English translation

 

Pallavi

 

Oh Lord Narayana, to those,

Who see your colour of a black cloud,

Is there ever birth and death.

 

Anupallavi

 

Is there ever birth or death to those,

Who take bath , celebrate in the,

Ebbing waters of your Ganges like feet and come to see you.

 

Charanam

 

In the temple of music, on the stage of Urvashi,

When you are sitting on the lotus throne.

When On one side , Goddess Lakshmi, Neela Devi and Bhoo Devi,

And Nara and Narayana are standing,

When Narada is worshipping you ,

When Sage Udhava is appreciating you ,

When Garuda and Khubera are standing with saluted hands,

When you are  showering your  grace on devas and Brahmins

Who worship you properly , and when your feet  are in our mind,

Will there be ever birth or death.
