Meaning:
You took The Form Of Devi Saraswati Holding book of Knowledge
And Musical Instrument ‘Veena’, Seated On White Lotus
Granting Flawless Pure White Mind
You took The Form Of Beautiful Green Complexioned Devi Meenakshi
Granting With Pleasure Desireless Life To Those who bow
You as Red Complexioned Devi at Samayapuram
Grant Blessings For Healthy And Prosperous Life
Oh Mother NIlAyadAkshi, Jaya BhavAni Devi
Whose Splendour Attracted Blue Necked Lord Shiva
Thy Divine Yellowish Holy Face, Thy Divine Smiling Lips
Thy Body With Golden Complexion With Petal Like Softness
Thy Bluish Beautiful Eyes and Lusturous Dark Hair Style
Oh, What A Stunning Celestial Beauty, How Can I Describe It?
Knowing No Words To Explain I welcome you with Colourful Rangoli Patterns
And Invite With Prayers, I Beseech Thee Oh MA, Please Come, Grace And Bless Us
Pray Relieve Me From All Thoughts
And Make Me Attain Thy Divine Holy Feet
Oh Mother NIlAyadAkshi, Jaya BhavAni Devi
Whose Splendour Attracted Blue Necked Lord Shiva
