Kasicchaethe  goppayenuraa kalilo  Rajulakku

Pallavi

In the Kali age  , kings think  that giving money is great

Anupallavi

Haridasulu  sevimparanusu  Prabhuvulu  ,

Dhaya  maniri   para menchaka  boyiri.

Anupallavi

They avoided compassion to the devotees of God,

Thinking that they would not salute them,

They also avoided   the thought  of other divine  world.

Charanam

Rajangamu  koragu   nalgu  jathula  , Rakshana  parasukhamo ,

Rajasulai  sanmarga  meruga paraagu  seya ganamo,

Aa janmamu   goliche  vipravarulo  ka anandamu galatho   THyaga,

Raja vinutha   nee mayad=gaani   nee  rajanayana   sujanaga   vimochana.

Charanam

For ruling  the country  , is it sufficient to look after  the four  castes,

With increasing  Regal character  , without knowing the good path  ,

Would  sacrificing    Dharma  , give rise   to progress?

Would Brahmins who serve rich people    from birth get joy  ?

Oh Lotus eyed one  , who removes sins  done by good people,

All these   are   but  result of illusion and nothing else .
