Sri Meenakshi Pancharathna Sthothram – Lyrics and meanings

|| Jai Sriman Narayana ||

I shall prostrate before Goddess Meenakshi who has the brilliance of numerous Adithyas, she is decked in various ornaments like Haram and Keyooram etc…she has beautiful smile on her face which reveals marvelous line of teeth, she is attired in majestic yellow silk garment, her lotus feet is worshiped by Lord Bhrama , Lord Vishnu and Lord Indra, she is the consort of Lord Shiva/Shivaa and Thathvaswaroopini as well. I shall earnestly pray to Goddess Meenakshi to shower her merciful gaze on us. I shall prostrate before Goddess SriMeenakshi, who is decked in pearl and various precious ornaments, her lotus face has the luster of full moon, she is decorated with magnificent crown, she is decked in marvelous gem studded anklets which makes jingling noises, she shines in the middle of fresh alluring flowers, she fulfils all the desires of her passionate devotees, she is the daughter of Mount Himavan, she is worshiped by Goddess Sri Saraswathi and Goddess Sri Maha Lakshmi. I shall earnestly pray to Goddess Sri Meenakshi to shower her merciful gaze on us. I shall prostrate before Goddess Sri Meenakshi, who is the symbol of Srividhyaswaroopini, she has secured the left half of the body of Lord Shiva/Shivavamabhaga, she is the essence of sacred hymns of ‘Hreemkara’, she dwells in the middle of the divine Sri Chakra, she is the prominent deity in the Srimathsabha, she is the mother of Lord Subramanya and Lord Ganesha, she is Jagathmohini who entice the whole Universe, I shall earnestly pray to Goddess Sri Meenakshi to shower her merciful gaze on us. I shall prostrate before Goddess Sri Meenakshi, who is the consort of Lord Sundareshwara, she destroys the fears of her passionate devotees, she provides supreme wisdom and knowledge to her devotees, she is unblemished, she has the complexion of dark clouds, she is worshiped by Lord Bhrama/Kamalasana, she is the sister of Lord Narayana, she takes immense pleasure in the divine instruments like Veena, flute/Venu, Mridangam/percussions, she is the mother of the Universe, I shall earnestly pray to Goddess Sri Meenakshi to shower her merciful gaze on us. I shall prostrate before Goddess Sri Meenakshi who is worshiped by Yogis and Rishis and dwells in their hearts, she is the provider of various Siddhis, her lotus feet is venerated with various fresh alluring flowers, she is worshiped by Lord Narayana, she is the essence of Nadhabhramam, she is the beyond description and she is the symbol of various philosophies, I shall earnestly pray to Goddess Meenakshi to shower her merciful gaze on us.
