SAranam  nithyam, thavaka  charanam, Sarvana  sodharan Ayyappa

Tharane  ninnude  nama sahasram, Karuna  pozhikkoo Sabareesaa

 

Daily  surrender  to your feet, Oh  Ayyappa, Brother of Shanmukha

Please give  your 1000 names, Oh Lord of Sabari , please  rain your mercy

 

Manikanda  swami than munnilaai manjani

Makaram mandhahasikkunnu

Makara nakshthrathinde punchiri  prabhaylo

Malayil bakthi  niranjidunnu, Dhivya

Maalayil  ayyappan  minnidunnu

 

Before  God  Manikanda, The makara month

Decorated by dew  is  slowly  laughing

In the  shine  of  the  smile  of Makara  Star

The mountain  is filled  by devotion

Lord Ayyappa  shines  on the  divine  mountain

 

Karamathil villum saravumai  minnum

Karuna  sagaran ayyappa

Karayum bakthannu karunya thira

Karamathil varamaai  cherthavane

Karimala  vaazhum  Jagadheesaa

 

Oh ocean of mercy  Ayyappa

Who shines with  bow and arrow in  his hands

He who gave  the screen  of mercy ,

In  the hands of the  crying devotee

Oh lord of universe who lives on Karimala(Black  mountain)

 

Raviyude  prabhayo ninnude kaalil

Rajatha kolusukal  chaarthidunnu

Raavaam pull puliyude mukalil

Rakapathi  poal nee varunnu

Ragandhakaaram  agalunnu

 

The  shine  of the sun , is,

Making you wear silver anklets on your legs

On the spotted  tiger  which is the dawn

You  are  coming  like  the  full moon

The darkness of the loveliness  is removed

 

Jyothi  swaroopande maamala makara

Jyothiyil manthram  chollunnu

Jyothir linga  priyanude varamaam

Jyothsnayil sarvam  theliyunnu

Jyothir dhyanathil layikkunnu

 

The  great mountain of him whose form is a flame

Is chanting  manthras in Makara  Jyothi

The  boon of him  who likes  jyothir linga

Is  becoming  clear in the full moon light

And merges  in the  meditation of light

 

THirayathu poale thavaka charana

Theeram thedi jnaan  ozhukunnu’

Thingal bhajanam  cheyyum jnano

Thirunada  thedi anayunnu

Thingal  dharanude thiru suthane

 

Just like a wave  , I am flowing,

In search  of your divine feet

I who am praying and singing the entire month

Am searching and nearing  your divine place

Oh divine son of God who carries the moon
