A translation on the Devi rising from the milky ocean, would add to the delight of this beautifully worded, picturesque and fragrant song. Thanks!

Edited after listening to the song.

pArkkaDal udittavaLE tigaTTA pEramudE palvagai selvamellAm taruvad-un aruLE

O (LakshmI) one who arose from the milky ocean; O insatiable nectar; it is your grace which yields many types of wealth. (#1)

A: Seer tara nI irukka shen tAmarai sirikka yAriDam nAn kETpEn candra sahOdariyE

Who else can I request (beseech / solicit boons from) when you, the sister of moon (#2) are seated (nI irukka) on a blossoming (cirikka) red lotus (sentAmarai) to grant me (tara) wealth (Seer).

C1: tAmarai vizhigaLO dayavinai pUttiDum tanga padangaLO gati tara ArttiDum
mAmalar karangaLO nidhi tannai vArttiDum mantira paN isai unnai varavETriDum ammA

O mother - your lotus-like eyes are adorned with grace; your golden (tanga) feet (padangaL) grant (tara ArttiDum) salvation (gati); #3 Your hands, soft as flowers, pour out wealth; my melodious musical hymns welcome you.

2: sheNbaga malliyoDu en pagar pUveDuttu tiruvaDi malarinil vaittu dEvi unnai tudittEn
swarNamum vaNNamumAi vAindiDa aruLvAi sundaravalli unnai eNNum varam taruvAi

I offered worship to you by placing at your sacred lotus feet champaka, jasmine and other radiant flowers. O beautiful young lady (sundaravalli), grant me the boon to meditate upon you; grant (my life?) to be formed with (vAindiDa) physical wealth (swarNam - lit. gold) and virtue (vaNNam) #4

#1 – Palvagai selvam could represent all or a few of the Nava Nidhis: Sankha, padma, etc.
#2 – Since the moon also emerged as a result of churning of the milky ocean, he is the brother of Mahalakshmi
#3 – from Cologne online dictionary: Arttu-tal 1. to feed; 2. to fill, complete; 3. to cause to experience; 4. to give
#4 Meanings of vaNNam include colour, beauty, poetical rhythm, song, garland, virtue, merit, etc.

[rshankar]

Sridhar - lovely. In the lakshmi ashTottaram, the devi's 64th nAma is candrasahOdarI..she is also refered to as the sister of the poison, halAhalam for the same reason.

[ksrimech]

tAyAr at kaLazhagar kOil is sundaravalli thAyAr.

sridhar_rang or rshankar - Could it be tArATTiDum?

The lines "sheNbaga malliyoDu en pagar pUveDuttu" reminds me of the periyAzhvAr tirumozhi pAsuram #91 (pUcchUTTal padigam 2.7.10). "SeNbaga mallikaiyODu senkazhunIr iruvATchi en pagar pUvum koNArdEn inRu ivaicchUTTavAvenRu"

[sridhar_ranga]

Thanks for the encouragement Ravi and thanks Krishna for the reference to Periyaazhwaar's pAsuram which seems to have inspired the flowery lyrics in this song!

Just took a listen in Humma. Corections to the lyrics:

A: starts with "Seer tara" (not "Keertarai")
C2: it goes "swarNamum vaNNamumAi" (not "varNamum")

in C1 it sounds like "gati tara ArttiDum".

I have edited my translation with the above corrections.

[smala]

Sridhar, thanks for the effort.

Can you give specific translations to the following:

palvagai:
sirikka :
nidhi tannai vArttiDum :
en pagar :
unnai eNNum :

[rshankar]

palvagai - many (pal) different kinds (vagai)
sirikka - usually means smile/laugh, but also means to blossom
nidhi tannai vArttiDum - one who generously pours (vArttiDum) treasures (nidhi tannai)
en pagar - I am not sure, but contextually may mean ena (as examples), pagar (radiant) flowers...
unnai eNNum - to think (eNNum) of you (unnai)

[smala]

Thanks, Ravi. Such a blessing to have you around.

Would it be correct to say

tigaTTA pEramudE : one whose honeyed/necatarean name does not satiate
shen tAmarai sirikka : one who (stands) smiling on the blossoming red lotus
