English Translation

Pallavi

 

Why this delay in showing mercy, Krishna,

I am saluting at your feet.

 

Anupallavi

 

Granting boons to those who surrender to you,

You are the God, who destroys all sufferings,

And stand in the temple at Guruvayur.

 

Charanam

 

1. The pretty feet that is petted by the daughter of the sea,

Which even if it is meditated from a distance,

Or is served from a place near it,

Makes no difference whatsoever,

To the God who fills the entire universe,

 

2. Learnt I, from your exploits as told by the great sages that,

Support for the men caught in the terrible tide of the sea of life,

Is only Hari the god who is like the emerald gem.

 

3.Oh Cupid of the earth,  I think you in my heart  as the pretty one,

Who adorns his hair with the feather of peacocks,

Who has  a smiling face with mercy tinged glances,

Whose chest is adorned with garland of Kousthubha and forest flowers,

And whose feet are adorned  with golden anklets.

 

4.Oh God who created the universe and looks after it,

As God Padmanabha who resides in Guruvayoor,

Without delay Mix love along with pity,

And remove the disease of rheumatism,

And bless me  with good health and wealth.
