P: O kAmAkshI! Please protect (pAlincu) me. O Sanctifier (pAvanI)! O Destroyer (SamanI) of sins (pApa)! O ambA!

A: Why (Ela) did You do (jEsEvu) like this (I lAgu) to me (nAyandu) (literally towards me) (nAyandEla) who always (sadA)
beseeches (vEDukonEDi) You (ninnu) much (cAlA) in many (bahu) different ways (vidhamugA)? Please relieve (harincavE) my
grief (veta) quickly (vEgamE).
O kAmAkshi! Please protect me (nannu). O Sanctifier! O Destroyer of sins! O ambA!

C1: You (nIvu) have earned (ponditivi) an attractive (kAntamagu) (literally magnetic) name (pEru) that (ani) –
You always (E vELa) bestow (osagEvu) happiness (santOshamulu) (santOshamulosagEvani) to all (ellanu) those pious people
(sujanulaku) (sujanulakellanE) who think (dalacina) of You alone (ninnE) in their interior (svAntambulOna); and that (ani) -
You are the bestower (dAyinivi) (dAyinivani) of fruits (phala) of wishes (manOratha).
Aren’t (gadA) You the Mother (talli) who protected (kApADina) the Universe (jagamu) by assuming a gracious (karuNya) form
(mUrtivai)? I (nEnu) am Your (nIdu) child (biDDanu).
O kAmAkshi! Please protect by soothing (lAlinci) me. O Sanctifier! O Destroyer of sins! O ambA!

C2: This (I) Form (mUrti) having this much (inta) (mUrtiyinta) radiance (tEjO-mayamai), manifestation (visphUrti) of this (iTu)
(tEjO-mayamaiyiTu) kind (vale) of fame (kIrti), this (iTlanu) (visphUrtiniTlanu) embodiment (mUrti) of virtue (guNa) – are all
these found (galadA) anywhere (endaina) even if one searches (jUcina) (jUcinayendaina) in all the three Worlds (tri-
lOkamulO)?

Probably (EmO) because I undertook (nOcitinO) some religious austerities (nOmu) earlier (toli), I attained (labhinci) darSana
(darSanamu) of Your (nI) feet (pAda) lotus (padma) a thousand times (vEmAru) and I became (aiti) successful (kRta
arthuDanu) (kRtArthuDanaiti).
O kAmAkshi! Please protect me by heeding (Alakinci) to my (nA) plea (manavini) (manavinAlakinci). O Sanctifier! O Destroyer
of sins! O ambA!

C3: O Mother whose feet (pAda) are illumined (rAja) by the crown (makuTI taTa) jewels (maNi) of Emperors (rAja adhirAjan)
(adhirAjanmakuTI)! I (nE) sought (kOri) much (cAla) Your exclusive (nija) sannidhi (sannidhini), O Bestower of boons
(varadA) to all (samasta) people (janulaku ella) (janulakella)!
O Moon (rAja) Faced (mukhI)! O Mother extolled (nutA) by SyAma kRshNa! O Ruler (ISvari) of kAncI pura (purESvarI)! O
Blossomed (vikasa) Lotus (rAjIva) petal (daLa) eyed (akshI) (daLAkshI)! O Witness (sAkshI) of Universe (jagat) (jagat-sAkshI)!
O Gracious (prasanna) parA SaktI!
O kAmAkshi! Please protect me. O Sanctifier! O Destroyer of sins! O ambA!

Svara Sahitya:
O lalitA (lalita) resident (sadana) of mEru – golden (kanaka) mountain (giri)!
For those people who seek you (kOrina janula) who perform (sEyani) Your (ninu) (literally You) bhajana always (santatamu)...
Please listen (vinumu). You are Mother (jananivi) of entire (nikhila) Universe (bhuvana).
O kAmAkshi! Please remove (dIrci) my (mA) (literally our) troubles (duritamu) now (ipuDu) (jananiviyipuDu), grant (icci)
boons (varAlu) (varAlicci) and protect me. O Sanctifier! O Destroyer of sins! O ambA!
