Pon magalae un porumai Boomikkae porukkallaiyo
Poovirunthum pottirunthum Mounamthaan un nilaiyo
Engirunthu unakkazhaippu Eppadiththan vanthu vidum
Engalidamirunthu unnai Entha dheivam piriththu vidum
Mukkanigal saernthirukka thattaaga irunthaayae
Moondru nadhi kalanthirukka kadalaaga amainthaayae

Dheivaththin vaasalilae neeyoru dheepam amma

Dharaniyilae pengalellam Thaayaavathillaiyammaa
Thaayagum pengalellam Neeyaavathillaiyamma
Kudumbam ennum koyilgal Aayiram aayiaram
Kulamagal yaavarum ovvoru goburam Naarpuram oongiya goburangal
Naduvil thanga Goburam Nallavaragal maththiyilae nee thanga gopuram
Nee thanga gopuramnee thanga gopuram
Song Meaning & Analysis
This song is a profound tribute to a woman, likely a mother figure, extolling her virtues of patience, sacrifice, and unifying strength. The lyrics paint her as a central, foundational presence, capable of bringing disparate elements together and encompassing them, much like a plate holds fruits or an ocean contains rivers. She is elevated to a divine status, being the 'kalasam' at the peak of sacrifice and a 'lamp' at the threshold of godliness, symbolizing her purity and guiding light.
The song further emphasizes her unique and irreplaceable role by stating that while many women become mothers, none can compare to her. She is portrayed as the 'golden gopuram' (temple tower) amidst countless family temples and virtuous women, signifying her unparalleled importance, sanctity, and central position within her community and family. The repeated emphasis on her being the 'Thanga Gopuram' (Golden Tower) highlights her preciousness and enduring legacy.
