விடிவெள்ளி மாடம் எழில் அன்னை கூடம்
விடிவெள்ளி மாடம் எழில் அன்னை கூடம்
அபிஷேக ஆராதனை தினம் தினம்
ஆனந்த அருள் போதனை

Daily sacred ablutions and ritual worship,

நீர் முகில் போல் கூந்தல்
நிழல்படம் போல் நெற்றி
திங்களைப் போல் திலகம்
வானவில் போல் புருவம்
Hair dark and lush like rain-bearing clouds,
Forehead serene like a sheltered shady path,
Vermilion mark radiant like the glowing moon,
Eyebrows arched gracefully like a rainbow,
நெய்தலைப் போல் கண்கள்
செந்தூரம் போல் செவ்வாய்
சிவலிங்கம் போல் கழுத்து
காற்றலை போல் கைகள்
Eyes blooming like water lilies,
Red lips vivid like crimson vermilion,
Neck sculpted in the shape of a Sivalingam,
Hands swaying gracefully like gentle breeze waves,
எழுந்தாள் மெல்ல அசைந்தாள்
மின்னல் ஆயிரம் மின்ன
As she stood up and gently swayed,
A thousand flashes of lightning brightened the sky,
நடந்தாள் நின்று சிரித்தாள்
ஜெய பேரிகை முழங்க
As she walked, paused, and smiled,
Drums of victory resounded everywhere,
பார்த்தாள் வினை தீர்த்தாள்
பசும் சோலைகள் குலுங்க
As she glanced, she eradicated all past sins,
Making lush green groves rustle with joy,
பூத்தாள் முகம் வேர்த்தாள்
வெள்ளி பனி மலை உருக
As she bloomed and her face glistened with sweat,
The silver snow-capped mountain began to melt,
கணகண கங்கன கதிரொளி பறக்க
பனபன பம்பன பம்பையும் ஒலிக்க
தனதன தந்தன தவிலொலி சிறக்க
தாம்திமி தையென தாளங்கள் பிறக்க
With jingling bangles and echoing earrings fluttering,
As the rhythmic beats of the pambai drum echoed,
As the majestic sounds of the thavil drum flourished,
As the rhythmic beats of 'thaamthimi thai' were born,
ஆடினாள் நடனம் ஆடினாள்
அன்னை ஆடினாள் நடனம் ஆடினாள்....
She danced, she performed her celestial dance,
The Divine Mother danced, she performed her cosmic dance!
சங்கீத சௌபாக்யமே தேவி
சௌந்தர்யம் உன் ரூபமே....

Song interpretation
This devotional hymn from Sarvam Sakthi Mayam celebrates the Goddess Parasakthi as the personification of musical wealth, divine knowledge, and absolute aesthetic beauty. Lyricist Vaali weaves a vivid portrait of the Mother Goddess, invoking Vedic wisdom and describing her physical form through rich classical imagery—comparing her hair to rain clouds, brows to rainbows, and neck to a Sivalingam.
