Visalakshi of the holy town Kashi
tirukkaDaiyUril nilavoLi vIshiya annai abhirAmi - Mother Abirami who spread nIlavoLi(I think it means blue rays of light) in the holy town of tirukkaDaiyUr(A popular shrine in Tamilnadu)
aruLa vENDum tAyE karNaranjani ennai InravaLE - Oh Mother(tAye)! Please shower your grace on me(arula vendum) - Karnaranjani(name of the ragam) the one who created me!(ennai Inravale)
