1.I think about   the God of Sabari mountain known as  Ayyappa,

Who is truth  , permanent  , noble one  worshipped by entire world and  is chosen

Who makes   all his devotees   who are engaged in worship of his feet  to cross the ocean of Samsara,

Who is  whole heartedly served  with heart full of joy  by learned  people.

2.I think about   the God of Sabari mountain known as  Ayyappa,

Who is depended upon  by hoards  of good sages , by mixing of their hearts like king of bees,

3.I think about   the God of Sabari mountain known as  Ayyappa,

Who lives in   the auspicious temple   which assures safety from great dangers,

And which is unprotected, honoured and holds   the sun with twelve souls in its lotus like heart

Who is courageous, valorous  and caused great destruction of Asuras the sons of Dithi.

4.Pampatheere   vihitha vihruthim Karthikeya swaroopam,

4.I think about   the God of Sabari mountain known as  Ayyappa,

Who  started living  in the shores of Pampa , who had a form like Subrhamanya,

Who is the ocean of mercy , who destroyed ills of Kali age , who is wish giving tree  to poets,

And  whose  feet  is washed   with   water inlaid with camphor , sandal and musk

5.Mandhakranthaam   bhuvamala  meemaam    yasya   bhavya kadaksham  ,

Dharmyama   gunyaam    rachanyathi  vibhorbhaktha   vathsalya poornam  ,

Vyakthavyaktham   jagathi   sakale   sancharantham thameesa,

Rayyapakhyam  , Sabari gireesam   sadgurum   Chinthayeham

5.I think about   the God of Sabari mountain known as  Ayyappa,

Who when  I move    through the holy atmosphere for getting his divine  sight,

And due  to my   character  according to Dharma  write about that  lord   with devoted   affection,

Travels     all over the  clear and unclear    world .
