3.Inspite of coming before you seeking protection and after relating to you

e?

4.Bhoomiyil pillayayai piranthum valarnthum naan peraana sthalamum ariyen,
Periyorkal darisinam oru naalum naan poththi kondaadi ariyen,
Vaamiyendre , shiva kamiyendre unnai cholli vayinaal padi ariyen,
Matha pithavinathu padathai vanangi oru naalume ariyen,
Sami yendre yenni chathurarudan kai koopi charanangal cheithum ariyen ,
Sath guruvin padharavindhangalai kandu sashtanga thendan ariyen,
AAmintha bhumiyil adiyenai pol moodan aachi nee kandathundo?
azhaghaana kaanchiyil pughazhaagha vaazhndhidum ammai kamakshi umaiyae..
5.Thinking that you are my mother , I believed you greatly and had great lo
ve to you, Oh mother,
Without understaning that you are an imposter, I forgot your husband,
Being a devotee and watching your great indifference to me ,
Being a boy how can I be without sorrow and with balanced mind,
This type of cheating should not be there , should not be there , this is not
dharma mother ,
Don t you have any plans to protect me , is it justice mother ,
Did you forget this son due to your affection to your elephant faced son , P
lease tell me that mother, Oh mother Kamakshi who is Uma who famously
lives in the pretty Kanchi.

Does not even a ghost bring up with love the child born to it ,
By the breathless shouting of my sorrowful voice , even a stone would mel
t,
Does not even one eighth portion of a mustard of my voice enter your ears
,
Why are you simply not leaving all your complaints which do not exist ,
It is not dharma for us both to catch each others lap and fall in the str

And by that all people would only find fault with you , This is not just, O
h mother,
Oh mother Kamakshi who is Uma who famously lives in the pretty Kanchi.

Oh mother pardon what has been done by this poor person , shower your grace an
d remove my worries ,
These are not the signs , there is no victory oh mother , I am feeling little
shy
Please keep your thoughts on me Oh Kamakshi who is Shiva Sakthi and grant me
luck,
Please ride on a swan and joyfully come and stand before this slave ,
Oh mother Kamakshi who is Uma who famously lives in the pretty Kanchi.
9.When people who have taken birth in this world like me are happily living,
Is it due to the great sin , Oh mother that I am suffering in this great pove
rty,
With your feet as witness I firmly believed that you are my protection ,
Except you I do not see any one to protect me in this world,
Without saying later remove my poverty and protect me so that the world will
appreciate,
Please protect me like the boy , markandeya ,
And atleast now , Oh mother please do not keep on delaying to protect me,
Oh mother Kamakshi who is Uma who famously lives in the pretty Kanchi.
10. For protecting me with grace till I live in this world,
For blessing the boys who daily see your feet with devotion,
For small sickness and evil spirits not approaching this pretty body,
For giving this luck to the red person and live along with victory,
And for preventing me from following the famous god of death , please prot
ect me Oh mother,
Please pardon the mistakes in the poem composed by this inferior person and
protect him,
As you are the consort of Ekambara who heaped river sand and did the rare wo
rship,
Oh mother Kamakshi who is Uma who famously lives in the pretty Kanchi.
11,Oh mother I do not know how many births I have taken in this earth,
At least now take mercy on me and protect me by not making me take another b
irth,
On all the three times of the day I saluted you for getting salvation and had
I not believed three fourths in you ?
Oh mother you should not keep on blinking like a person who is a stranger .
Possibly the pure God Shiva would find fault with the wealth that you are g
oing to give me ,
After hearing with desire these eleven verses which I recited with devotion t
owards you,
Please come out from the half part of that God Shiva and fulfill my great
desires,
Oh mother Kamakshi who is Uma who famously lives in the pretty Kanchi.
