Pallavi

 

Maharani ayi devi saraswathi

Maha brahma ramani naada sadana nitha                                       (Maharani)

 

Oh queen goddess Saraswathi, who produces a tune,

That entertains Brahma and who also lives with him.

 

 

Anupallavi

 

Chathura guni gaye muktha kantase

Veda parayani nama narayani

Vageeshwari vani geervani sukhadani                                                           (Maharani)

 

With a clear throat, you sing sound of pristine quality,

And you read the Vedas and are called by the name Narayani,

Oh Goddess of words, Saraswathi, celestial singer and one who gives good things.

 

Charanam

 

Vamahatha paru veena daratha nitha (suka)

Vama deva sutha niratha dyana daratha

Gagana mandala goonja udatha nitha

Krishna dasa jana varadayini             

                                                (Maharani)

 

She holds the Veena in her left hand and plays,

With the son Of Vamadeva always meditating on her,

And lifts the sky to great heights,

Oh giver of boons to the people of Krishna dasa.
