Meaning: (Courtesy: PR Ramachander)

Oh Goddess whose form (“swaroopini”) is beyond (“ateeta”) illusion (“maya”), Please protect (“Brovave”) me (“Nannu”). Oh great (“maha”) beauty (“Sundari”) of Tripura, Oh Gowri, the consort of Shankara (“shankari”) !

In the land (“desha muna”) of Mayamalavagowla, Oh Goddess you are worshipped by Lords (“doralarchinchu muniswari”), by chanting your greatness (“mahima-gala”),

Oh great Goddess (“brahadeeshwari”) who is life like (“prana”) consort (“kantha”) of the enemy (“vairiki”) of God of love (Bodiless one - Kayajuni)

Please show your mercy (“kripa seya valenu”). I am (“ne”) the servant (“dasudaithi”) of the teacher Lord (“swamiki”) Subramanya (“guru guha”)
