Translated by

P.R.Ramachander

 

केशवानन्द गोविन्द वाराह पुरुषोत्तम।
पुण्यं यशस्यमायुष्यं तिलकं मे प्रसीदतु।।
कान्ति लक्ष्मीं धृतिं सौख्यं सौभाग्यमतुलं बलम्। 
ददातु चन्दनं  ( कुंकुमम ) नित्यं सततं धारयाम्यहम्।।

 

Kesava anantha   Govinda  Varaha,

Purushothama, punyan , yasas, mayushyam,

Thilakam may  praseedhathu Kanthi

Lakshmi  druthim Saukhyam,

Saubhagyam athulam  Balam  , dadaathu,

Chandanam (kumkumam)  nithyam   sathatham,

Dharayaamyaham

 

Meaning

Kesava., Anatha , Govinda    , Varaha ,

And purushothama would give  me,

Fame  , long life, luster, wealth, health  ,

Luck, unmatched strength,

I am  daily wearing   it with ,

Sandal paste/Kumkuma

 

Lakshmi vaseekarana choorna, Sahodharaani,

Thwath padha pankajarajamsi chiram jayanthi,

Yaani pranayama milithaani nrunaam lalaate,

Lumpanthi daathru likhithaani duraksharaani.

 

The powder  which attracts  prosperity of the  brothers,

Would  redden  your lotus like   looks to victory  for a  long time,

If it is put  on the forehead  at the meeting point of nose,

And it  would take away  the  bad letters  written by  Lord Brahma.

 

While applying kumkum

 

urdhava pundram lalaateshu partha raayushya vardhanam

lalate kumkumam chaiva sadhaa lakshmi nivasiyeth||

 

Applying oordwa pundra  on the forehead increases  your life span,

And also applying Kumkum on forehead   makes  Lakshmi to  stay with you   forever
