Pallavi

Kanna thalli neevu naapaala kaluka
Kasi jendha nelanamma

Anupallavi

Vennayunda ne thigevvarai na
Vyasana paduthura Sundari

Charanam

1.Ellavari dalamasvamulu mari ekkuvaina katti mithelanniyu
Kalla kani kannavaralu kanchu sukhamu sunna yanusunu
Ullamunanu bhaga thelusi kondini yooraka thani kula sambhashana ne,
Nolla mayalani thelisi rajjupai nooraka budhi chendanela namma

2.Palauku manjikani parandhavulu mari bhava marathulakka labnna tham
Mulu kalimi choosuvaru lemini kanulu kaanaraa ranu sunu
Thalasu konna vedhuka varimayala thagula jalanamma maru mareechi,
Kalanu choosi neeranusu bramasi kandhradhi pura viharini

3.Kanaka bhooshanamula petti mariyu sokasu chesi palu posi,
Penchina thanuvu sathamu kathu nirmala danaminchukale thanusunu
Anudhina monarinchu sath Kriya nee kani palkina Thyagaraja rakshaki,
Vinu mannida neevani yeriki velpula verani yendhur Tripurasundari.

English translation

Pallavi

My mother when you are on my side,
Why should I get worried , Oh mother

Anupallavi

Oh Tripurasundari , when one has butter with him,
Why should he get worried for ghee.

Charanam

1.I understood that the wealth , horse and houses that one has is all false,
And that the pleasure got by those people who have them is false,
I understood these and kept in my mind that the words of the rich are also false,
And why do one think that a rope is a snake and deceive himself.

2.The relations who does not have good in their words,
Like brother in law, nephew , sister , elder and younger brother,
Would come and look after us when we have money,
When it is not there, none of them would be there.
Understanding this I would not search for them.
Oh mother because we should not fall inside falsehoods,
Will any one get in to a mirage in a desert, Oh Goddess of Thiruvothiyur.

3.This body decorated by gold ornaments which is well looked after ,
By drinking milk is transient and does not indicate a good , clear mind.
Oh goddess who looks after Thyagaraja , who tells that he is doing everything for you,
Please hear my words that , after understanding that you are every where,
Will any one search for any other Gods , Oh Tripura Sundari.
