To those who do not praise Her (with all their heart), She

stands aloof from them. But to those who do so as mInAkShi,

nIli, karunAkari and nArAyaNi and such, She, who holds the

five (arrows of) flowers (representing the five tanmAtras),

and who is the "unborn" daugther of the Pandya king and the

sister of nArAyaNa (who is of the colour of a rain bearing

cloud), She makes their worries disappear.

 

My translation is based both on the notes in the text

itself, plus the use of the online tamizh lexicon, and my

knowledge of the language is *very limited*. Corrections

are therefore welcome. I am particularly unhappy with the

first line in the translation for this verse.
