Meaning

Oh mother, on this earth, there is no one except you who is a sanctuary to offer me protection.

Oh mInAkSi the one who yields protection to those who take shelter in you, I always believe in you, again and again, I believe in you.

You are the one who dwells in the city of Madhura, the one whose lotus-like feet are worshiped by Sarasvati and LakSmi, you are the one who has vanquished the demons Madhu and KaiTabha, you possess a swan-like gait, you are kAtyAyani,  You shine in the essence of the vEdas.

Oh shivA, oh AmbA! Please grant me my wishes and save me quickly. Is it a difficult task for you?  You are the beautiful benefactor, sha”nkari, and you are the one worshiped by Indra, Brahma, and others.

Oh shuka shyAmaLa, the sister of shyAma k.rSNa, the ever youthful kaumAri, the one who wears a flawless crescent moon on the head, the one whose lips resemble the bimba fruit, you are the treasure house of infinite compassion. Please protect me.

Oh shivA, the spouse of shiva, the enemy of cupid! I constantly meditate upon your feet in my mind, your gait resembles that of an elephant. Please listen, oh mother,  do not listen to other words,  Please grant me my wishes. Is it not true that you gladly confer bliss and good fortune on those who sing your glory?
