Bhaajaamapara   karunarnava  poorna   chandram,

Nasaya  sarva vipadhaam api naumi nithya-,

Meesana  kesava  bhuvam  bhuvanaika  nadham,

1,I daily salute  the son of Lord Shiva   and Lord Kesava ,

Who is the  only lord  of all the   worlds of the universe,

Who  fulfills all the desires of those   who sing about  his lotus like feet,

And who is like full moon to the  shore less ocean , so that he destroys all dangers  to me.

2.Pinchavali valyitaa kalitha prasoona,

Sanjatha kanthi  bhara basura  kesa bharam,

Sinchana manju mani bhooshana ranjithangam,

Chandravathamsa harinandana masrayami

2.I depend on the son of  Hari and he who wears the moon,

Who has  the heavy  and very   shining  hair locks,

Which resembles the luster of  flower decked peacock feathers,

And whose body   is decorated by gem studded ornaments which give out tinkling sound.

3.Aalola Neela lalithalaka  hara ramyam

Akamranasa marunadhara mayathaksham,

AAlmbhanam trijagatham  pramdhadhinadham ,

Who is pretty wearing  the waving and simple  curls  of hair,

Ganda sthalam  samdhidhanna  pundareekam,

5.I daily salute  by bending forward  that  lord  of  light ,

And who is  surrounded   by the crowds  of luster  which rises,

8.I sing about  the leader  of Pramadhas  ,  who pacifies,

All sort of diseases  , who has a very  pretty form ,

Due to the flow of  mind stealing   luster  ,

Similar  to the luster  of Kalaya  flowers and who is very pretty.
