Kancha Dalayatakshi Kamakshi

Partial translation of the famous krti Kancha dalayatakshi by Muthuswami Dikshitar

Kancha Dalaayataakshi Kaamakshi
Kamalaa Manohari Tripura Sundari

O Kamakshi, with eyes shaped like lotus petals full
O most beauteous of three worlds, Kamala*s delightful

Kunjara Gamane 
Manimanditha Manjula Charane


Your gait, having an elephant's ponderous majesty
With feet, adorned by jewelry gem studded, full of beauty

Maamava Shiva Panchara Sukhi Pankajamukhi
Guruguha Ranjani Duritha Bhanjani Niranjani 

She is verily like Siva, a parrot in (heart's) cage (refers to our atma in hrd chakra)
Blooming lotus like radiance
With mystical lore dalliance
Darkness removing brilliance.
Of spotless pure salience
