MEANING
Oh Goddess lalitA!
the one seated on the lion throne (siMhAsana), the dazzling one, the
one worshiped by the handsome guruguha; I, who is cidAnandanAtha,
bow down to thee, bow down to thee, whose two feet are
worshiped by brahma and various other celestials; who is Goddess
bagaLA, worshiped by parashurAma, and other distinguished devotees.
The auspicious one,
saluted by the Lord of kamala (ViSNu), and extolled by the
poets, who grants auspiciousness to the host of devatas like mantriNI
and daNDinI, who surround you. The eternally auspicious
one, (nitya ma"ngaLA) , worshiped by hayagrIva, agastya
(born out of a pot), and others; the astoundingly auspicious one, who bestows
ever newer and newer kinds of auspiciousness. (I bow down to Thee).

All these four rAgams are very
auspicious, usually appearing as ma"ngaLa rAgams, in the
concluding part of any concert. The rAgamAlikA is appropriately called
"ma"ngaLa rAgamAlikA". DikSitar often refers himself as "cidAnandanAtha",
the name given to him by his spiritual guru, cidAnandanAtha yOgi,
who took him to kAshi, and initiated him to the shrIvidya
(auspicious wisdom). In the popular "mAyAmALavagauLa" composition, "shrInAthAdi
guruguhO jayati", he states -- "cidAnadanAthOham". There is no rAgamudra featured in this
composition. The guruguha mudra finds its place in the opening line
itself. SubbarAma DikSitar has
not given this song in his book, "SamgIta sampradAya pradarshini".
