Pallavi

 

Veena pusthaka mala dharini

Ganamrutha lahari sharade                                                               (Veena)

 

She who wears the garland of Veena as well as books,

Who is Sharada, the wave of the nectar of music.

 

Anupallavi

 

Omkarothbhavam baktha vibhavam

Nisseema mahima mangala dayini                                                    (Veena)

 

She was born out of “Om”, she is the feast to devotees,

And one who grants limitless fame and auspiciousness.

 

Charanam

 

Sarasijothbhava hrudaya nivasini

Sama vedakritha swara malini

Chathurshashti kala geetharadini

Sree Krishna dasa ganollasini

 

She lives in the heart of Brahma, born out of a lotus,

She is the garland of Swaras coined by Sama Veda,

She is the one worshipped by music and the sixty four arts,

And she enjoys the song of Krishna dasa.
