Maadhurya Gaanaamrutha Modhineem Madaalashaam Hamsollasineem

Madhyama kala sahitya:
Chidambara pureeshwareem Chitagnikunta Sambhoota Sakaleeshwa Hreem Shreem

Meaning: (TK Govinda Rao’s book)

I (“aham”) reflect (“chintaye”) upon goddess Sivakaameshwari, who brings about (“kareem”) the fulfillment (“sampurna”) of the sentiment of love (“sringaara rasa”).

She fascinates (“priya kareem”) the mind (“mana”) of Sivakameshwara and charms (“vashankareem”) Guruguha; steeped in the bliss of Sivananda (“chidaananda”).

She is serene (“shanta”) and has (“shaaleneem”) auspicious (“kalyana”) qualities (“guna”) and is of the form (“swaroopa”) of Kala. She also transcends (“ateeta”) tranquility (“shanta”). She exults (“modhineem”) in the nectar (“amruta”) of melodious (“madhurya”) music (“gana”). She is intoxicated (“madalashaam”) with the joy and rides (“ullasineem”) on a swan (“hamsa”). She is the presiding deity (“pureeshwareem”) of Chidamdaram and is the goddess (“eshwarim”) of the universe (“sakala”) and is born (“sambhuta”) from the sacrificial (“kunta”) fire (“agni”) of knowledge (“chit”).
