Pallavi

Kanda  vandarul taral aahaadha gathi veredhu,

O Valli  manavala  pulli mayil yerum

Pachilam kuzhaviyai petha   thai,

Parinthu anaippathu kandan andro,

Parama dhayakaran endru  per ,
Pugazh  padaithavan nee andro,

SAchidananda murthy  saravanothbhava   Guhane,

SAnkaran magane dhayavudane thirumal maruga ,

Manam irangi  unathu  adimai  yennidam parinthu.

 

English translation

 

Pallavi

Oh Kanda, can you not come    and give ,

Your grace , What  other  option do I have

 

Anupallavi

Oh Guha   of Thiruchendhur, for   removing the worry and sorrow   of this  slave,

If you   come of your own , would your greatness   reduce ,

Oh Consort of Valli , who rides   on the peacock.

 

Charanam

Does not The mother   who has given birth  ,

To a very little babe hug  Kandha   with  pity,

Are you not the   one who is famous     as,

The one who is    divinely   merciful,

Oh Guha , the god of divine joy , who was   born out of Sarvana pond,

The son of Lord Shiva , with mercy, oh nephew of  Lord Vishnu,

Would you not come   with a melted mind  taking pity on me.
