Bhoomu jalagni  yanila gagana boootha panchaka  aadhaare ,

SWamini  , soma sunderaswara mohithaakare,

Kamitha  phala pradhayaka kadamba  vibhinnakaare,

Bhoomipala nutha Guru Guha  Poojitha Mukthaa  Haare

SAmashti  charanam

Oh support of the five elements earth , water , fire  , wind and the sky,

Oh Goddess  who rules over me who bewitches  Soma Sundareswara,

Who grants   desired results, Oh Goddess who at times  lives in kadamba forest  ,

Who is having kings as   devotees , Who is worshipped  by Lord Subtahmanya and who wears pearl necklace

Madhyama kala Sahithyam

Komala dhara   padha  yugale  ,

Kucha   jaya  sthana  yugale,

THamarasa  charana  yugale,

Thath thwam padartha   yugale

Madhyama Kala  Sahithyam

She who has a pair very pretty   feet,

She who has a pair breasts  that  win over bunch of flowers .

She who has a pair  of lotus  like  foot steps,

She who is the meaning of the pair of words  of philosophy
