Pallavi

Varaalu anthukomeni naayaandhu,

Vanchana cheya nyayama?

Pallavi

In my case, after telling , receive the boons,

Is it just to deceive me later?

Anupallavi

Surasura vinutha Rama, Naa mana,

Su, subhakthinu koriyunda ganu

Anupallavi

Oh Rama , who is praised  by devas and Asuras,

Escpecially when my mind wanted only pure  devotion towards you,

Charanam

1,.Manamuna  nijanuga nammina vaari,

Manasu koncha balam asinchagaraa,

Du,  anusu Ghanuni chesina nee brityhuku,

Kanaka kasipu suthudu  sakshee kathaa.

Charanam

1,The mind of  those  who really   believed should,

Not desire    for a result   which is of less  effect,

For  it would affect  the fame of one as great as you,

And for this   the witness is Prahladha  ,  son  of Hiranya Kasipu.

2.Avivekamudho thelisi theliyakanu,

Bhava sugamula kasinchina  kaani,

Druvamaina   balamosagu  nee sakthiki  ,

Dhruvudu Sakshi kathaa.

2.With ignorance with understanding or without,

If one desires     for the pleasures  of  domestic life,

Is not Druva    witness    for your ,

Strength    which is very stable .

3.Characharathmaka   , sura poojitha   , ika,

Paraaku  lekanu   sathathamu  nee dha-

Ya  raavale   nenusu   korina    sree thyaga-

Rajunipai   krupa leka  nanu

3.”Oh God who is  the soul  of moving and not moving beings

Oh God who is worshipped  by devas,
without neglecting, I should  always ,

Get your mercy” When Thyagaraja asked like this,

Should you deceive him without showing your  mecrcy?
