Vikasitha  pankaja vadanulu  vividha  gathula  naadakka,

Sukaravumula gala  tharunulu  sokga sugaa nu badaga ,

SAkala surulu  Thyagaraja  saguni  vedaga vache.

Charanam

With  ladies  with faces like fully opened  lotus flowers dancing as per varied beats,

Holding each other’s hands and looking   at him using the corner  of their eyes,

Singing using their sweet voices   which could compare  to that of parrots,

In a  great manner, with devas worshipping When that  Lord Krishna  ,

Comes in a procession being praised   by Thyagaraja,
