Uthara sesha giri nivasinam

Akshaya pradam bhaya nivaranam

Baktha vathsalam sakala dushta nigraham

Venkateshwaram baje vishwa sundaram                                                              (Uthara)

 

He lives on the northern Sesha giri,

Gives forever, and removes fears.

Is kind to his devotees, kills all bad people.

I sing about Venkateswara who is the prettiest of the world.

 

Thava nikethanam sarva baktha chethanam

Thava sudarshanam divya jyothi darshanam

Smarana keerthanam thava bakthi narthanam

Venkateshwaram baje vishwa sundaram                                                              (Uthara)

 

Your home is the aim of all devotees,

Your Sudarshana gives a vision of divine light,

Remembering and singing about you is a dance of devotion,

I sing about Venkateswara who is the prettiest of the world.

 

Kshethra darshanam thava pada yathrinam (nithya)

Kalyanothsavam thava vaibhavothsavam

Laksha deepam thava sravana jyothinam

Venkateshwaram baje vishwa sundaram                                                              (Uthara)

 

Seeing your abode requires travelling on foot (daily),

Your auspicious festival is the very great festival,

Lighting of one lakh lamps is the flame of Sravana month,

I sing about Venkateswara who is the prettiest of the world.

 

Kavi jana priyam kapi varagrajam

Avanija priyam pavanajathmajam (dasa)

Krishna keerthanam hanuma narthanam

Venkateshwaram baje vishwa sundaram

Sharanam govinda swamy sharanam govinda                                                     (Uthara)

 

He is the favorite of poets and he blesses the great monkey,

He who likes the earth is the son of the wind god (servant),

Singing of Krishna, dancing of Hanuman,

I sing about Venkateswara who is the prettiest of the world.

I surrender to God Govinda , surrender to Govinda.
