Innavum sandeha padalamo Isha

 

Anupallavi

 

Ponnambalam thannil thandavam aadiya,

POn kazhalai  ninavil ,

Vaikka theridhu naan

 

Charanam

 

Annamayamenum kosham  thannile ,

Andhanar mudal pulavar binnam arave thonudhe,

Anri bhedamondrum  kanen,

Thannai arigindra thavame peridhendru daraniyil,

Gopala Krishnan sonnadellam marandu,

Maya chuzhilyile vizhundu  uzhandru,

Kavizhnda niyai Shiva shiva nee.

 

English translation

 

Pallavi

 

Oh God, should I suspect you even now

 

Anupallavi

 

Having known that you danced in the golden temple,

And with the memory of your golden anklets, in me,

Should I suspect you even now?

 

Charanam

 

In the Annamaya Kosha, I am seeing,

Differences between a Brahmin and lower caste,

But I do not find difference any where else,

Forgetting that Gopalakrishna told,

That the prayer of knowing oneself is the greatest,

And falling in the whirlpool of illusion,

And falling down, Oh Lord Shiva,

Should I suspect you even now?
