Who saved sage who drank the ocean.

And is like a crore of Gods  of love

Gaja vara gamana kamneeyaana  nas,

Sujana ganaa vanaa  sundharadhana,

Gaja mukha   vinutha  karuna karach-.

Raja nayanas Thyagaraja    hrud sadana.

Charanam

He walks like a great elephant, has an attractive face,

Protects  good people, has pretty teeth,

Is being saluted by Ganapathy, merciful one ,

Lotus eyed one  and lives  in heart of Thyagaraja.
