Meaning:
One who restored cupid by a mere glance! One whose eyes are like
lotus petals! Dear friend of Lakshmi! Most beautiful in the three
worlds! Possessing a majestic gait akin to an elephant! Possessing
feet which are bejeweled with bells! Protect me O parrot that resides
in the cage called Shiva! Lotus faced mother of Subrahmanya!
Unblemished one! Destroyer of affliction! Possessing a face akin to
an autumnal full moon! Possessing lovely teeth! Protector of Cupid!
Residing in a pavilion of gems! Enshrined in Kanchi (Alternative
sAhitya of shri kAncana vasanE- wearing golden raiment)! Possessing a
good voice! Possessing a gentle, lovely smile! Embodied as one
syllable and in many syllables! Queen of the universe! Effulgent
stream of that nectar that is the one and only bliss! Giver of
liberation to those who meditate with no other thought! Creator of
wealth! Queen of Lord Ekamreshvara's household! Creator of all that
is auspicious!
Notes:This kriti is on Goddess Kamakshi at Kanchipuram. The raga name
Manohari is in the pallavi. The raga is now called Kamala Manohari
thanks to this kriti. In this kriti, Goddess Kamakshi is referred to
as Lakshmi's friend. In keeping with this, the Goddess is praised as
wearing raiment of gold, residing in a pavilion of gems, giver of
wealth, protector of cupid and is compared to the lotus in many
places. Compare this with the kriti Sarasvati manOhari in the raga of
that name on the same Goddess by Muttuswami Dikshitar, where many
terms appropriate to Sarasvati are used. The lines describing the
Goddess as the parrot in the cage called Shiva, signify that she is
the supreme being on whom even Shiva meditates.
