Charanam
Kapalesa sahithe , apara guna mahithe,

English translation
Pallavi
Parvathi without a leaf , to whom one surrender,
And one who heals and takes away their pain
Anupallavi
One who is merciful , one who holds the Trishula,
A matchless beauty and consort of Shankara
Charanam
One who accompanies the God with skull , one who is full of divinity,
One to whom great kings were devotees,
One who does good and is saintly and daughter of Daksha.
Translations to English of the lyrics of Krithis of Carnatic music , which are tomes of devotion.
Oh. What a pleasant surprise!!
