And who is known as   the God  of the seven sages.

The scene of Lord Shiva  in thought  coming towards Parvathi ,

Who had  emerald like green body, Who is divinely auspicious,

Charanam

Pallavamulanu thalukkanusu  birudhu,

Lella  meraya  nijabhakthulu  pogadaga,

Ballkilo venchesi   vachu.

Charanam

1.Like the devas you also with your very soft hands  throw flowers,

This  scene of Lord (panchanadheeswara) coming riding on a palanquin ,

Studded with nine types of gems, decorating his white coloured body,

Shining with several ornaments and  Chrysanthemum  garlands ,

Coming at this very cool time  is difficult to see

2.Hithamaina  sakala  naivedyambula sam-

Mathamuna  adukaduku karagimpusu,

Mithamuleni  yupacharamulatho ,

Nathi  santhoshamuna   sathathamu  ja-,

Pa  thapamula   nonarinchu,

Natha  janula  kabheeshtamu  lavvariga,

Vethaki yosagudhu  nanusu panchanadhi.

Pathi  vedali  sogasu  meeraga  vachu  .

2.This scene  when Lord Panchanadheeswara  comes in a pretty manner,

Accepting several kinds of sweet offerings  with great liking,

Being treated with countless gestures of hospitality, with great joy saying ,

 “I would search and grant  desired boons to  large number  of devotees,”

Is difficult to see .

3.Bhagavadhulu   hari nama  keerthanamu  ,

Baguga   suswaramulatho   vindha,

Ragamulanu  yaalapamu   cheyu  vai-

Bhoga   mulanu  joochi,

Naga bhooshanudu  , karunanidhiyai,

Vegamu   sakala  sujana rakshanamuna  ,

Jagaroogudai  korkella   nosagu ,

Thyagaraju  thaananusunu vachu.

3.The sea of mercy , the lord who decorates himself with a snake  ,

Seeing the great musicians   singing with  proper tones ,

Using  various types of  tunes the names   of lord Hari ,

Became  deeply concerned  in protecting all  good people,

And  was  coming  in a procession saying “I am the ,

Thyagaraja who fulfills    all your wishes” and,

This scene is difficult   to see.
