He who stole the mind of Lakshmi has come,
The Govinda who is the Lord of Brindavana has come,
The killer of the crocodile has come,
The holder of the divine Chakra has come,
The one who blessed Akroora has come,
The God Trivikrama has come.

2.He who rides the bird has come,
He who is the elder brother of Lakshmana has come,
The giver of endless benefits who pleases Lakshmi has come
He came for making a conclusion
He who cannot be seen even by Vedas has come
The ever cheerful Purandara Vittala has come.
