O Goddess, the divine blessing of music,
beauty itself is your form!
O Goddess, the divine blessing of music,
beauty itself is your form!
The wisdom taught by the four Vedas,
grant it to me, O jeweled throne of grace!
O Goddess, the divine blessing of music,
beauty itself is your form!
The bright morning hall is the lovely Mother's shrine,
the bright morning hall is the lovely Mother's shrine,
With sacred baths and prayers offered every single day,
she teaches joyful, loving grace!
O Goddess, the divine blessing of music,
beauty itself is your form!
Hair like rain-bearing clouds,
a forehead clear as a portrait,
a forehead mark glowing like the moon,
eyebrows arched like a rainbow,
eyes like water lily blossoms,
lips red as sindoor (sacred red powder),
a neck graceful like a Shivalinga,
arms swaying like waves of gentle breeze,
She arose and moved gently,
as a thousand lightning bolts flashed!
She stepped forward, paused, and smiled,
as victory drums resounded loud!
She looked with compassion and wiped away all troubles,
as lush green groves swayed with joy!
She blossomed with beads of sweat on her face,
making the silver snow mountain melt!
With glittering bangles ringing and flashing beams of light,
with the rhythm of pambai drums echoing loud,
with the grand beats of the thavil drum swelling,
with vibrant dance rhythms coming alive,
she danced, she danced,
the Divine Mother danced, she danced!
O Goddess, the divine blessing of music,
beauty itself is your form!

Upamai (Simile)

“Neer mugil pol koondhal”

Compares various features of the Goddess to elements of nature using the word 'pol' (like), such as 'Neer mugil pol koondhal' (hair like rain clouds) and 'Vaanavil pol puruvam' (eyebrows like a rainbow).

Santhai / Onomatopoeia

“Kanakana kangana kadhoroli parakka”

Uses rhythmic beat-words (Kanakana, Pana pana, Thana thana) to imitate the sounds of temple instruments like bangles, pambai, and thavil during divine dance.

Uyarvu Navortchi (Hyperbole)

“Poothaal mugam verthaal Velli pani malai uruga”

Exaggerates the cosmic impact of her divine motion and sweat, suggesting that even the icy silver mountains melted upon seeing her.
