 English translation

 

Pallavi

What is this  fuss in the avenue of Chariots,

 It is the celebration of marriage of Devaki,

It is  the marriage between her  and Vasudeva.

 

Anupallavi

The musical sound which makes earth  and heaven shake,

And the sea filled  by this music hits  with its tide,

And  the  divine Vedas chanted by Brahmins,

Who walk with  the chariot will go one  hundred miles.

 

Charanam

Within his mind  Kamsa   has  the  great desire,

That his  sister  is getting married,

And with strength , he would push the chariot  driver,

And held  all the horses firmly  together with the rein,

‘And as soon as he  climbed and caught them,

A voice  from the sky was heard that ,

The eighth born of this  bride  will kill you,

And as soon as he heard  this Kamsa jumped on to the earth.
