1.Aa Vasudevana Kandha iva node,
Devaki basirolu banda,
Mava Kamsana kondha,
Bhava janayya Mukunda

2.Muthina aabharana thottu ,
Hasthadha kolala thottu,
Kasthuri thilakavanittu,
Thuthura turaremba nadhava pidiye.

3.Hindhe govugala hindhu,
Mundhe gopalara dhandu,
Hindakke daithyara kondha pu,
Randahra vittalanu chanda.

English translation

Pallavi
Our darling child of the Gopis,
Came singing on the flute
And the singing on the flute was very pretty.

Charanam
1.See , this is the baby of Vasudeva,
He came from the pregnancy of Devaki,
He killed his uncle Kamsa,
He is Mukunda giving freedom from birth.

2.Wearing ornaments of pearl,
Holding a stick in his hand.
Putting on a thilaka of musk,
And playing the sound of “Thuthuru turu”

3.The herds of cows behind,
The groups of cowherds in front,
And Having killed asuras before,
The Purandhara Vittala is pretty.
