Meaning: by P.T. Rajalakshmi
Oh MOther ! The destroyer of Mahishasura, always protect me. Your face is lovely like the disc of the moon. Your glances shower boons on those who serve you.

You are the honey bee hovering the lotus face of Shiva. Your story is sung by a host of Rishis like Narada. you are worshipped by Brahma and the host of celestrals. Your locks shine with the crescent moon and your pair of feet are like lotuses.

Your body is shining like gold. Your eyes put to shame the pride of lotus petals. your soft sunile bewitch the heart of Rishis. You are the Kalpaka tree to those who worship you. Oh the daughter of mountains! Oh sister of Padmanabha! Give the happiness. you are engaged in removing the sorrows of the samsara.your hair is lovely like fresh cloud. you have the glory like an expert in destroying the wicked demons.

[Braandan]

superb song, I keep singing it mentally when I go on long train journeys..

[V.Annasamy]

The song starts on the vital and jeeva swara of kaanadA, very attractive.

On the raag itself... that flat 'Ri" followed by shakable GA... and feather touch of M1...stimulates the mood. Using Ri Paa (jaru) one can reap many good feeldings.

kaanadAvin suvaiyai kaanadAvilum (CanadAvilum) kaaNalAm.
