this mangalam was performed by Vaijayanti mala Bali......
i could get the first line "Mangala padam balichu madhyamavati"
wat i could understand the meaning was that it was about the consort of Shri Sundareshwara and also about Madhyamavati
however, i m more than confused now
can somebody please help me with the lyrics and the meaning
thank you

Sara - I have used the tamizh meaning given by kmr and tried to fit the correct telugu word in...since my telugu leaves much to be desired, there maybe mistakes here, especially in the last sentence. Hopefully, one of the others will chip in. I did change how a couple of the words were split...

pallavi
mangaLa pradaMbuliccu madhyamAvati

Oh maiden (yuvati) in the middle (madhyama) [1] who is the granter (iccu) of auspicious (mangaLa) boons (pradaMbulu)!

anupallavi
(sA) rangamu dharincina sundarESuni paTTapurANi

You are the consort (paTTpurANi) of Lord sundarESvara (sundarESuni) who holds (dharincina) a deer (sArangamu) in his hand!

caraNam
kanna talli nI vaiyuNDa kannatalli kaladA
(A) panna rakshaki nIdu sannidhi vaccitin(i)ammA

As long as you (nI), the mother (talli) who created (kanna) me, exist (vaiyuNDa), do I need (kaladA) another mother (kannatalli) to cherish me? Oh mother (ammA) who protects (rakshaki) me from calamities (Apanna), I have come (vaccitini) to your (nIdu) sanctum-sanctorum (sannidhi).

madhyamakAla sAhityam
kannaDa salupakumamma ninnunE viDuvanammA
minnaga madhuralO nelakoniyunna mInAMba

Oh mother (ammA)! Oh respendent (minnuga) mInAkshi (mInAmbA) who is established (nelakoniyunna) in (lO) the city of madurai (madhura)! Please do not ignore me (salupaku) even after noticing me (kannDa), for I (nE) do not intend to move (viDuvanu) from your side (ninnu).

FOOTNOTE
[1] The 'maiden in the middle' refers to the fact that pArvati is situated in the middle of the triumverate formed by brAhmi/sarasvati, mAhESvari/pArvati, nArAyaNi/lakshmi. 'madhyamAvati' could also be interpretted as 'one who relishes the rAga madhyamAvati'

oh wow.Thanks a lot.Now that solves a lot of confusion...Madhama yuvati....i had once thought that the Devi was addressed as Madhyamavati but could not de-code it
Also as u say Madhyamavati can be taken as one who relishes ragam Madhyamavati.
Thanks a lot
