Pallavi

I  surrender  to your holy feet,

Oh Ganapathi of Vatapi

 

Anupallavi

Who grew up in Thiruvaroor ,Where,

The God of gods , Thyagesan  played his holy acts,

 

Charanam

He, who is the one  who gives good life  and great joy in this world ,

And  in heaven to those who believe in him,

Who gives the boons that they want to his devotees,

Who is  the lord who makes Shiva as well as his,

Consort  Kamalambikai happy,

Who is the one who does merciful acts,

Who is the one who was kind to the  world famous sage Agasthya ,

Who is the Lord who was born before Lord Subrahmanya,

And who grew up  in the mind of Ramadasan.
