Ragam  Suradi

Thalam Roopakam

Pallavi

Bhajana  parula kela danda,

Pani Bhayamu manasaa

Pallavi

To those   who are immersed in  singing,

Praise of Rama , where is fear of God of death?

Anupallavi

Ajarudra  suresula ,

Kaasthaana mosangu   Rama

Anupallavi

Oh Rama who gives   positions of power ,

To  Brahma  , Rudra   and Indra

Charanam

Anda kotlu nindina ko-

Dandapani   muka munu  hrud-

Pundareegamuna  joochi   pooja  salpuchu,

Nindu  prematho  garangu,

Nishkamulahu  vara  ve-

Danda palu   dasudaina ,

Thyagaraju   seyu nama

Charanam

To those sages  who daily  see  and worship the face  of Rama, the one who holds the staff ,

Which is filled by crores of universes  in their  lotus  like heart,

And having a heart which melts due to their matchless  devotion,

And to those who  get involved in  the music of Thyagaraja ,

Who is the slave  of that God who saved the king of elephants , where is the fear..
