(where is this place?) - at kALi kaTTam (in Kerala?) - at all eight directions - dancing - dEvi bhagavati shULi - three eyed's spouse - all the three worlds - having created

Oh, Nectar of the flower of the tree of real knowledge that is shining at the top of the vEdAs!
Oh neeLi who assumed the shape of the terrible kALi and destroyed mahisAsurA to remove the difficulties of the dEvASs
You killed the mutineers caNDA and muNDA and sent them to Yama.
Oh dEvi, Bhagavati, shULi, the three-eyed one's spouse who shines at tItakalumunjai (where is this place?), kALIghat and everywhere, having created all the three worlds
and ruling them with great leadership that is praised by the trimUrtis, please bless us mAtangi, maHAkALi who came so that mAvUr flourishes.

I guess it is "teedu agalum ujjainiyilum" (in Ujjaini, where evils are removed) & kALi ghaTTattilum (in kALi ghAT - Calcutta/ Kolkata)

trinEtra dhArini - one who sports three eyes (guess kALi also has three eyes)

Yes - kALI, pArvati; Siva and ganESa all have three eyes. The other member of that family has 12 (ashTAdaSa kaNTha lOcana - 12 eyes + 6 necks)

Dikshitar in Subramanyena confirms that Skanda has 18 eyes 'AshtA daSa lochana Kantena'.... being 6 faces(Shanmukha) with 3 eyes on each face (2 normal eyes with one Jnana eye).

Thanks to all here ; Enna Solven, Sridhar Rang, Rshankar and Rishi Sharma. Is there any recording of this song ?

Sorry - I had interpreted Sri Dikshitar's lyrics (for subrahmaNyEna) incorrectly as 'ashTAdaSa lOcana kanThEna' - the correct phrase is 'ashTAdaSa lOcanAkhaNDEna (lOcana akhaNDEna)' - so, yes, 18 eyes, 3 per face. I guess it means 'one who is whole/complete (akhaNDEna), with 18 (ashTAdaSa) eyes (lOcana)'.
