Without anything to eat
During the time people were starving
When all these people
Gathered together in distress
Wondering what to do next
As they pondered back then
That enchanting Krishna residing on the joyful hill
Invoked the God of Rain, Varuna Bhagavan
He ordered the rains to pour down heavily
அங்க அடிச்சதோர் புயல் மழையாம்
என் ஆத்தாள் பெட்டி மேல் கிளம்பா

And a stormy rain struck the land
Causing my Mother's box to float up
In that milk-like river water
In that honey-like river water
Into our Sholavandan river
Your wooden box washed ashore, Mother!
Wondering what this mystery box could be
When people stepped up to look closely
It was the box of my beloved daughter Mariyamman!

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This folk devotional song celebrates Sholavandan Mariyamman, a prominent village deity worshipped in Tamil Nadu. The lyrics vividly describe nature blossoming in anticipation of the Goddess's arrival, framing her emergence through a traditional myth where her sacred idol floats down the Vaigai river inside a crafted wooden box during a time of extreme drought and famine. The villagers gather in wonder and fear, discovering that the box holds their protective mother deity, Sornamuthu Mariyamman.
