Charanam

In the picturesque marriage hall,

In the very new picturesque marriage hall,

Different types of Banana plants are erected,

All round Khus roots have been tied,

The hall is shining with gem studded pillars.

The floors have been paved with green emeralds,

And very ,very pretty Banana leaves have been spread,

And by its side is the water pot made by pure Gold,

And in it is kept the scented rose water with a sacred spoon,

And from it water is sprinkled drop by drop

 

2.All the devas including the Sacred trinity have assembled there,

And dressed  with pretty well made up silk Saris,

And with anklets making jingling sounds,

Food id being served with care and love,

By Goddess Annapurni, Parvatrhi and Adhi Parashakthi,

Arundathi , Indrani , Ahalya, Kousalya,

Panchali, Sitha, Tara , Mandodhari,

The queen of Indra, Rambha, Thilothama,

The kinner devi , the wives of Gandharwas,

Along the the wives of the eight guardians,

And  with the wives of the seven great sages,
