From rain-cloud hair to flower-like feet,
a divine vision appears.
From rain-cloud hair to flower-like feet,
a divine vision appears.
Graceful forms and magical wonders
rule over it, ruling with divine grace.
Graceful forms and magical wonders
rule over it, ruling with divine grace.
From rain-cloud hair to flower-like feet,
a divine vision appears...
Upon her crescent-moon forehead,
I saw drawn bow-shaped brows.
In the shade of her eyelids,
I saw fiery, glowing eyes.
Like a lotus blooming in a pond... like a lotus...
Like a lotus blooming in a pond,
I saw soft petal-like lips, I saw her forehead,
I saw her eyes, I saw her lips,
I saw her fruit-sweet lips.
Like a lotus blooming in a pond,
I saw soft petal-like lips.
Beside the smile on her soft lips,
I saw precious pearls of Korkai (ancient pearl city).
From rain-cloud hair to flower-like feet,
a divine vision appears...
Like a right-spiraled conch, her slender neck sways...
Aa.....aa.....aa.....aa.....aah.....aah-aa.....
Like a right-spiraled conch, her slender neck sways...
As two fine fruits dance like the sacred three fruits,
as two fine fruits dance like the sacred three fruits,
as her waist-chain sparkles and her slender waist sways,
as her thighs shaped like smooth plantain stems sway,
as her waist-chain sparkles and her slender waist sways,
as her thighs shaped like smooth plantain stems sway,
what part of her form can I praise?
What could I possibly leave out?
Why did all the wisdom I ever gained
stand silent with its hand over its mouth?
Aa.....aa.....aa.....aa.....aah.....aah-aa.....
Aah.....aah-aa.......
Walking gently over flowers and measuring gold with grace,
Goddess, your lotus feet,
sought by all the gods and the holy trinity,
are the sacred lotus of the Vedas!
As jangling anklets chime the sound of 'Om',
as red kumkum shines bright on her lovely face,
as literature, music, and dance drama unfold,
as the seven seas and eight directions shatter and shake,
with the rhythm of 'Thakita thakita thakita thakidathom',
as the earth trembles to the syllables of the dance beats,
Ma-ga-sa-ga-sa ni-sa-ni-pa-ma-ga-ma,
as melodious notes and ragas play...
To the rapid beats of the pambai drum,
to the booming sound of the chenda drum,
dancing upon your stage, O Mother,
with deep booming rhythms,
and the thunderous pounding of parai drums,
O queen celebrated for expressive dance!
Mastering every artistic grace, like a young
parrot seeking refuge at your feet,
practicing dance with graceful charm,
for the entire world to witness...
As Lakshmi bows at your feet,
as Saraswati showers poetic verses,
long live the sacred dance of Parvati, Goddess of the Mountains!
As the sky and the earth dance, and all
living creatures sway in tune with the dance,
so that our eyes may drink in all this beauty,
O Goddess of Grace, come closer to us...
From rain-cloud hair to flower-like feet,
a divine vision appears....aa....aa....aa.....
