Meaning
Oh the daughter of the king of
mountains, please come in great hurry to protect me.
Oh mother: Do I not believe
that you are my only refuge? Didn’t I plead before you? Please tell me.
You, the one whose feet are
adored by the valiant KumAra (SubrahmaNya), you possess dark tresses like the
rain-bearing dark cloud, are you not the mother of all three worlds? Your
auspicious exploits are sung by sage Narada, and others, you are the most
generous one, I seek refuge at your feet.
Oh the fish-eyed one, please
shower your grace on me. The description that you are “the protector of the
helpless ones” appropriately suits you most. You are benevolent toward the
devas, who are the enemies of the demons, oh the ancient one, sister of
shyAmak.rSNa, please bestow on me liberation from sorrows.
The following composition on
Goddess MinAkSi is not found in any of the published works, but it has been
sung by Maharajapuram Santanam in a twin cassette album, “shri ShyAma
Shastri krithis” under the AVM-audio label (AVM BF SR 192/193). The
authenticity of this song as a genuine composition of ShyAma ShAstri is not
yet clear.
