God who won over the thousands gods of love  by the prettiness of his body,

Who was born in forest of grass, who is praised by devas   and Indra ,

Who ride  on the cloud   Oh Lad who is the treasure house of good  , do good to us.

God who destroyed Tharaka and Soora padma,

Like fire destroys dried grass, son of  the daughter of the mountain,

Valorous  one , Nephew of  Lord Rama ,

Who is generous and merciful to his friends, Who is praised by Thyagaraja.
