With all kings   riding  on horses  and doing service to  him ,

Wearing the lustrous ornaments embedded with Nava Rathnas   , This Ranga Rajan

Charanam

Cauvery theeramannu   pavanamagu   Ranga purini,

Sri Velayu   chithra veetheelo   vedukaka   Raga,

Sevanu  kani  soorulu   virula che   premanu   poojinchaka,

BHavinchu  Thyagaraja Padaga   Vaibhoga Ranga

Charanam

In the banks of Cauvery in the holy city of Sri Rangam,

In the  auspicious Chithra Veethi(street)  , when you were  coming with enthusiasm,

Devas seeing it worshipped you with flowers,

And were meditating and singing   the song  of Thyagaraja, Oh  celebrated  Ranga.
