Translation
Fret not, O Mind! Be patient
He will protect everyone, there is no doubt about it.            |Pallavi|

Who was it that tended and watered the tree
that grew on a hill top?
As He is responsible for your existence,
Firmly He will look after you, have no misgiving                   |1|

Who was it that fed the animals and birds
that roam in the forest?
Just like your own Mother, He will take the onus
to care for you without fail.                                                    |2|

Who nourished the worms and insects
that were born on a stone?
The lotus-eyed Adi Keshava of Kaginele

will protect everyone, there is no doubt about it.                  |3|
