I salute  him , who is the essence of Sama veda,

The greatest among the Vedas which gives great joy.

Charanam

Sathyojathadhi Pancha vakthraja,

Sarikamapadani vara saptha swara,

Vidhya lolam vidalitha kalam,

Vimala hrudaya Thyagaraja balam.

Charanam

Him  who has the sastra  of the  seven notes,

Born from the five faces starting from Sathyojatham,

Who has won over God of death  , and ,

Who looks after Thyagaraja with a good heart.
