Mooka Panchashati is a devotional composition by Muka Kavi dedicated to Kamakshi. The real name of the poet is not known. Legend has it that he was born dumb but regained not only his voice  by  the grace of Goddess Kamakshi but also became a poet of considerable merit. Mooka Panchashati  consists of five satakams, each Satakam containing ೧೦೦ verses. The Satakams  are Arya Satakam, Padaravinda Satakam, Stuti Satakam, Kataksha Satakam and Mandasmita Satakam.

Goddess Kamakshi is the presiding deity of Kancheepuram.  Her consort is Ekamreshwara, an aspect of Lord Shiva.  Kanchi is the Central Peetham established by Aadi Shankaracharya who installed and consecrated the  idol of Kamakshi and established the system of worship there. The other  Peethams are at Badrinath in the North, Dwarka in theWest,  Puri in the East and Sringeri (Sringa giri) in the South.

The translation into English of a hymn of this nature is a delicate task and readers may kindly pardon the shortcomings, though every attempt has been made to make the translation as close as possible to the intended or perceived meaning.

O Daughter of Himavan!  the bright whiteness  of your smile, tinged by the bright red colour of your lips, showers auspiciousness on me.  It frequently hangs in the middle of the chest of Shiva,  enemy of Kama,  as a delicate garland made of white jasmine and red hibiscus flowers.

O Kamakshi! though the blossom of your smile shines like the cloud in the sarat (after-rains) season, it is a wonder that  it produces continuous rain of kindness and cools the entire world.  Seeing this, the heart of  Shiva (also peacock) dances with joy .

O Kamakshi!  your smile is like a bright blossom in the caves of the arbour of your glances. It is like the spread of foam in the ocean of effulgence of the face. It acts as silken cloth to cover your rising breasts. May that smile of yours wipe out my impurities.

O Kamakshi!  Comparing your smile with nectar is not at all correct.  If it is correct how is it that Your smile does not suffer the mandara flower, it churns the celestial Ganga, reviles the moon and is jealous of the milky ocean  ( only because all of them radiate bright white rays). These are all characteristics not in consonance with those of nectar.

Let the moon delight the eyes of all, shine brightly, become famous and honoured by Shiva by a place on his matted locks. Alas! what has happened to him.  After seeing the radiance of your smile he bears a dark mark on his face though he is without blemish.

O Kamakshi! your buds of smile are like the seeds for the fame of Kama.  They are the very life of the blissfulness of Shiva.  They are like the beginning of moonlight on the path of the eyes of those who bow to you. They are like a rain of snow on the samsara of lotus flowers  (that is, they destroy the samsara, cycle of births and deaths)

O Kamakshi! I meditate on the radiance of your smile which dispels the darkness of the huge pile of karmas
and the sprouts of which do good to all the three worlds.  Those sprouts of smile enhance the beauty of the face of shishira (winter) as if to negate the skill of moonlight in announcing its enmity to lotus.

O Kamakshi! Daughter of Himavan! May your smiles  which compete with the jasmine flowers do us holistic  good (well-being). Those smiles delight Lord Shiva whose eyes are witness to everything like the spread of extraordinary fumes of camphor delights men

which destroy all ills and which sport in the nectarine waves of kindness.

O Mother! Adornment of Kanchi! Beloved of Shankara !My mind is scorched by the naturally high temperature of the sun of bad deeds and muddied  (by impure thoughts).  It now wants to take a dip in the  nectar of your sweet smile and,  shaking off all its sorrows, wants to climb to the top of the mansion of blissfulness

O Kamakshi ! Daughter of Himavan! Your  smile, cool as nectar, hastens to mitigate the miseries of the celestials who bow down before you by the continuous flow of your compassion. It also announces the blessings on the way and manifests the seeds of happiness.

O Kamakshi! May your beautiful smile, which is the wealth of excitement for Shiva and which is the source of pride for Cupid steal my sins.  O Uma! Shambhu, in order to see your smile, holds your hands and makes you smile with eyes half-closed in shyness by Tandu who revels in the sport of tandava dance.

The path to liberation is generally not easy for the majority of people who are controlled by the knots of karmas. It is cracked only by a few somewhere who possess a courageous heart.  I am a fool and it is impossible for me to see this by my mind.  May the radiance of your smile show me, as a lamp,  the path to liberation

The orb of the moon is pure only by the radiance of the moonlight.  In the spring season the lotus in bloom shines only by swans.  The sky shines only by the signing of cuckoos and by the cluster of stars.  O Kamakshi! your face shines only by those holy smiles of yours.

O Kamakshi ! When you are cross with your consort in love-quarrel,  Rahu suddenly starts tasting the nectar in the full moon of the celebration of love (that is,  when there is a sudden cooling off), Shiva,  who wears the crescent moon on his head, seeing the moonlight of the frequent flashes of smiles on your face, mentally practises  what the chakora bird does ( that is, he drinks the nectar in the rays of the moon, as the chakora bird,  the moon being Kamakshi’s smile ).

O Kamakshi!  Ganesha, desirous of drinking the milk from your breasts, is lying on your lap without any doubts.  When he looks up he sees your bright smile the rays from which look like lotus stems.  Your son Ganesha,  starts pulling at them with his trunk

O Kamakoti! When you were in the embrace of your consort the pressure of it resulted in your necklace of pearls slip from your breasts and fell on the chest of your consort.  The radiance of your smile, like a good friend,  takes the place of the pearl necklace.  O Kamakoti! May that smile of yours play in my heart.

O kamakshi! the radiance of your smile manifests competition with the mandara flower.  It manifests love towards the enemy of Cupid.  It exhibits sprouting of enmity towards moonlight.  O Daughter of Himavan! tell me how those who are pure can have such impure thoughts.

Nectar is being drunk by the celestials.  The milky ocean is churned.  The celestial Ganga is kept captive and shackled in the matted locks of Shiva.  The moon is defeated by darkness.  But O Kamkshi! The blossom of your smile is beyond the capacity of words to describe.

O Consort of Ekamreshwara! I doubt  whether  the company of the incomparable moonlight of your smile does not make the lotus of your breasts look like buds (i.e. closed like the lotus in moonlight) and the lotus of your face, on the other hand,  slowly blossoms into fullness.

O Kamkshi! the radiance of your smile falls frequently on the radiance spread out by the leaf buds of lips.  It manifests passionate love for Shiva, the enemy of Kama.  It decries sandal paste, pearl necklaces and bangles, moonlight and lotus stems. Thus Your smile adopts the characteristics of a virahini,  one who is separated from her husband.

O Kamakshi! the radiance of your smile depicts the moonlight.  It blossoms when you glance at your consort.  it steals the darkness (ignorance) of those who bow down before you. It removes the ills of those who remember you.  It emerges from the lotus face of those whose dullness has be destroyed.

O Shreekamakshi! May the most auspicious sprouts of your smile remove the ignorance which agitates my mind.
Those continuous sprouts of your smile, as it were, become  a necklace of pearls on your breasts which compete with the bulges on the forehead of Ganesha.

O Kamakshi!  the cluster of rays from your smile floating like the clouds in sharat and prompted by the winds of love dive slowly into the sea of radiance of the neck of the enemy of Kama.  In this process they become dark and competing with dark blue clouds they make those clouds sleepless.
