Oh Lord who saved the elephant, Who removes ,

The sins of devotees, who has  good and soft speech,

And who is blessed  with good  characters.

Maa ramaramana maravakuraa suku-,

Mara maa  rasanamuna  nee  namamu,

Marumaru balkanu dhayaseyumu.

1.Oh Lord who is the God of love among God of loves,

Please hear  my request, Oh consort of Lakshmi , do not forget  this,

Oh pretty one  , bless me  that   your divine name ,

Should  be in my toungue for ever.

2.Vari vari  manchiki  dhaginattu ,

Vari vari  bhagyamu  leevaa dhe-,

Vari varidhanila  sabarajee-,

Vari varijasana Janaka hare  .

2.Would you not grant luck  as per the merit,

Of  the good acts   by each and every one of  them,

Oh Storm which destroys the   cloud called  Rakshasas,

Oh Lord who is the father  of Lord Brahma and God of love .

3. Raja raja vanditha  padayuga dhina-

Rajaraja nayana  palithamara,

Raja raja  poojitha sri Thyaga-,

Rajaraja Raghava  nannu brovumu.

3.Oh Lord whose pair of feet is saluted   by the king of kings,

Who has the king of day and night as his eyes,

Who saved  the king of Devas, who is saluted by kings,

Oh king of  Thyagaraja,  Oh Raghava  protect me.
