Pallavi 
Neene gathi enage Vanaja nEthri 

Anupallavi 
Kailasa embOdu kaNNali kaaNe 
Mayilu vahana pitha etta pOdano kaaNe

Charanam 
SathyalokavembOdu mithya vaayitu kaaNe 
Etta pOdano brahma Enu maaDali amma, 
Sarasija naabhanu sarathiyoLu muLugida, 
Purandara viThalana karuNege paathraLe

English meaning 
Pallavi 
You are my only refuge, Oh lotus eyed one 

Anupallavi 
I do not see with my eyes the place called Kailasa 
I do not know where (Shiva) the father of the God who rides the peacock, has gone 

Charanam 
Oh dear, the sathya loka has become an illusion, 
Oh Mother, where has Brahma disappeared? What shall I do? 
(Vishnu) The God with lotus in his belly has submerged in the sea, 
You, who are favoured by Purandara Vithala, (are my only refuge)
