Oh Lord of music, with enthusiasm,
I would sing about your feet.

I would make you sit in the middle,
And sing about you by meditation.
2. In a plate of gems called the feeling of devotion,
I would worship you with a lamp of pearls,
So that I can become free.
3. I would not leave you and it is not right that you leave me,
Oh God who sleeps on serpent, Oh Vijaya Vittala
Please hear these words of your devotees.
Translations to English of the lyrics of Krithis of Carnatic music , which are tomes of devotion.

And when my body trembled on being hit by the moon,
And when the dusk laid its foundation,

Became the husband of the daughter of Janaka,
Destroyed the pride of the angry Parasurama ,
And reached back the town of Ayodhya.
2.Leaving out the coronation , due to the promise, Rama
Who was like love God went to forest,
Along with Sita and Lakshmana with peace and equanimity,
Went to the home of Guha and gave his gem studded slippers,
To Bharatha when he met him at Chithrakoota,
3.He went to the greatly spread out forest of Dandakaranya,
Killed Viradha , was presented Vishnu’s bow and arrows by the great Agasthya,
Was worshipped by the superior Jatayu , lived in Panchavati,
And killed Khara and others who came there ,
As per the words of the fierce Soorpanaka.
4.Killer of the cruel Maricha who took the form of a golden deer,
Ravana disregarding the advice of good people stole Sita,
The sinless one searching for her reached Pampa and met,
Anjaneya , and reached an understanding with Sugreeva,
The son of the Sun who is the jewel in the sky and killed Vali.
5.Rama gave his gem studded ring with shine of hundred suns,
To the son of wind God when he was with Sugreeva,
And when he came back saw the spotless brooch of Sita,
From the auspicious one and met Vibeeshana in the sea shore.
6.He then constructed a bridge ,killed endless number of Rakhasas,
Then killed the very brave and mighty ten headed one,
And accompanied by Sita purified by fire reached Ayodhya,
And crowned himself as protector of the Universe and Padmanabha.

Who purified the sage’s wife Ahalya,
Who broke the divine bow of Shiva,
Became the husband of the daughter of Janaka,
Destroyed the pride of the angry Parasurama ,
And reached back the town of Ayodhya.
2.Leaving out the coronation , due to the promise, Rama
Who was like love God went to forest,
Along with Sita and Lakshmana with peace and equanimity,
Went to the home of Guha and gave his gem studded slippers,
To Bharatha when he met him at Chithrakoota,
3.He went to the greatly spread out forest of Dandakaranya,
Killed Viradha , was presented Vishnu’s bow and arrows by the great Agasthya,
Was worshipped by the superior Jatayu , lived in Panchavati,
And killed Khara and others who came there ,
As per the words of the fierce Soorpanaka.
4.Killer of the cruel Maricha who took the form of a golden deer,
Ravana disregarding the advice of good people stole Sita,
The sinless one searching for her reached Pampa and met,
Anjaneya , and reached an understanding with Sugreeva,
The son of the Sun who is the jewel in the sky and killed Vali.
5.Rama gave his gem studded ring with shine of hundred suns,
To the son of wind God when he was with Sugreeva,
And when he came back saw the spotless brooch of Sita,
From the auspicious one and met Vibeeshana in the sea shore.
6.He then constructed a bridge ,killed endless number of Rakhasas,
Then killed the very brave and mighty ten headed one,
And accompanied by Sita purified by fire reached Ayodhya,
And crowned himself as protector of the Universe and Padmanabha.
