Lyrics

Pallavi

birāna varālicci brōvumu ninnu nera nammiti

Anupallavi

purāri manōhāriṇī śrī kāmākṣi

Charanam 1

tāmasambu sēyaka nīvu karuṇānidhi gāvā
parāmukhamika nēla vinu sarōjamukhi

Charanam 2

kāmitārtha phaladāyakī dēvī nata kalpalatikā
purāṇi madhura vāṇi śivuniki rāṇi

Charanam 3

śyāmakṛṣṇa sōdari gaurī paramēśvari
girijā anātha rakṣaṇambu salupaga rāvē

Meaning

The singer affirms complete trust in Kamakshi and asks why her help is delayed. Each charanam returns to her compassion: she fulfils wishes, speaks sweetly and protects those with no other support. The final verse addresses her as Gauri, Girija and the sister of Shyama Krishna.
