Meaning

Oh Devi!  Other than your lotus feet, there is nothing else on the earth for me to take shelter in.

Oh shrI mInAkSamma, the Goddess in the form of supreme knowledge, the one who delights in the prosperous city of Madhura.

From the days of yore, are you not renowned for protecting the helpless? The sovereign of the world, my mother! Who else is a repository of compassion for me in this world?  You, the one who delights in fresh betal leaves, please quickly grace me with your glances.   This is the most appropriate time for you to protect me and remove my anxieties.

You are like a peacock in the Kadamba forest. You are ambA, sha”nkari, the one who subdues the demons like caNDa, you are m.rDAni, you hold  a parrot in your hand, you are auspicious kalyANi,  Is it not true that those who constantly meditate upon you acquire your everlasting blessing?   You are the consort of Lord sadAshiva, you are established in consciousness and bliss. You have sweet speech.

Oh UmA, ramA, the one worshiped by shyAmak.rSNa, the daughter of the mountain,  kaumAri, is there anyone equal to you?  Is it such a difficult task for you to protect me? Oh omnipresent mInAKSi, is it fair on your part to delay this simple request? Why this play? I have been blessed to the vision of your feet. I have  come to you to hear your speech.
