Of the slave of Kamakshi of city of Kanchi,
Without worries of the mind, all over the time,
Winning over Kali age, we can reach the shore

Karpaka tharu guru kazhaladi paninthida

Who is sitting under the Shadow of Ekambara Nadha
That Guru will remove passion , anger and illusion,
And give us a life which is as sweet as Sugar candy

On the Sankara Peeta of the great city of Kanchi,
If we reach the sannidhi of the God who is in front of our eyes,
The Guru would come in form of wind, protect our life,
Dilute the fate of our Karma and bless us.

Dance telling name of Guru of Kanchi,
Sing, sing in praise , the fame of
The guru of Kanchi and dance.

Daily we will win over the faded mind,
By bowing before the feet which gives us,
The thing we searched, we would become joyous

Koodi paadi dhinam kumbittavar padham-mannil,

Oh kindliness who comes before us and blesses
To those who joined and sang and danced before you,
No sickness or disability will come and we will get prosperity

After knowing their seven Naadis so that they get all that is good,
We will salute the feet of the God of Kanchi,
Who moved about and removed our fate within a second,

Thedi vanthorkku arul deivathaye
We wandered daily searching, without knowing,
What we are searching in this life,
We will search and get his blessing-the god,
Who blessed those who came in search of him.
