Devi Kanthimathi

'Nellaiappa, bless me with thy consort'
The Lord but showed me a way to resort
I now move on to a vestibule adjacent
My heart for Devi squalling out

Discern the divine voltage of that circuit
Anxious my vision tries its ken out
Soon censed with ambrosial Aippasi-wedding eclat
I see the Goddess with Her consort

Astounded, my soul butts my heart
Spate of memoirs reverberates my thought
'Ablutionary Thamiraparani surging at the Lord's feet
Marriage of Venuvananathar, Agasthya to ruminate..'

Wonderful Kanthimathi's radiant fit
Beckoned Shiva no wonder to spirit
Causal Her name, Kanthimathi magnetisig brilliant
Bewitching everyone Her cognizant might

Ecstatic soul adjures to entreat
Extolling tangibly Kanthimathi refulgent
Availing such a holy moment
A train of pleas purges out

'Devi, wailing in darkness my life nescient
In need for a quest to recuperate
Empty brain ingrained only woeful dirt
Deterge with thine mercy to right
Detain thyself with me throughout
Watchful then to vanquish mine conceit
Harken Kanthimathi, order thine heart
And this instance thee in sweet content
May thine Lord too be attendant '
