1.Chanda papahara  pada  sevanam  , kanda  shobhivara  kundala dwayam,

Dandithakhila   surari mandalam  , Dandapanim anisam  bhavaye  .

1.I continuously think   about that  Dandapani ,

Who served the feet of one   who destroyed the sin of CHanda,

Who wears  two ear globes    which makes the neck shine  ,

And who  punished    all the collection of  enemies of Devas.

2.Kalakala thanujam  krupalayam  , bala Chandra  vilasad jada dharam,

Seyala   dootha   sisu vasreswaram  Dandapanim anisam  bhavaye  .

2.I continuously think   about that  Dandapani ,

Who is the son of killer of Yama , who is the temple of mercy  ,

Who sports  a matted hair decorated  by   the young moon,

And who is the God  who is the son of God who was sent as emissary .

3.Tarakesa sadhrusa nanojwalam, THarakari  makilarthatham  jaavath  ,

THarakam  niravather  pavamputher , Dandapanim anisam  bhavaye  .

3.I continuously think   about that  Dandapani ,

Who has a great luster similar  to moon, the lord of stars,

Who is the enemy  of Tharaka , who speedily put an end  to all his  wealth,

And who  put an end to the very many    sins  of Tharaka.

4.Thapa haari   nija patha samsthuthim  , kopa  kama  mukhya  vairi  vaarakam,

Paraa pakam   nija padasya  sathwram Dandapanim anisam  bhavaye  .

4.I continuously think   about that  Dandapani ,

Who destroys all the  worries of the true  devotees of his feet,

Who is the  true  chief   of enemy   of anger  and passion,

And who is  the one who immediately  brings  his true   feet,

5.kamaneeya   kavi  nirjithangajam  , Rama Lakshmana karambujarchitham,

KOmalanga mathi sundarakruthim, Dandapanim anisam  bhavaye  .

5.I continuously think   about that  Dandapani ,

Who had very pretty limbs as   described by poets,

Who was worshipped  by the lotus  hands of Rama and Lakshmana,

And who has a very handsome  form with  pretty limbs.

6.Saravana  sambhava  vallesa , Subrahmanya  Maam Pahi,

Dandayudha dara Devesa  Swaminatha Maam Pahi.

Oh Lord of Devas who  carried a staff , Oh SWaminatha  , please protect me.

Oh Six  faced one, Oh son  of Shiva, Oh Subrahmanya , Oh doer of mercy , Oh valorous one protect me.

8,Saravana bhava guha, SAravana bhava guha  , Sarvana BHava Guha  , Pahi guro,

8.Oh Guha born in Sarvana pond , Oh Guha born in Saravana pond, Oh Guha  born in Saravana pond , Protect me, Oh Guru,

Oh Guha born in Sarvana pond, Protect me Oh Guha who is my Guru , Oh Guha born in Sarvana pond.

9.Skandam vandhe lokesam  . Gowri puthram vallesam,
