Periyava, periyava yendru ummai naadiye

Chiriyaven azhaikkindren, arulveer ayyaa

Periyava Periyavaa , Thiru Kanchi Periyava

Ariyava  arula vaa Shiva  THabdavaa

 

I call you, wanting you as Periyava, Periyava(great one)

The small one  is calling you, Please  bless me Sir

Oh great one, Oh great one , Oh great one of Divine Kanchi

Oh rare one , please  come to bless , Oh Shiva  Thandava

 

Guru Nadha   un thiru padhangal paniya

Arul nadhaa yendrume  aanandam adaya

Guru padha  darisanam, dhinam  kana  arulveer

Perum pathakam indri perinbam  arulveer

 

Oh  Lord Guru, to  salute your   divine feet

Oh lord who blesses to be always  happy

PLeasee  bless me to see  daily  the feet of Guru

Without great crimeplease bless me  great joy

 

Iru kaikal kaatti, mana  irukkathai  pokki

Irukkaye kolveer , yen manathil   Guruve

Iru kayyal maal ayanao  yenthiya  thiruve

Iru kai koopiye panithitten  thiruve

 

Showing  both hands, make me lose  tightness of mind,

Oh Guru  please  take a  seat  in  my mind

Oh divine one who lifted LoRd Vishnu and Lord Brahma

Oh Divine , folding both   hands  I salute you

 

Oru vizhiyaal karunai mazhai  pozhinthu arul   Guruve

Iru vizhiyaal arulveer peru vazhiye  thiruve

Iru vizhiyaal  oli arul  trinethra  thiruve

Iru vizhi neeraal paninthitten  Guruve

 

Oh Guru please shed rain of mercy  using your two eyes

Oh Divine one , please bless me the right path  using your two eyes

Oh divine one  with three eyes, with two eyes grant me light

Oh Guru, I salute   you with   tears   from both eyes
