English translation

 

Pallavi

 

He came with a majestic gait and stood,

In the hall of wedding  with his lotus hands,

Held by Udhava, with the minds of all pretty damsels,

Yearn for him in love , with the world surrounded by sea ,

Increase in its penance and with the crowd ,

Which came searching for him moving.

 

Anupallavi

 

With all gossiping damsels coming together ,

And sing “Gowri Kalyaname”  with full throated voice ,

And with Lord Shiva as a contribution of his,

Sang clearly and loudly “Vaibogame”

 

 

Charanam

When with happiness Dumburu and Narada,

Were fanning you from your sides,

Akroora took the Veena that was there,

Sang  the song in Ananda Bhairavi,

Balrama seeing that the the song and tune ,

Were alone , started keeping  beats with a stick in hand,

The Gandarwas showered  lot of flowers  from the sky,

And the damsels one by one joined the singing.
