English meaning

Pallavi
If we see there, there is Rama,
If we see here, here is Rama,
Wherever we see it is Ramachandra

Charanam
1.As soon as they saw the Moola Bala (army) of Ravana,
The monkey army ran away in fear,
At that time, deciding that he should not be a mere man,
God Ramachandra manifested himself all over the world.

2. To him another one appeared as Rama,
And to the other one he appeared as Rama,
And was there any other form in this world?
And, in no time, completely confused and deceived,
The asuras fought with themselves and died.

3.The good people like Hanuman joined together,
Jumped, jumped and danced with joy,
And immediately the Purandara Vittala
Stood alone as Rama in the end
