Lyrics and meaning

Amba shaambhavee chandramauleer amala aparna uma paarvathi
Kaali haimavathi shiva trinayani kathyaayanee bhairavee |
O Mother Amba, O Shambhavi (wife of Shiva), You are adorned with a crescent moon on forehead, You do not eat even leaves as food in fasting, You are known as Parvati, Kali, Haimavati and Shiva, You have three eyes, and You are known by the names Katyayani and Bhairavi,


Amba mohini devatha tribhuvani ananda sandhyaayini
Vanee pallava paani venu muralee gana priya lolini |
O Mother Amba, O Mohini (having enchanting form), You reside in all the three worlds and grant eternal bliss. You are the speech (Vani), and You like the music and song played by the flute of Krishna,

Amba noopura rathna kankanadharee keyoora haaraavalee
Jaathee champaka vaijayanthi laharee thraiveyakai raanjitha |
O Mother Amba, You are shined with gems, stones and bracelet, You wear a garland made of Keyura, and Your neck is adorned with a wavy garland made of Jasmine, perfumes and pearls,


Veena venu vinodha mandithakaraa veeraa sane samsththithaa
Chidhroopi paradevathaa bhagavathi sri rajarajeshwari
Your hands are adorned with a lute and flute for merriment, You are seated in the Virasana Yoga posture, You are eternal bliss, You are above all, You are the Supreme Goddess, and You rule the Lords as Rajarajeshwari.
