Abhyaambaam Bhaktim

I offer devotion unto abhayAmbA
(unto her) who is of the form of sat cit Ananda1 and
(unto her) who is also of the form of the self2.

anupallavi:

who is mantriNi, adept in bestowing plenty of riches;
who is daNDini, who gives the skill for obtaining victory;
who is mAlini, of the form of five elements, beginning with the sky / One who wears a splendrous garland that shines like the rays of the five elements beginning with the sky
who is shUlini, the one adept in removing attachment to pseudo-objects3
who is understood through one-ness, free from distinctions4
who is realised by the primal guru Subrahmanya
whose dance pleases Lord shiva, the Lord of the sabha5
whose feet bestows that stage of salvation of being one with herself to her devotees6.
