Gana vinodhini samanamu
jagana gana namma devi

Charanam

1,Kannatalli kada na vinnappamu vinavamma,
Pannaga bhooshananiki Rani,
Ninnu vina ilalo dara Verevru unnaramma,
Bangaru bomma

2.Indu mukhi neevu varamulosagi,
Na mundu vachi daya sayayamma,
Kunda mukundaradhana himagiri Kumari,
Kaumari Parameshwari.

3.Samaja gamana neevu thamasamannu cheyyakka,
Shyama Krishna Sodari rave ,
Kama palini , bhavani ,
Chandra Kala Dharini, nirada veni.

English translation

Pallavi

Protect me Meenakshi,
And why this hesitation, Oh mother,
To protect this oppressed one.

Anupallavi

Goddess who enjoys music who has no equals in this world,
In music oh our Goddess.

Charanam

1. Are you not my mother, please hear my requests,
Oh queen of the God who decorates himself with snakes,
In this world who else is there, golden idol.

2. Moon faced one, grant me boons,
After appearing before me and
Show mercy on me,
Goddess With jasmine like teeth,
Who is the daughter of Himalayas,
Who is forever a lass and the greatest Goddess.

3.Your gait is like an elephant ,
Please do not make delay
And come Oh sister of black Krishna,
Who wears the crescent on her cloud like tresses.
