Pallavi

Swaralaya bhava ragaswaroopini
Swara mandala mandira vasini
Sharade veena visaradhe (Swara)

She who is the temple of swaras and has the form of Raga and Bhava
She lives in the orbit of the temples of Swaras,
She is Sharada, an ace in playing Veena.

Anupallavi

Gandara madyama grama nivasini
Daivatha nishada moorchana karini
Panchama rahitha raga vichaarini (Swara)

She who lives in between the Gandhara and Madhyama Swaras,
She who makes the Daivatha and Nishada swaras fade,
She who thinks about Ragas without Panchama.

Charanam

Thanthree laya gana moksha pradayini
Gana sudarasa niratha pravahini
Brindavana venugana visharada
Sree Krishna dasa krutha gana malini (Swara)

She who builds a wire between laya and Gana and leads to salvation,
She who is the endless flow of the essence of nectar like music,
She who is an expert in the music of flute of Brindavan,
And She who wears the songs created by Krishna dasa as garland
