Offer your worship at the sacred feet of Mother Bannari!
Rise up, Mother, and dance for us!
Give your sacred word of prophecy so our village may flourish!

the divine creator of every living being!
To the sacred beat of the pambai drums,
you must arrive in a grand procession!
For both Hindus and Muslims,
isn't the lifeblood flowing within them the same?
Aren't Soosai and Vadivelu
children born of the very same mother?
Apply the fragrant sandalwood paste,
adorn your forehead with holy red kumkum,
and pray to Mother Parasakthi,
knowing that all humanity is one!
