Pallavi

 

Unnai allal  gathi yenakku undo  solvai,

Niye arulvai parama krupanidhi

 

Anupallavi

 

Kanaikkadal choozh ulagam tanile ,

Kanda iha para sukham  tandu yennai alave.

 

Charanam

 

Amma yenakku arul yen appa enave cholliyume,

Kunjara dasanume unai adainthen ,

Kai mel palan  arul deivame ,

Tunai cheythu arul ,

Brahma indirarukku ariyava.

 

English translation

 

Pallavi

Tell me whether I have any other course except you,

Please tell, Oh greatest treasure of mercy.

 

Anupallavi

 

In this world surrounded by sea,

To rule me by giving all pleasures,

That I see and which are going to come.

 

Charanam

 

This Kunjara dasa attained you by saying,

Mother, shower your grace on me, my father.

Please give me immediate result,
oh God who is rare even to Brahma and Indra.
