Some of the wonderful Thallattu songs (Sweet songs in praise of the almighty sung during night time) in praise of Ma Durga Devi are as follows:-
Jaya Jaya Devi Jaya Jaya Devi Durga Devi Saranam Kanaka Durga Devi Saranam, Iswarya Durga Devi Saranam, Arpuda Durga Devi Saranam.
Oh Ma Devi Durga, after killing several demons in the battle field, you have become so tired. I am your devotee and I have brought wonderful bed with pillows for your comfortable sleep. Please accept it, and sleep well, or otherwise I would get very much worried.
Oh my Dear Mother Durga, even during night time, you look very beautiful, like the freshly blossomed rose flowers. You are the merciful goddess, who showers abundant grace on us. Oh Ma, now it is the perfect time for you to sleep. If you find it difficult to sleep in the bed, you can sleep under my lap, so that I would get the everlasting spiritual bliss in my life.
Oh my Dear Mother Durga, your golden ornaments glitters like the sun, your face appears like the full moon, your divine smile steals our hearts, and you are the perfect match for Lord Shiva. I have surrendered under your lotus feet. Please visit my home, and after having sufficient night dinner, you can sleep at our place. My entire things belong to you only. Oh Ma, please accept my prayers, and now it’s the correct time for you to sleep.
Oh my Dear Mother Durga, though I am an ordinary man, yet I worship you sincerely, and I kept great faith on you. I always consider you as my divine mother. Oh Ma. I have visited your temple, and I found that you have not yet slept. Why you are doing like this? You would feel very much tired if you didn’t sleep during the night. Oh Ma, please accept my prayers, and now it’s the correct time for you to sleep.
Oh my Dear Mother Durga, the temple bells have already rang. The temple doors are closed, and the priests have gone home. But due to my selfless devotion, I have hidden at your temple shrine, and now, I am able to see your beautiful face in the light, without any hindrance. No crowd. No push. Only we two are here. I don’t know what to do. I am going to compel you to sleep, by singing wonderful songs on you. Oh Ma, please accept my prayers, and now it’s the correct time for you to sleep.
Oh my Dear Mother Durga, you are very generous to your devotees in offering food, and that’s why you have been popularly called as “ANNADURGA”. You have already rendered sufficient blessings to your devotees during the day time. Oh Devi Ma, if at all you avoid sleep in night, then I would complain about the situation to your consort Lord Shiva. Just listen to my words, and act accordingly. Oh Ma, please accept my prayers, and now it’s the correct time for you to sleep.
Oh my Dear Mother Durga, the holy Navratri festival is fast approaching. So be prepared for that. I have bought a wonderful sari for you in order to adorn it to you on the auspicious “VIJAYADASAMI” festival day, and also I would prepare your favourite ghee sweets from my own hands, and would offer it to you. Oh Ma, please accept my prayers, and now it’s the correct time for you to sleep.
Oh my Dear Mother Durga, even after doing lot of pujas, why your devotees keep on suffering in their lives? Is there is any specific reason for that? Being the universal mother, it’s your duty to remove their tears, and give some sort of solutions for their problems. Please act fast. Oh Ma, please accept my prayers, and now it’s the correct time for you to sleep.
