Oh young lady who decorates herself   with the crescent of moon ,

Who destroys the disease of the cycle of birth.

1.Seele nanu Rakshimpa –Jaagele parama paavani Suguna,

Jaale   natha jana paripalana lole kanaka maya  suchele,

Kala vairiki priyamaina illalavai , indhu velasinanthukku,

Sri Lalithe  nee thanyudani  nanuku cHalugaa piluva valenamma

1.Oh good natured one, why this delay to protect me?, Oh divinely pure one,

Oh Goddess enclosed in net of good behavior  who is interested in

Protecting her devotees,  who wears  golden silk cloth,

For  shining in the temple here along with   the enemy of God of death,

Oh Lalitha you should with love call me as your son  very near to you.

2.Saare , sakala nigama vana  sanchaare,CHapalaa  koti nibha sareere,

DEvathanganaa   parivaare pamara jana dhoore ,

Keeravani  Sri panchanadha pura viharivai  velananthu kiga,

Naanera  kodulellaa  sahinchi  garaavimpavalenamma shive.

2.Oh the essence of everything   who walks in the forest of all Vedams ,

Who has a form which is like billions of lightning, whose maids are  deva maiden,

Who cannot be reached by the ignorant  , who speaks like a parrot,

Who roams round the town of Thiruvayaru  and has a temple there,

Please forget and forgive  all the wrongs done by me  and honour me.

3.Raame, Pranathaarththi haraabhirame , deva Kamini lalaame,

THyagraja Bhajana   sakame, Durjana gana bheeme ,

Naa manasuna  nee saranamula sadaa , nemamutho pooja  chesidhini,

Sri Rama Sodhari vai  velasina sri  shyamale , Dharma samvardhini.

3.Oh pretty one,who is every minute pretty to Pranatharthi  Hara,

Who is best among the Deva ladies, who likes the Bhajan of Thyagaraja ,

Who is scary to the crowd of evil ones, I worshipped your feet  in my mind,

 As per rules  always , Oh Shyamala(black one ) who was born as sister of Rama.
