1.Dhyayeth niramayam  vasthu sarga sthithi  layaadhikam,
Nirgunam  nishkalam nithyam  , manovachama  gocharam

I meditate , he who is everything, who is beyond  nature  , existence  and  merger  of  things,

Who does not have any  properties ,  permanent decay and is  not   visible to mind, words,

2,Gangadharam, sasidharam, jada  makuta   sobitham,

Swetha  bhoothi tripundrena  virajitha  lalatakam,

He who carries  Ganges, Moon   and shining in tuft on the head,

And has on his   forehead three lines shining with white  powder.

3,Lochana  thraya  sampannam, swarna kundala shobitham,

Smerananam   chathur bahum  mukthaa haropa    shobitham.

Blessed with three eyes , shining  in  golden ear globes,

Has a smiling look, four hands and shining  in a pearl necklace

4.Aksha malaam , sudha kumbham chinmayim mudhrikamabhi,

Pushtakam cha bhujair     divyai dadhaanam  parvathi pathim

Wearing a beaded  chain having pot of nectar, divine goddess   and seal ring,

Having a book in hand which is for giving and   the husband of goddess  Parvathi

5,Swethambaradaram, swetham, rathna   simhasana   sthitham,

Sarvaabheeshta pradhatharam , vata  moola  nivasinam

Hee who is dressed  in white  coloured silk, who is white in colour and sitting  on a  gem studded throne,

He  fulfills all our desires  and lives in the root of banyan tree.

6.Vaamange samsthithaam  gaurim balarkayutha,

Japa kusuma  saahasra samana sriyam eeswarim

She  is Gauri who sits on the left side shining like an infant sun,

She  is the  prosperous  goddess equal   to thousand  china  rose  flowers

7,Suvarna rathna khachitha mukutena   viraajithaam,

Lalata patta samraajaath samlagna thilakaanchithaam,.

He who shines with a gem studded golden crown on his head,

With shining thilaka  in the middle   of his   forehead.

8.Rajeevaayatha nethraam thaam neelothphala dalekshanaam,

Santhaptha  hema khachitha thatangaa  aabharananvitham

In her lotus like face  she has two   eyes resembling  blue lotus leaves,

Where she wears   the      ornaments   of ear studs made of molten gold.

9.Thamboola charvana   rathna  jihwaa viraajithaam,

Pathakabharano pethaam muktha haropi   shobitham.

She   who shines with ruby like toungue due to eating  Thamboola,

She who wears  flag like ornament as well     as necklace  made of pearl.

11. Swarna kankana  samyukthai charbhir bahubhir   yuthaam,

Suvarna   rathna khachita kanchi    dhama virajithaam

Wearing golden bangles   on al;l her  four hands,

And shining in a     golden belt studed with gems.

12, Kadali lalitha stambha sannubhir yugaanvithaam,

Sriyaa   viraajitha paadham bakta thrana parayanaa

She   who has two  pretty thighs similar to  stem of banana,

Who has a feet having prosperous looks and she is interested in making devotees cross

13.anyonya aslishta hrud bahu gauri Sankara  samjakam,

Sanathanam  para brahma paramathamanamavyyayam

With each other  hugging with   hands and chest  and is known as Gauri  Sankara,

Who is the  perennial Para  Brahma, the changeless  concept  of great god

14.Aavahayaami jagathaam easwaram  parameswaram,

Mangalayathanam devam yuvaanamathi sundaram

I am invoking   god of the universe called Parameshvara,

He is the god who brings   auspiciousness and is a very pretty young person

15Dhyayeth kalpa tharor moola sukhasinam sahomaya,

Nama parvathi pathaywe, hara hara mahadeva

I meditate on both of them sitting together  comfortably below the Kalpaka tree,

I salute   the lord of Parvathi, Hail hail great god

16.Iymkara   hreemkara  rahasya yukthe,

Sreemkara goodartha  maha  vibukthou,

Omkara marma prathi pathi nibhyaam,

Namo nama guru  padhukabhyamm

I bow before the wooden slippers of my teacher,
Who taught me the meaning of “OM”,
Which is the inner meaning of the sound “Srim”,
Being a holy combination of the sounds “Im” and “Hrim”.
