Translated By P.R.RamachanderA lamp is lighted before the deity in temples and homes. In South Indian homes, the lamp itself is also worshipped as God.
Lamp, holy lamp, who is the sibling of the king,
Lamp which has flame, Goddess Lakshmi, Golden darling,
Lamp of the night, The decorated Goddess,
Lamp that is bright, mother Kamakshi,
I have kept a lamp made of gold, put a wick made of cotton,
Poured oil like a pond and lit it along with a rangoli.
The sanctum sanctorum and the Mandap are in Rath (Ther in Tamil) shape. 10 day festival for Appar-Tirunavukkarasar is very devotionally celebrated in April-May. 10 day Vaikasi (May-June) Visakam Brahmmotsavam includes car festival and Tripura Samhara.

I lit a ghee lamp, so that my family will prosper,
I kept a holy lamp so that my home will prosper,
I became happy on seeing you in my house,
As the mother with light.
Mother give alms of long life to my husband and children,
Mother along with Children give me also wealth,
Mother give me jewels that would fill up a box.
Mother give me milking cows to fill up my garden,
Mother please give me horses to fill the stables,
Mother give me a famous body, Mother stand near me,
And mother all the twenty four hours stand near me,
Namaskaram
I saluted her by bowing at her feet and saw the form of the Goddess,
I saw her diamond crown, I saw her body shining like cat’s eye gem,
I saw in her lotus like face, the thilaka of musk,
I saw her bangles making sound and also shine,
I saw her gold waist along with belt shining with light,
I saw anklets in her leg, I saw peacock feathers decorating her feet,
I saw the goddess of goodness so that my mind is filled with joy,
Oh Mother, Oh great help, be near me and protect me,
Remove the bad fate coming to me and give me great luck,
I told that I am surrendering at your feet, mother,
Oh mother, I bow at your lotus like feet.
After reading this one has to prostrate 16 times, Then we should ask the boons that we want from Deepalakshmi (The goddess Lakshmi who is the lamp) again and again.
Oh Goddess who is a giver of all good things, who is peaceful,
Who is a giver of all wealth, who can be relied upon,
Who has three eyes and who is golden in colour,
Our salutations to you, Narayani
