Pallavi

Innavum sandeha padalamo Isha

Anupallavi

Ponnambalam thannil thandavam aadiya,
POn kazhalai ninavil ,
Vaikka theridhu naan

Charanam

Annamayamenum kosham thannile ,
Andhanar mudal pulavar binnam arave thonudhe,
Anri bhedamondrum kanen,
Thannai arigindra thavame peridhendru daraniyil,
Gopala Krishnan sonnadellam marandu,
Maya chuzhilyile vizhundu uzhandru,
Kavizhnda niyai Shiva shiva nee.

English translation

Pallavi

Oh God, should I suspect you even now

Anupallavi

Having known that you danced in the golden temple,
And with the memory of your golden anklets, in me,
Should I suspect you even now?

Charanam

In the Annamaya Kosha, I am seeing,
Differences between a Brahmin and lower caste,
But I do not find difference any where else,
Forgetting that Gopalakrishna told,
That the prayer of knowing oneself is the greatest,
And falling in the whirlpool of illusion,
And falling down, Oh Lord Shiva,
Should I suspect you even now?
