Oh stealer  of the heart of Lakshmi ,

For quite some  time I wanted to tell you one thing

Is it necessary to repeat  it thousand times

Anupallavi

Sri manthulow, nee sodarulu,

Seyu reethi pada sevakorithini

Anupallavi

I only had a desire  to serve your feet,

As is done by your gentleman   brothers

Charanam

Dharmathyakhils, purusharthamulu,

Dasarhuni roopambbina ,

Marmambu vereyunnathi,

Mannimpu mika Thyagaraja  nutha

CHaranam

Taking the form  which is the personifications,

Of the four Purusharthas   in this   great world,

Is shrouded  in mystry and please pardon me,

And accept my services  oh Lord prayed by Thyagaraja
