Akkara goni madhi sokkikanumgona,

Nikkamu neevegrakkunabrovutha-,

1.With all directions saying you are great,

With great interest  , with my brain getting attracted,

I have come to see   you who are greatly stable,

And so please  come with your lustrous form to protect me,

2.Yenomu phalamo nee namamrutha,

Panamu anu sopanamu dorikkenu,

Sri Nayaka paramanandha nee sari,

Ganamu  sobhayamanangrulugala.

2.Due to some reason I got  to drink the nectar ,

That is  your name , possibly bymy penance,

Oh consort of Lakshmi , , Oh divine  joy,

WE have never anything  as lustrous as you.

3,Yogi hrudaya neeve gathiyenu jana-

Vagadheya vara vogesa  sayana,

Bhagawatha priya, Thyagaraja nutha,

Nagachakamupai Baguga nelagonna.

3.Oh Lord who is in the mind of Yogis,

It is great luck for those   people  ,

Who say that   you are their protection,

Oh Lord  praised by  Thyagaraja,

Who is standing well on the mountain called Nagachala.
