English

Oh Shive, Bhavani, you charm the nectar-like bliss. You cause the rain, and are worshipped by Shiva and others.

You protect Manmatha and others, and are the mother of prosperous Guruguha. You are of the form of knowledge, and dwell in the hearts of those steeped in bliss. You are the compassionate one. I meditate on you always, to shower heavy rain at once. Please send rain more and more abundantly.


Note: Manmatha was substituted for Vishnu in the translation of the charanam on the advice of J.P. Char & V. Govindan - 24/2/2015
