Mahalaya -The descent of the God as Mother!

With the blossoming of the white Kans,

bringing coolness to both,

 the wind and the mind,

Oh! Mother, thou descent.

Remarking the semblance,

to us! and to acknowledge

 a sculpturist's art,

So fierce! yet a beauty!

Oh! Mother, thou take the Mortal form!

The sound of the Shell and the Cymbals,

and The Hymn resonating in the ears!

(Ya devi sarvabhuteshu Matri - Rupena Samsthita,

Namas Tasyai, Namas Tasyai, Namas Tasyai Namoha! Namha!)

Oh! goddess! thou who abides in all beings as mother...

Salutations to Thee!, Salutations to Thee!, Salutations to Thee!.....
