Pallavi
Gana nayagan thunai yaguvaan,
Gandharwa veda sangeetham pada


Anupallavi

Phani raja kankana pani- Sankara,
Thanaya mangala karaka


Charanam

AAdhara sruthi neengamale,
Anniyargal pani varamale,
Kedara ragam Gambheera ragam,
Ketta pinnar mayai ongamale


English translation

Pallavi

For singing the Gandharava Veda music,
The lord of music would help me.

Anupallavi

He who wears the king of serpents as armlet,
Who does auspicious acts to son of Shiva.

Charanam

Without the basic sruthi slipping away,
Not imitating the style of any other stranger,
The regal raga, the Kedara raga,
Once heard would remove all illusions.
