English translation

Pallavi

Yasoda gave birth to a boy , who exists no where,

From now on what   problem does she have?

Anupallavi

If we tell her explaining things, it would be a mistake,

Hey friend , Why should we get unnecessarily involved?

Nandagopa   is one who is blessed,

For helping  the full auspiciousness  of his clan Yasoda…

Charanam

For  getting this  boy , without any doubt,

How many penances    she did,

For  fulfillment of her desires without any problems,

How many charities and gifts has she given?

How many temples   including,

Kasi , Ganges  and Rameswaram has she seen?

As  an immediate   result, She gave birth ,

To this clever blue boy who steals  curd and milk  from rope storage.
