English Translation

 

Pallavi

 

Come, Come Ranga who sleeps on a snake,

Who is pretty, shows mercy and is sung about.

 

Anupallavi

 

Come come, Oh lion like wrestler to the elephant,

Oh God who quickly ends miseries of life.

 

Charanam

 

1. God who lives between to branches of Cauvery,

God who gives protection, God who smiles prettily,

Oh pleasant Good waited for girls in the crowd,

Oh God who blesses all, Oh God in whom Lakshmi lives.

 

2. Oh Black god who lived in the house,

Surrounded by seven enclosures,

Oh god who is with sixteen thousand Gopis making sound,

Please protect the people of the world.

 

3. Oh God who has the good of devotes who offer their mind to you,

Oh God who has eyes like lotus flowers,

Oh Purandara Vittala holding a conch and a wheel,

Oh God who is praised by Dumburu and Narada.
