Charanam

1,With Dumburu  , Narada   and others  were singing your good characters,

With Ambareesha and other great people    singing   your name.,

And showering Jathi   flowers  on you  ,

With  deva maidens with  red lips like  Bimba fruit   dancing  ,

With lotus born Brahma , Indra  and others   standin on both  your sides,

And  chanting and praising    the titles   of the  God,

With  the maids of the sky  making “Gal” sound  from their bangles ,

On both their hands     and fanning    from both sides,

With gem studded  necklaces waving , looking at Hari,

Who was lying down on the serpent  bed moving about.

2.Marakatha mani  sannibha  dehambuna ,

Merugu  kanaka chelamu shobilla ,

CHaranayuga  nakaavali  kaanthulu,

Jandhuru   pillalalanu   gera ,

Vara noopuramu   veluga  garayugamuna,

VAjrapu bhooshanamulu   meraya  ,

Nuramuna  mukthahaaramulu  mariyu,

Uchithamaina  makarakundalambulu  ,

Chiru navvuulagula  vadhamnambuna  mung,

Guru laddhambu kabolamu  muddhu ,

Guriyu divya  paa   lampuna  dilakamu,

Merase  bhuvi  lavanya  nidhini  gana.

2.With the golden colour Peetambara shining   on your body shining like  blue gem,

With   the shine of the nails of  your feet defeating    the shining  of the moon,

With  the great anklets shining, with diamond ornaments  in the hands shining,

With pearl necklaces on chest   and makara ear  studs  in  the ears  shining ,

With  the forelocks of  hair of  the  smiling face   and his mirror like    cheeks,

And  with thilaka on  the beauty dripping foreheads  shining,

The God was a complete collection of beauty and his service

3.THamasa guna rahitha  munuluku   bogada,

Daramugaakane   bramisi    nilvaga,

Sri math  kanakapu dotlapaini  ,

Cheluvandhaga  goluvundaga  ,

Kamitha phala dhayakiyou   Sita-

Kanthuni  gani yupongaga  ,

Rama Brahma thanayudow   Thyaga-

Raju   thbadusu noochaga  ,

Ramuni  Jagad uddaruni   sura ripu,

Bheemuni   trigunaatheethuni  Boorna  ,

Kamuni  chinmayaroopuni   sadguna  ,

Dhamuni   kanulaaraa   madhini  ganugona.

3.With  sages who have left out Thamasa nature   unable to describe him standing aghast,

With him sitting regally on the  golden swing   along with great prettiness  ,

With Sita who fulfills all desires   seeing her consort   and getting elated ,

And with THyagraja the son of Rama Brahmam   singing himself and rocking  the swing,

Looking at  Rama   who controls his senses ,   who  protects   universe  ,

Who destroys the Rakshasas , who is above  the three  fold characters,

Who is one with fulfoilled wants , who has a  divine form,

And who is the treasure  house of all good qualities , to the hearts content
