English translation

Pallavi

Oh Hari ,Where will I search for you?

Anupallavi

You who would not come,
Even if Brahma, with four heads calls you.

Charanam

Where would I search for you Hari, who is worshipped by Thyagaraja
In this place where people are having a very vulgar mind,
People who do evil acts and people who speak evil words are there,
And in this place where people act as if they are your devotees.
