(Stotra taken from “Ambal stotrangal” published by Rathnagireswarar temple, Chennai)
1.Devi Kanyakumari, Parasakthi, Devi Kanyakumari,
Thaavi varuguthamma yen nenjam,
Un thalinai naduthamma,
Jnalamelam eendra,
Kanniyendra nyayam uraikuthamma,
Jnayiru thingalellam nin thiru,
Jnana vadivin oli parka vandhu yennai Devi nee,
Pakkathil Vaavendru,
Nee partha parvayile yen nenjam,
Paakai urukiththamma.
1,Oh Goddess Kanyakumari, Oh Divine power, Oh Goddess Kanyakumari,
My heart is jumping and coming with a desire for your feet,
It tells me the justice of calling you a virgin who gave birth to the entire world,
When I came on Sunday and Monday to see the luster of your form of wisdom,
My heart melted when you looked at me asking me to come near you.
2.Neela kadal oram kanni thai,
Ninnai kanda pinnar,
Nana vidha ulagil yen kangal,
Ninnaye naduthamma,
Parkkum idam thorum,
Nin mukha punchirippu ullathamma,
Yaarkkum ini anja vendaam,
Ulagill yellaam unathu mayam.
- After seeing you the virgin mother on the banks of the blue ocean,
In this world of different types, my eyes are only seeking you,
In all the places that I see, I am seeing the smile from your face,
There is now no need to fear anybody as all the people on earth are your illusions.
3.Dekam punithamaka devi unnai,
Thedi alainthene,
Mohathai otti vittai,
Ini ahambhavam thulainthathamma,
Kamathaal aaLapetha,
Yen jeevan kasadathatha thayithamma,
Maranam yenakillayendre,
Manam magizhnudu kuthikkuthamma.
3.I wandered searching for you to purify my body,
You have driven out passion from me,
And now my pride has been lost,
My life which was ruled by passion has become without stain,
My mind is pleased and jumping thinking that I do not have death.
4.Durgunam yendra maayaa,
Ulagai thooyathaai kaana vaithai,
Nirgunam aakki vittai,
Yendrendrum neeyaagave iruppai ,
Om Sakthi, Om Sakthi om,
Parasakthi ananda sakthimaye,
Om Sakthi, Om sakthi om,
Annaye annai Kanyakumari.
5.You made me see the illusory world of evil habits in to pure one,
You made without any properties, and you would always and always be yourself,
Om Sakthi, Om Sakthi Om , Oh Divine power pervaded with power of joy,
Om Sakthi Om, Om Sakthi Om Oh mother Oh mother Kanyakumari.
