1.That is the bank of Cauvery blessed   with the matchless  slow breeze,

In whose    several decorated houses   with several  floors,

 Where the Brahmins raise and worship the fire and chant   the Vedas and pray,

And which has been told by Siva as the pretty city worth  living.

Pragadamaina  Navarathna kachitha hataka  mandapa vasamu  kaligenanasu

2.Blessed with   several scented  king of flowers , with very song of  the Koels ,

Along with divine tres praised by  sages from Sukha  to Sanala,

With Goddess SAraswathi  doing service, Oh God whose body is the colour of blue gem of Indra,

You are occupying the famous stage made of gold and studded   with nine type  of gems.

3.Yi mahilo   sokasaina chola seema yanthu varamaina  Pancha nadha pura,

Kama Janaka Thyagaraja  sannutha   nama,  Pavana thanaya  vidrudha   charana  ,

Kshemamuga   vardhillu natty  puramuna Sita Bhama soumithri  prakka kolisetharani.

3. .In this world in the very pretty kingdom of Cholas  is the blessed city of five rivers,

And near the God who lives there, you possibly  wanted    to live,

Oh father of Manmatha who is praised by Thyagaraja , whose feetwere held by the son of wind God,

Happily   along with Sita and Lakshmana  on both sides , thinking that they will serve you.
