Lyrics
Pallavi
jambū patē māṃ pāhi nijānandāmṛta bōdhaṃ dēhi
Anupallavi
ambujāsanādi sakala dēva namana
tumburu nuta hṛdaya tāpōpaśamana
ambudhi gangā kāvērī yamunā
kambu kaṇṭhyakhilāṇḍēśvarī ramaṇa
Charanam
parvatajā prārthitāblinga vibhō
panca bhūta-maya prapanca prabhō
sarva jīva dayā-kara śambhō
sāmajāṭavī nilaya svayambhō
śarva karuṇā sudhā sindhō
śaraṇāgata vatsalārta bandhō
anirvacanīya nāda bindō
nitya mauḷi vidhṛta gangēndō
Charanam — Madhyama Kala lyrics
nirvikalpaka samādhi niṣṭha śiva kalpaka tarō
nirviśēṣa caitanya niranjana guru guha gurō
Meaning
The singer asks Jambukeshwara for protection and liberating self-knowledge. Rivers and the ocean evoke the water element, while the charanam describes Shiva's compassion for every living being and his closeness to those seeking refuge. Akhilandeshwari is addressed through her relationship with him.
