Charanam

1.Oh Kanna , shine as a friend in my wisdom,

Oh Kanna , pour the nectar of life,

Oh Kanna , Grow as foetus inside me,

Oh Kanna join together with  the Lakshmi of the lotus.

 

2.Oh Kanna, join together in my soul,

Oh Kanna, sit on my mind,

Oh Kanna , rise in the hellish battle,

So that  the heads of Asuras are shattered.

 

3.Oh Kanna , rise up above the ocean, on the mind,

Like the rising sun  that rises   on the ocean,

Oh Kanna , I will salute  you as Lord Shiva,

Oh help ,  who is being saluted by devas.
