Ragam jingalaa

THalam Aadhi

Pallavi

Anathudanu  Gaanu Rama

Pallavi

I am not an orphan, Rama

Anupallavi

Anathu davu neevani  nigamajnula,

Sanathanula   mada vinnanu  nay

Anupallavi

I have heard  experts  in Vedas  ,

Tell that , you are the one who is an orphan

Charanam

Niradharavu joochi  yee kali,

Naradhamulaneru,

Purana Purusha pura ripu nuthana-

Garatsayana , Thyagaraju nutha  , nay

Charanam

Noting that I do not have support,

The  basest  humans of this kali age ,

Called me as orphan, Oh primeval God,

Who is worshipped by Shiva  ,

Who sleeps on king of snakes  ,

And who is praised by  THyagaraja
