Anupallavi

Needoli Mahendra neela mani kooti,

Nerthi perum  magudam aarayum chooti

Kooda un nethiyidai  sindhooram theeti,

Kozhi neerum  kunkumum  theeti mukuram  katti,

Kothodu  manam  Kadamba malar maalayum,

Muthamidum vagayara ,

Kundamaravinda makarandhamodu   gandhamura,

Vindayani  munthuravaga,

Kurui nagai tharam polivura kanda ,

Kollayai pona manam kooda,

Athikamarai veethikal pala nithiyariyum padi  muyala,

Mathiyamukha ninathu kazhal pathiyavena yengum.

 

English translation

 

Pallavi

Oh wealth  which is difficult to search, please come,

Oh pleasant  one given by Our God  who wears the moon and  Ganges.

 

Anupallavi

Wearing the extremely shining   blue sapphire ,

Wearing the very properly made six crowns,

Along  with saffron mark on your forehead,

Also wearing sacred ash  and kumkum , showing flower buds,

Wearing  the scented garland of Kadamba flowers  along with the bunch,
