O Mother who bore me! O My Fortune! O nArAyaNi! O dharmAmbikE! O Mother whose limbs are golden
hued! O Sister of vishNu! O kAtyAyani! O Lotus Eyed! O Mother who always grants boons - praised by
this tyAgarAja! Please protect me; While I entreat You again and again to protect me and (I am)
dissipating, if You remain without protecting me, who else will protect? Kshetra: Tiruvaiyaru; In some
books, the name of rAga is given as ‘sindhu kannaDa’.
