O Mother (ammA) mInAkshi (mIna akshi) (literally fish eyed) (mInAkshammA)! Is it fair (nyAyamA)?
Is this (idi) fair (nyAyamA) for mInAkshi (mInAkshikidi)?
Who (evaru) else (vErE) than (vinA) You (ninnu) is there (unnAru) as my refuge (dikku)
(dikkeverunnAru)?
O Mother! If I call You as ‘O My Mother’, won’t You talk to me?

caraNam 1
O Most Lovely (su-lalita) Mother extolled (nuta) by brahmA – abiding (bhava) in lotus (sarasija), vishNu
(hari) and Siva (hara)! I thrice affirm that I steadfastly (sthiramu ani) (sthiramani) trusted (nammiti
nammiti nammitini) Your (nI) feet (pada) lotus (pankajamula).
O Mother kAtyAyani! Please show (jUDavE) mercy (karuNa). O kALikA! O bhAvAni! O Supreme
Goddess (parama ISvari) (paramESvari)! O Queen (rANi) of Lord sundarESa (sundarESu) (name of

O Mother who redresses (vimOcani) sins (pApa) of those (jana) who extol (vinuta) You! O Mother who
bore us (jananI)! O Mother with rain-cloud (ghana) like dark (nIla) tresses (vENi)! O Destroyer
(vidaLita/damanI) of entire community (maNDala) of asuras (dAnava)!
O Lotus (vanaja) Eyed (lOcanA)! O Moon (sudhA-kara) Faced (AnanA) (sudhAkarAnanA)! O
Bestower (dAyaki) of boons (vara)! O Mother (ammA)! I remain (unnAnu) constantly (anayamu)
praying (kOri) (kOriyunnAnammA) to You (ninu), O Golden (bangAru) Idol (bommA)!

caraNam 3
Please protect (brOvumu) me (nannu), granting (osagi) refuge (abayamu) (literally freedom from fear)
(abhayamosagi), O Bestower of Boons (varadA)! Aren’t You (gadA) very (nera) generous (dAtavu), O
ambikA! Won’t You have (rAdA) compassion (daya) on Your child (biDDapai) abundantly (goppaga)?
O Mother (jananI) of entire (akhila) Worlds (lOka)! Don’t You have (gAdA) the appellation (birudu) of
(anETi) ‘Protector (rakshaki) of destitutes (anAtha)’? O Sister (sOdari) of that celebrated (vaibhavamu
gala) vishNu – SyAma kRshNa! O Valorous (vIra) Sakti, tripura sundari!
O Mother! If I call You as ‘O My Mother’, won’t You talk to me?
