Meaning: (From Sangeetham.com)
Mother, (amma"), this is the right ("idam") moment ("tarunam") to protect ("rakshikka") me
("ennai"). O Kamakshi thou art the treasure house of compassion ("Karunaanidhiyaagiya "). Protect
me ("rakshakki"). I have no duty other than uttering your name. Do I have any other deity for allaying
me of my worries? Now is the time for you condescend and look at me. You incarnated to develop the
universe. O primordial energy source. O mother, tell me who else is there to support me? I seek your feet
like the Chataka bird seeking the moon. O daughter ("kumari") of Himavan ("shailaraja"), sister
("sodhari") of Syama Krishna, you always give more ("kaimel tharuvaye") boons ("phalathai") than
asked for ("kaamitha"). You are the one ("neeye") who protects me ("kanpaarthu rakshippa") always
("eppodum").
