English translation

 

Pallavi

She will be on the white lotus flower,

She would be in the sound emanating from Veena,

She would be in the heart  of great poets,

Who write poems giving great pleasure.

Anupallavi

She  would shine inside the chant of Vedas,

Which is being chanted knowing its true meaning,

She would be  the inner meaning of the  merciful words,

Told by sages   who do not have any deceit.

Charanam

1.She would be in the songs sung by ladies with sweet voice,

She would be in the lisping words of  little babies.

She would be sitting on the toungue of the koel singing songs,

And  also in the   toungue  of the birds.

2.Making  the prettiness , her oiwn,

Of the  job   which  is done with love,

And  that of pretty pictures and temple towers,

She would remain  with the personification of sweetness.
