Ananda  mayavanai vasudevan  kandu kondaan

Vasudeva saw  the wonderful child,.  The lotus eyed one  ,

The  endless   one, the master  of  illusion   and joy.

Anupalaavai

Vathsamenum marruvum, maalayaum  kausthubhavum, Marbinile  vilanga-moola,

THathuva sangamum , chakaramum  , gadhayum, thamarayum, naalu kaikalil inga,

Metha oli  minnalathu  , naana peethambaramum , meniyathu kar mukhilin neela  nirame  thakavum,

Muthu  nava rathina padakka makuta kadakam, munji puri noolum, aparanji manitha kanamum,\

Kaatti  pasha vinai kalotti, karunai vizhi kootti anandamootti, Bhakthi neri kaatti,

Karakamala maattiya paramettiyavan karunai  kolum

The mole  called  sri vathsa, Garland , Kausthubha shining  on his   chest,

The philosophical conch , chakra, mace, lotus flower shining  in his four hands,

The yellow silk making the  very bright lightning ashamed, the body having the blue  colour of the cloud,

The crown and bangles made of pears  and nine type of gems, the sacred thread of munji grass, the anklet  made of pure gold,

Showing this he drove previous karma, he showed his merciful eyes and gave us joy, showed us the way of devotion,

And the great god with lotus  in his hand, showed mercy

Charanam

1.Kandaan  , kandu kondaan,

Andarum  kaanaatha  adhisaya  mayavanai

He saw  , he  realized  ,

The wonderful  God  , whom even devas  have not seen

2.Karpakavum, nava nidhiyum,., kama dhenvum ,

Bhuvangalai   oru kudayil katti, kaivalyamum,

Indhira padivoyudu,  sidhikal ettum,

Itho yenavum  parai kotti  muzhakkiyum ,

Avaikalai oru kanam , yeti kasanthathena,

Veruthidum mulam, attiyillatha  aanandamaaa

The karpaga tree, nine type of treasures  , The   divine cow Kama dhenu,

Showed all   the universes under one  umbrella, gave place in god’s world,

Gave   the job of indr and  announced  it by  playing a drum .

If  for a second   we can say they      are  useless  and bitter,

And by hating thus, we  get limitless  joy.

3,Neela thirumeniyanai, nirmalanai, nithiyanai   , nirakaranai,

Nirgunanai, oru kana ninaivaar  koota, nenjam iruppavanai  , thathuvanai

Nayakanai  , tharkanai, chenthamarai yalaka,

Nayakanai, kannara  thanavamai,

Thanavanai thanavanai thanavanai  thaan avanai

The divine one  with a blue body, the pure one,he who is forever, he who is shapeless,

He who does not  have properties,  even those  who think of him for a second, he who has a heart  , he who is  essence of philosophy  ,

The lord   who is like a star who is ruled by the red lotus, that lord see him    till your eyes are  satisfied,

The god , the god , the god as   you yourself.
