Charanam

THammudu Badalina   vela  sura ripu  themmani   chakkera bancheeyaga ni,

Lemmanu sunu  INdrari balka samayammani levagaa,

SAmmathitho nilabadi Kodanda pujya goshamu  lasunula   jesithaa,

Nemmadhigala thodunujoochenuraa, nijamaina  Thyagaraja  nudhudagu

Charanam

At the time when his younger brother (Lakshmana) fell, the enemy of devas,

Started distributing sugar, Indrajit seeing this  and ordered his army men to get up  ,

And  they also did so  thinking that it was proper time, and Lord TRama,

Who is saluted by  Thyagaraja stood of his own accord,

And made twanging sound by his bow Kodanda like which resembled  thunder ,

And saw with joy his brother  who got up getting rid of his tiresomeness.
