1.Nyayo hi danda  krutha kilbeshsmin,

Thavaavathara khala  nigrahaaya,

Ripo suthaanaam api thulya  drushte,

Dathse dhamam phalamevaanu samsan.

It is only proper   to punish  those who do a crime,

Also enemies   and friends are  alike to you.

Because you have been born to kill  those who do crime,

You are punishing  people   expecting   good results.

2.Anugrahoyam  bhavatha kutho hi no,

Dando asathaam they kalmashaapaha,

Krodhopi  they anugraha eva  sammatha.

What you have done to us is blessing  and we are happy by that,

And  even the punishment you give to evil people  is a blessing to them,

Possibly  Kaliya   was born as   an evil snake  , due to the sin he did,

And the enmity  that you showed to him  has become a blessing to him.

And must have respected  to every one else

Or he should have  observed  Dharma with pity  to all others,

And because  of this you have  become happy   with him.

What   great  Karma   should  have been done by him,

So that he  got the chance   to bear  the dust of your feet,

Desiring Which   the Goddess  Lakshmi  , left everything ,

And did penance   , till  her   desire   was fulfilled.

5.Na naakha prushtam , na cha sarva bhoumam,

Na paameshtyam, na rasaadhipathyam,

Your devotees  desiure  to have the  dust of your feet,

Not to  reach heaven  nor   to become  master of all,

Not to be greatest god  , not become  king of all interests,

Not  to get results of Yoga, nor  for  getting salvation.
