This is a composition of Muthuswami Dikshithar sung by Nithyasree in album ragam. Very confusing as it has tamil words also in between. Is it a Manipravalam krithi. I wish to know which Goddess' krithi is this and the word by word meaning along with the short tanam in the charanam.
Could someone help me !!

This is the last of the ten 'AbhayAmbA kritis' on the Goddess of mAyavaram(mayilADuthuraai)
These kritis are also composed in vrious vibhaktis as the 'kamalAmba navAvarNa kritis'.
shrI abhayAmbA Oh Goddess AbhayAmba
ninnu cintincinavAriki -to those who think about you
inda - now,
kavalai ellAm tIrumammA-all worries will vanish
A: hE abhayakarE varE Ishvari -oh supreme goddes with the abhayahastham,
krpatOnu - with compassion,
endanai rakSikka idu nalla samayam ammA-this is the right time to protect me,oh mother
C: nI atyadbhuta shubha guNamulu vini -having heard about your wonderful, auspicious attributes
nIvE dikkani nera nammiti-I have believed that you are my refuge
nIrajAkSi nija rUpa sAkSi nityAnanda guruguha kaTAkSi rakSi-oh the lotus eyed goddess,who is the witness to reall form,who bestows her grace through the corner of eyes on tne eternally blissful gurugua, protect (me)
