Goddess Kamakshi! Ever remembering that your lotus feet are my only refuge, I place my faith in you, O Goddess of Kanchi
Mother, your teeth resemble jasmine flower and your eyes are like the lotus. Please protect me.
You have the conch like neck and your tresses are dark like rain bearing clouds.
Your face resembles the moon. Your bosom is shapely and your gait is like that of an elephant. Your feet are adored by Brahma, Vishnu and Siva! You are the auspicious Shankari, please solve my problems expeditiously. Mother, pray listen!
You are the Kalpalata - the wish yielding creeper. You are the sanctuary of compassion, most benevolent one. Oh daughter of the (Himalaya) mountains, please protect me. Have I not surrendered to you ? Bestow on me boons without delay.
Obliterate my sins and give me devotion to worship your lotus feet for ever.
Are you not the Paavani - the purifier ? Don’t you hear my entreaties ? Why are you indifferent ? Pray listen, mother!
Oh the annihilator of wickedness; you are renowned for granting the desires of those devotees who throng your feet in supplication, and bestowing your benevolence to the people of the world. The Vedas to proclaim this verily.
You reside in the Kadamba forest encompassed by a host of celestials. You hold a lotus in your hand. You are to the arrogant demons, what the lion is to the intoxicated tusker. You burn to cinder the afflictions of your devotees. You confer opulence on those who meditate on your infinite glory. Now, is the time to grant me refuge.
Sister of Syamakrishna! Sivashankari - the enchanter of Shiva! The supreme suzerain ! Are Vishnu, Shiva and others capable of reckoning your infinite glory ? I am your son, have you no affection for me ? Devi, why this apathy ? Please protect me now, Sri Bhairavi!
