Oh mAninI, the goddess mother, I became a slave of yours after looking at your kindness. You remove each of our sins, arrogance and anger and I seek to look at your shining face over and over. I changed from the unrighteous path and oh gadAdhari (holder of mace), I long to see your face beaming with kindness and also I heard of your husband’s prowess in sAma and nigama sAstrAs. Oh mother! I am praying/begging you to please grant me the wish to play flute at your feet for ever.
