anupallavi: The one who lives among the good Meru mountains, Kamakshi (I seek refuge in you)

caraNam 2: Her face resembles the moon and her neck shines with a necklace of pearls and gems. She is the vine that grants wishes (kalpalatha) to her devotees.

caraNam 3: Oh Syama krishna’s sister, gowri, the wife of Shiva, the daughter of the mountain, the one with dark tresses, one with sweet words, lalitha (I seek refuge in you)
