Meaning: pallavi, anupallavi: O mother! Why do you still doubt my taking refuge in you with implicit faith? O sister of shri Krishna! O mother of the entire world! O substratum of the devaganas! O Parvati!

caraNam 1: O all pervasive! O pet daughter of Himavan! Unable to bear anymore, I seek refuge in you alone.

caraNam 2: O courageous battling with demons! One with majesty resembling the ocean! One with soft voice, rivalling the cuckoo. Unable to bear the sorrow, when I take refuge in you, why do you doubt?

caraNam 3: O bestower of harmony! Gauri! O axe, that fells the jungle of wrong actions! One who rambles about in the flawless heart of Tyagaraja! O dharmasamvardhini! Omkari!
