For Panchali alone,
Vaikunthan gave robes.
For everyone in the world,
The weaver gave clothes.
Is it the weaver or is it Vaikunthan?
Is it the weaver or is it Vaikunthan?

Is it the weaver or is it Vaikunthan?
Is it the weaver or is it Vaikunthan?
Who is greater here? Who stands higher?
O Mother Bhairavi, you tell us!

Only one who wears clothes is a complete human!
Turning that half human into a complete human,
Isn't this weaver truly sacred?
Turning that half human into a complete human,
Isn't this weaver truly sacred?
Tangles in the thread, troubles in his life, yet
He toils tirelessly day after day...
Is it the weaver or is it Vaikunthan?
Who is greater here? Who stands higher?
O Mother Bhairavi, you tell us!
O Mother Bhairavi, you tell us!
O Goddess Meenakshi, with fish-shaped eyes,
Across the whole world spreads your rule of grace!
O Goddess Meenakshi, with fish-shaped eyes,
Across the whole world spreads your rule of grace!
Look upon us with eyes overflowing with grace, Mother!
Look upon us with eyes overflowing with grace, Mother!
Show our weaver clan the way to thrive, Mother!
Look upon us with eyes overflowing with grace, Mother!
Show our weaver clan the way to thrive, Mother!
Show us the way, Mother! Show us the way, Mother! Show us the way, Mother!
