Pallavi

Lord Shiva, Great God, destroyer, He who pleases Parvathi

Anupallavi

Lord Shiva , Great God , He who helps devotees who surrender
He who is lotus eyed , give me devotion to your lotus like feet.

Charanam

He who is very merciful, He who holds the deer, He who destroys,
He who carries Ganga , He who ornaments himself with snake, the carrier of earth,
He who has entered the blessed and devoted heart of Thyagaraja
He who has a feet where devas salute and the gems fall from their crown which makes sound,
He who is in the temple tower, he who is the king of beauty ,
He who is the God of mountain, he who is much above divinity, He who destroys sins.
