He who gives salvation to devotees,
He who looked after earth just like a play.

He who is desired by people who are full,
He who is black and prettiest in the world,
He who lived in Saketha (Ayodhya) Pattana.

He who is the great hero of war,
He who is far away from proud people,
He who is a golden one with courage

He who has an incomparable body,
He who is the soul of great Ragas,
He who takes care of devotees,

He who removes the problems of domestic life
He who understands the human beings,
And is sung by sage Thyagaraja.

  4. Has some translated translated such compositions in Hindi
    Since it's Sanskrit I believe this could easily done as well sung in Hindustani Sangeet mode. This way a larger section of Indian population access and appreciate the compositions of a great poet.
