English Translation

Pallavi

Is it without reason , they have crowded round you,
For do not their heart get filled up by perennial joy.

Anupallavi

You are with Lakshmi , you are the sea of mercy,
You have matchless divinity, you are the gem of thought

Charanam

1.Seetha got pleasure due to your handsomeness,
Lakshmana got pleasure in obeying orders of our eyes.

2.The thought of your pretty face was happiness for Bharatha,
The shadow of your thought reflected though Bhatarta,
Was giving great pleasure to Shatrugna.

3.Your twin feet gave great pleasure to Anjaneya,
And the boon you gave to write about him is pleasure to Thyagaraja.
