Anupallavi

After receiving the great worship of  Lord of Saraswathi,

When he starts   performing a great dance  ,

Charanam

Panasa narikeladhi Jambu phalamula  aarakinchi,

Ghana tharabukanu mahi pai padam mulu gallu gallunanchi,

Anayamu  Hari charana yugaalunu hrudayambujamunnumchi,

Vinayamuna thyagaraja vinithudai vividha gathula,

Thalangummani vedalina.

Charanam

After eating jack fruit , coconut and  Jamun fruits,

And after keeping his feet  with force  on the earth  making jingling sound,

When he is praised  by Thyagaraja who always keeps the  feet of Lord Vishnu,

On his lotus like heart ,  when he departs ,

Making various great steps  in the art of dancing.
