Meaning:

O Mother! You are the daughter of the Pandya king Malayadhwaja,

You are the lady with the face glowing green.

O Mother! You have the beauty of the moon.

You have the great expertise in all the arts,

You allow equal rights to all the creeds,

You are soft and sweet spoken,

You express affection in music and rhythm,

You inspire us with your beautiful and expressive song,

You have gained fame for killing the demon, Mahishasura,

You protect and care for Sri Krishna Rajendra, the Maharaja of Mysore,

Even pray to Siva and the mother Parvati.

Mother! You glow with the blue colour,

You care for the whole world,

You glow like a full moon
