Meaning

Oh AmbA! When I address you as “my mother”, why is it that you will not respond and converse with me?

Oh mother mInAkSi! Is it fair on your part? I do not have anyone else except you! 

Oh! The one who is worshiped by the lotus-born (Brahma), hari (ViSNu), and hara (Shiva), oh the delicate one! I firmly believe in your lotus feet, I believe, oh kAtyAyani, kALika, bhavAni, the goddess of the universe, the consort of Lord SundarEshvara, bAlAmba, one with a sweet speech! Please show mercy on me.

You remove the sins committed by those who salute you, Oh mother! one with dark tresses of hair, the one who destoyed the host of demons, you are the one with lotus-like eyes, one with a moon-like face, the one who bestows all boons, Oh Ba”ngAru Bomma, I always seek your refuge.

Of the one who grants plenty of boons, please allay my fears and offer me protection.  Oh the one who generously showers prosperity, Oh Ambika, won’t you show mercy on your beloved son? Are you not the one who is crowned with titles like the mother of the universe, the one who protects the helpless, and so on? You are the most celebrated one as the sister of Lord shyAma k.rSNa, and the brave Tripurasundari!
