Anupallavi:

Ibharaaja Gatyaahah Ishvaryaahah Jagatyaahah Nabhomanigatyaahah Naada Laya Gatyaahah


Charanam :

Baalaadi Naamadheya Prakaashinyaa Kaadi Tatvaanta Prakaashinyaahah

Moolaadi Dvaadashaanta Prakaashinyaahah Sthoolaadi Maunaanta Prakaashinyaahah
Trailokya Moolaprakrtyaahah Svashaktyaahah Saaloka Saamipya Saaroopya Muktayaahah
Maalinee Mantramaalaadi Tantroktyaahah Shoolini Guruguha Svaanubhava Gatyaahah

 

Meaning: (www.sangeetham.com)

I know (“jaane”) of none other (“na”) than Abhayambika!

She removes ignorance (“aparoksha”) and is knowledge (“jnane”) personified (“anantatmane”)!

 

Her gait (“gatyaahah”) is like the King (“raja”) of Elephants (“ibha”) ! She is the supreme Goddess (“ishvaryaahah”) of this Universe (“jagatyaahah”)! She causes the sun (“nabhomani”) to shine (“gatyaahah”)! She embodies (“gatyaahah”) sound (“nada”) and beat (“laya”)!

 

She shines (“prakaashinyaahah”) forth in various manifestations (“naamadheya”) like Bala!

She is radiant (“prakaashinyaahah”) as the Kaadi method of Tantra (“tatvaanta”) worship!

She radiates (“prakaashinyaahah”) from the twelve (“dvadasha”) nerve centres (“anta”) beginning with Mula (“moolaadi”)!

 She manifests (“prakaashinyaahah”) progressively from the gross (“sthoolaadi”) to the esoteric (“maunaanta”)!

She is the creator (“svashaktyaahah”) and the energy (“moolaprakrutyaahah”) behind the three (“thrai”) worlds (“lokya”)!

She provides the four stages of liberation (“muktyaahah”) namely - Saloka, Sarupa, Samipya and Sayujya!

She is the essence of the hymns (“tantroktyaahah”) such as the Malini!

She is Shulini! She is experienced (“svaanubhava gatyaahah”) by Subrahmanya!

Notes:

This is one of the Abhayamba Vibhakti kritis and is on the Goddess at Mayuram. The raga was the 28th melakarta as per the asampoorna scheme.
