She was born alongside the southern breeze,
The daughter of pure Tamil.
In the temple city of southern Madurai,
She nurtured the Sangam (ancient Tamil literary assembly).
Taking residence in Thanjavur,
She brought blessings and prosperity.
Spreading her fame across the whole world,
She arrived as a mother,
She arrived as Mother Tamil.

The daughter of pure Tamil.

Tolkappiyam (ancient grammar text) rests upon her crown,
The musical anklets (Silappathikaram epic) sing at her holy feet.
Her pearl necklace is the Ettuthogai (Eight Anthologies),
And the royal scepter with which he rules
Is the Kural, the sacred Tirukkural.

The literature created by all the poets
Are the bridal gifts adorning her golden form.
For the smile blooming on the lips of this goddess of arts,
What price could there be? Bowing our heads,
Let us worship her, let us worship her...
