Pallavi

 

Of elephant faced god , Oh Son of Parvathi,

Oh God worshipped by all the three worlds,

I am asking you for the good of all good people

 

Anupallavi

 

He who holds a rope and a goad,

He who is extremely pure,

He who rides on a mouse,

He who is dear to sages

 

Charanam

 

I hold your feet, offer Modhaka and worship you as a support,

And so show mercy immediately to Purandara the devotee of Vishnu.
