English translation
Pallavi
Pretty with parvathy, store house of pity, Shiva, Shankara
Anupallavi
Sadashiva who was worshipped by Lord Vishnu,
He who has collected the moon , the pretty God.
Charanam
The leader of the Tamil Sangam with great fame and great growth,
He who took care of the son of wind God, Hanuman,
The consort of Meenakshi , Have kindness to me and rule me as your slave.
Translations to English of the lyrics of Krithis of Carnatic music , which are tomes of devotion.
i rather would say in the charanam "rule me as your servant" since i think slave sounds a bit too harsh. But great translations, thank you so much! I was initially confused in anupallavi about who Sowri rajan is, this cleared my doubt. Thank you!
