മായേ മംഗളശീലേ ജയ ജയ

തായേ ശുംഭ നിശുംഭ അസുരരേ

മായാ മോഹന രൂപമതായൊരു

കായം തന്നിൽ മുടിച്ചൊരു ഭദ്രേ |

പോരാടിടിനാ മഹിഷാസുരനെ

വേരറവിനു അരുളിന  ഭദ്രേ

പാരാതേ തവ പാദസരോജാ

നേരെ മമ ഹൃദി തോന്നിടേണം ||

Maaye mangalasheele jaya jaya

Thaaye shumbha nishumbha asurare

Maayaa mohana roopamathaayoru

Kaayam thannil mudicchoru bhadhre

Poraadideenaa mahishaasurane

Veraravinu arulina bhadhre

Paaraathe thava paadhasarojaa

Nere mama hridi thonneedanam

Summary :  This devotional hymn is an earnest supplication dedicated to Goddess Bhadrakali (invoked as Maya, Thaaye, and Bhadre), celebrating Her cosmic victories and protective maternal grace. The verses extol the Mother as the virtuous source of all auspiciousness who assumed an enchanting, illusory form to vanquish the fierce demon brothers Shumbha and Nishumbha. Praising Her martial valor in battling the formidable demon Mahishasura and completely uprooting his demonic lineage, the hymn venerates Her supreme power to destroy evil. The song culminates in a heartfelt prayer of personal surrender, beseeching the Divine Mother to manifest Her sacred lotus feet directly and without hesitation within the devotee’s heart.

മായേ മംഗളശീലേ ജയ ജയ (Maaye mangalasheele jaya jaya) Glory to You, O embodiment of divine Maya, who possesses an all-auspicious nature!

തായേ ശുംഭ നിശുംഭ അസുരരേ (Thaaye shumbha nishumbha asurare) O Divine Mother, to the ferocious demons Shumbha and Nishumbha,

മായാ മോഹന രൂപമതായൊരു (Maayaa mohana roopamathaayoru) assuming an enchantingly beautiful and illusory divine manifestation,

കായം തന്നിൽ മുടിച്ചൊരു ഭദ്രേ (Kaayam thannil mudicchoru bhadhre) O Goddess Bhadra, You who destroyed them through Your divine form!

പോരാടിടിനാ മഹിഷാസുരനെ (Poraadideenaa mahishaasurane) Battling fiercely against the formidable demon Mahishasura,

വേരറവിനു അരുളിന ഭദ്രേ (Veraravinu arulina bhadhre) O Goddess Bhadra, You who completely uprooted and eradicated his demonic forces!

പാരാതേ തവ പാദസരോജാ (Paaraathe thava paadhasarojaa) Without any delay or hesitation, may Your holy lotus feet

നേരെ മമ ഹൃദി തോന്നിടേണം (Nere mama hridi thonneedanam) manifest and radiate directly within my heart!
