English translation

 

Pallavi

Oh Daughter,  Now based on what did you start loving him, Oh dear

 

Anupallavi

 With that carrier of Ganga  who is absolutely mad,

And has developed intimacy with others earlier,

Is it for the his dance with  the ghosts,

Or Is it for his old tattered cloths,

Or Is it  for  his steed Nandi the bull,

Or it  for the magical acts that he does?

 

Charanam

 

1.Is it for his skinning the tiger  and wearing  its skin as a shawl,

Or Is it for his bravery of the mind in holding an axe as a weapon,

Or is it  for the fact that  he caught hold of the snake of the mountain,

And started wearing  as a garland  on his neck,

Or Is it for the Sari he gives  or is it  for the job he does or is it for his sports?

 

2.Is it for  the likely presents that his parents are likely to give you,

Or Is it for his wearing the moon and  the one eye on his forehead,

Or Is it for his wining the God of love  or is it for the poison he swallowed,

Or Is it for his leg that  killed  the God of death  for the sake of Markandeya,

Or Is it for his body coated with ash , Is it for the skin of elephant he wears

Or is it  for the youthfulness  of   that lad?
