Pallavi
Oh Elephant faced god in whom mercy lives,
Who is son of Shiva, who has a big paunch and is pretty

Anupallavi
Oh Goddess who is bowed to by Aja as well as king of devas and sages,
I surrender, surrender to your lotus like feet.

Charanam
You are the only support to the three worlds,
You are the ultimate meaning of Vedas of Shaivites,
You are the only support to my life,
Please shower your grace , Oh god with a good face , Oh God who has the form of Om.
