The seven notes are the gems ties on his bow,

The great  Raga is his  bow called Kodanda,

The Gana ,Naya and Desya  are  its  strings,

The different thalas(beats)  are  the arrows,

The very entertaining Sangathis are  the proper language ,

And it  is our luck  to be able to worship,

This incarnation which was sung about  by Thyagraja.
