O Mother SivA (SivE)! Please protect (pAhi) me (mAM); O ambikA (ambikE)! O Bestower (dAyaki) of boons (phala) (literally fruits) to those who seek refuge (Srita) in You!

O Mother kAtyAyani! O Mother dharma saMvardhani (name of pArvati at tiruvaiyAru kshEtra) resident (vAsini) (at tiruvaiyAru) on the Northern (uttara) bank (tIra) of river kAvEri – daughter of King kavEra (kavEraja) (kavErajOttara)!

O Mother SivA! please protect me; O ambikA! O Bestower of boons to those who seek refuge in You!

O Mother who is of the form (mayI) of animate (cara) and inanimate (acara) (carAcara-mayI)! Holding (pUni) green parrot (rAma cilukanu) in Your hand (kara) Lotus (aravindamuna) (karAravindamuna), it is not appropriate (rAdu) to look (jUDa) at me with apathy (parAkuga);

O Mother praised (vinutE) by this tyAgarAja – who is dear (AptuDagu) to Lord SrI raghuvara (raghuvarAptuDagu)! O Mother SivA! please protect me quickly (birAna); O ambikA! O Bestower of boons to those who seek refuge in You!
