1.Yekkuva   neevani   thikkulu   pogadaka,

Akkara koni   madhi sokki   kanugona.

Nikkamu   neeve grakkuna   Brovu,

THalukkani   nerase  SAkka thanamu gala

When people of al directions praise   you as the greatest,

Attracted in my mind by desire , when I come,

You should protect me definitely in an urgent manner,

Oh  pretty  God , who shines  greatly  and gives out light

2.Ye nomu  balamo   , nee namamrutha,

Panambanu   sopanamu   dorikenu  ,

Sri Nayaka  , Paramanandha    nee sari

Ganamu   Sobaya   manangruthu  kala

I do not as a result  of which penance,

That I got the stair to climb to the necatar of your name?

Oh Lord of Lakshmi , oh divine joy m, there is none,

Equal   to your feet   which shines.

3.Yogi hrudaya  neeva gathi   yanu   Jana,

Bhaga dheya, Vara Bhogeesa Sayana,

Bhagavatha priya , Thyagaraja  nutha,

Naga chalamu pai bhaguka   nela konna.

3.Ogh God who lives in heart of Yogis,

Oh luckwho is considered as their  only protection by people,

Who lies down on the blessed  king of serpents,

Who likes devotees, who is praised by Thyagaraja,

Who stays well on the snake like mountains.
