Pallavi

Vara raga layanjulu thamanusu vadharerayaa

Pallavi

Thinking that they are experts in  blesses Raga and Laya,

They keep on babbling about it

Anupallavi

Swara jathi  moorchana bhedhamul,

SWanthamandhu deliyukayundina

Anupallavi

Though  they are ignorant of the  differences,

Between Swara, Jathi and Moorchana   in their mind

Charanam

Dehodhbavambagu nadhamul,

Divyamou  pranavakaramane,

Dahsmberungani manavul,

THyagarajanutha  yeseru Rama.

Charanam

Without  having any desire  in understanding that

The musical notes  emanating from our body are   only,

Forms of the Pranava(Om) , the people torture,

Others and live Oh Rama, praised  by Thyagaraja.
