Translation:

I have been saved, indeed I am saved; all my worldly worries are over

The grace of Padmanabha’s sacred feet is bestowed upon me.

My tongue has received the holy water and the prasaada of Hari

My ears have tasted the nectar of Hari’s sacred names

The servants of Hari have become my kinsmen

The sacred mark of Hari has become my ornament.

Today my life has been granted all the riches

My life hereafter has become worthwhile
Shree kaaginele aadikEshavaraaya who is my father

Has come and settled in my heart.
