Charanam

Seegadi   chethanu  gasi  jendhiyi  logulu  sakala karmalakai mana,

Raka koraku  jooche  dharani  thelisi  vibhakarudu   madhini,

Pragadamuga dhaaraanu   chellunani vyagaludai  athi vega munthu,

Veguva   jamuna  doshamu   kalaganu  thaa  karuna  narununi  banupa ledha.

Charanam

1.Thinking that people suffering due to darkness are expecting  ,

His arrival to do  the morning rituals, Sun after   becoming sad,

Deciding that   his coming  in a real way in the morning ,

Would be better, did he not sent in the early morning,

Aruna so that   all the people    became    happy?

2.Neeruleka  sajjanaganamulu  manadarini joocheranuchu thelisi  ka-,

Veri thanu  ranu  jellunanuchu  vichara  hrudhayuralai,

Saregu   vachunanusu  santhoshamuveerulakellathu  galga  badamati,

Marutha  chanchalamula  banipi chalamaloora   jeya  lethaa Rama?

2.Thinking that without water the good people are looking ,

For an alternative path ,  did not river Cauvery,

Getting greatly worried, to make   them all  happy,

Send the western  mountain slopes and ,

Make several   springs    rise  up there  ?

3. Garvinchina  ya Rvana badhala norvalekanu  Vibheeshanudu  ninnu,

Sarva loka saranya vandana mana nirvikarudai  neevu,

Sarvadhaa  rakshinchedha nanusunu  sarva bhouma lankadhi pathya munu,

SarvajanuniLakshmanu  nammanagaa sarva sannutha THyagarajuni

3. Did not Vibheeshana  who was not able to bear    the troubles ,

Given to him by the proud Ravana tell you , “oh lord   to whom,

The   whole world surrenders, you are  my only protection  “

And  did not you give him your word “I would always protect you”,

And made him the  king of  Lanka  by asking Lakshmana to do so.
