Shri Prasad, That must have been amman pATTu - in Tamil with its own peculiar sing-song and each stanza ending with "SObhanam SObhanam". I feel printed books may be available in Chennai even today, though the younger generations have absolutely forgotten such a thing perhaps. There was another "Periya Amman PATTu" also, very much longer. Women used to collectively sing this spread over the nine Navaratri days during the 1950's and 1960's but even women of my mother's generation had very little interest may be because the records of devotional songs by Soolamangalam sisters and all started invading the culture of tabras, imo.
