English translation

Pallavi

Oh groom of Sita, for singing or hearing music,
It should be written on one’s head.

Anupallavi

For understanding Gita and Upanishad,
And to get freedom from this bondage,
It should be written on one’s head.

Charanam

The Brahmam is clothed only by the sky,
And Oh Athma Rama, if after understanding this,
One gets drowned in the good quality music,
He is one with God, says Thyagaraja.
