English Translation

 

Pallavi

 

My salutations and Salutations to Narayana,

My salutations and salutations to one worshipped by Narada.

 

Charanam

 

1. Salutations to him with a body of beast and man,

Who killed Mura, Who is the Mukunda Madhava,

Who destroyed the sorrow arising out of birth,

Who rides on Garuda , Who has lotus on his belly,

Who is the divine male and who frees us from ties of birth.

 

2.Salutations and salutations to him who carries a lotus,

Who sleeps on water , who has sun and moon as eyes,

Whose feet are worshipped by Brahma sitting on a lotus,

Who subdued Maha Bali  and the Lord of all Gopis.

 

3.Salutations and salutations to him who likes music,

Who is primeval God , Who is worshipped by all Vedas,

Who is the pretty one of the clan of Yadavas,

And who is the one who saved Vedas  and is Lord of Venkata.

 

4.Salutations and salutations to one  who is loved by Gopa boys,

Who wears the Sri Vathsa , who dresses himself in yello silk,

Who is the son of Devaki and a treasure of mercy,

Who looks after the gopa boys and who lifted Govardhana mountain.

 

5.Salutations and salutations to the father of Kusa and Lava,

Who is the son of Kousalya who fulfills our desires,

Who is the ocean of mercy and is filled with dazzling light,

Who is the son of Dasaratha, and the exterminator of pedigree of Rakshasas.

 

6.Salutations and salutations to him who forded the ocean,

Who beats the moon in beauty, who was born in  the clan of Sun,

Whose feet is worshipped by the hoards of great sages,

Who killed Maricha and who is served by Hanuman.
