I sing about the Lord of obstacles with one tusk,

Who is the darling son of  Lord Shiva,

Who is saluted  by Lord Subrahmanya always.

 

Anupallavi

He who is decorated by the ear globe made of serpent gem,

Who is worshipped by  experts  on the new grammar,

Who is famous for blessing people  engaged in,

Fire sacrifice , Yoga , Chanting, penance and meditation,

Who takes  care  of  the  entire world, Who with the ever present joy,

Graces  us  with thousands of Ragas of songs, with their thalam and import.

 

Charanam
