Meaning (from TK Govinda Rao’s book)

You, the presiding deity ("naayike") of Sri Kaanchi, bestow prosperity ("phala daayike") on those
("sritajana") who seek you.
You are the soverign ruler of this world ("lokeshwari") and also the sustainer ("paalini"). You are
Tripurasundari, and Maalini -- the youthful Durga. You are the soft-spoken ("manjubhaashini")
consort ("tharuni") of Lord Ekaamranaatha.
You are established ("madhya nilaye") in the harmonious union ("sanga") with Sivakaameshwara. You
are Shive, the auspiscious one whose glory is sung ("geye") by distinguished sages ("taapasa muni")
like Naaradha.
Your form is delicate ("komale") like the new ("nava") lotus sprout ("pallava"). O Shyamala, the dark
hued ("shyamale") one! Bless me with your grace. The youthful ("baale") omnipotent suzerain
("sarvabhauma") of the seven worlds! You have very large ("vishale") eyes ("nayana")!
