Amutha thirumugaththil kumutha vizhiyirandu
Azhagu mazhai pozhiyum arulai manathil kandu
Aananthath thaenooruthae anaiththum neeyaanathae
Amutha thirumugaththil kumutha vizhiyirandu
Azhagu mazhai pozhiyum arulai manathil kandu
Aananthath thaenooruthae anaiththum neeyaanathae
Vedham unathu paadhangalae
Virintha ulagam unthan geethangalae
Vedham unathu paadhangalae
Virintha ulagam unthan geethangalae
Megam neeyaniyum pon nagaiyae
Alangaara roobam kandaen
Adhilaeyum maayam kandaen
Alangaara roobam kandaen
Adhilaeyum maayam kandaen
Aalinganam thiru manjanam
Anantha sorkkam kandaen….
Amutha thirumugaththil kumutha vizhiyirandu
Azhagu mazhai pozhiyum arulai manathil kandu
Aananthath thaenooruthae anaiththum neeyaanathae
Sakthi malarntha yogaththilae
Thavazhum idhayam konda vegaththilae
Sakthi malarntha yogaththilae
Thavazhum idhayam konda vegaththilae
Yaezhu bhoomigalai kaanugindraen
Inba nadanam aadugindraen
Thirilogam engum leelai
Kadal yaezhum unthan keezhae
Thirilogam engum leelai
Kadal yaezhum unthan keezhae
Naan ennidam manam unnidam
Paar enthan vadivam thannai….
Paar enthan vadivam thannai….
Paar enthan vadivam thannai….
...
On your sweet, sacred face, two water-lily eyes,
Seeing in my heart the grace pouring like a rain of beauty,
Honey of pure joy overflows, and you have become everything to me.
On your sweet, sacred face, two water-lily eyes,
Seeing in my heart the grace pouring like a rain of beauty,
Honey of pure joy overflows, and you have become everything to me.
The sacred Vedas are your holy feet,
The vast world is made of your songs.
The sacred Vedas are your holy feet,
The vast world is made of your songs.
The clouds are the golden jewelry you wear.
I saw your beautifully adorned form,
And in it, I saw divine wonder.
I saw your beautifully adorned form,
And in it, I saw divine wonder.
A divine embrace, a sacred bath,
I saw an endless paradise...
On your sweet, sacred face, two water-lily eyes,
Seeing in my heart the grace pouring like a rain of beauty,
Honey of pure joy overflows, and you have become everything to me.
In the deep meditation where Shakti (divine power) blossoms,
In the swift rush of a heart crawling toward you,
In the deep meditation where Shakti (divine power) blossoms,
In the swift rush of a heart crawling toward you,
I see all the seven worlds,
And I dance in joyful bliss.
Across the three worlds is your divine play,
All seven oceans lie beneath your feet.
Across the three worlds is your divine play,
All seven oceans lie beneath your feet.
My body is here, but my heart is with you;
Look at what I have become...
Look at what I have become...
Look at what I have become...

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

This soul-stirring song from Devi Dharisanam expresses the intense spiritual trance and devotion of a seeker beholding the divine mother Goddess. The lyricist poetically describes the Goddess's omnipresence—where her feet represent the Vedas, the expansive universe acts as her song, and the clouds serve as her golden ornaments. As the devotee meditates deeply, the boundaries between the self and the Supreme Divine dissolve into pure cosmic ecstasy. In the second half, the song delves into yogic awakening and cosmic realization. The devotee experiences vision of all seven realms and oceans under the Goddess's grace, realizing that while the physical vessel remains human, the consciousness has merged completely with the divine mother.
