Charanam

1,Inavamsamandhu  janiyinchina  ganaabha,

Kanaka maya    sela   dinakara koti shobha  ,

Vanaja nayana  akroora  varadaabja naabhaa,

Sanakadhi   nutha   sakala   sad bhaktha sulabha.

Charanam

1.Oh Lord  who was born in clan of sun, with colour of black cloud,

Who wears golden cloth , who shines  like crore  of suns,

Lotus eyed one , one who gave boons to  Akroora,

Who has a lotus on his belly  , who is prayed  by,

Sages like Sanaka  and who is easy to attain by true devotees.

2.Kara kalitha sara chapa  , Khara siro   harana,

Arunabja   nibha   charana  , asura madha harana  ,

Pura vairi vinutha sampoorna  sasi vadana  ,

Karuna rasaksha gatha kama  muni charana.

2.He who holds the bow and arrow in his hand  , who cut the head of Khara,

Who has feet like a  red lotus  , who destroyed pride  of Asuras,

Who is prayed by enemy of three cities, who has full moon face  ,

Who has eyes filled with  essence of mercy ,

Who is  beyond desires and one  whom sages seek protection.

3.Pudami varada  naadhu   pooja kai konumaa,

Kadu  nammuvaarinta   kalugu   sri karamaa ,

Kada kanti  choopu   nee kadhi   chala  Ghanama ,

Eda bhaya   jala   nannelu   kula dhanamaa.

3.Oh Lord who  gave boons to earth , please accept my worship,

You  are who make wealth   shine   in those   who firmly believed in you ,

Is it difficult for you to   give me a side long  glance.

How can I leave you , my family wealth  , accept me.

4Koti soorya  prabhalageru   mandapamu  ,

Chatugaa   nalankarinchi   nadhi  nela konumu,

Sati  doragani   sadhu jana   vandhya   videmu  ,

Mati matiki   nosagi  maravaka  goluthumu.

4.Please come in to   this  hall    which  shines,

Like one crore  of Suns and which is well decorated ,

Oh peerless lord  , who is  saluted  by pious people .

Again and again I will   offer you thamboola    and    serve you.

5.Anthu madhyambu   nanu   aparanji thonu  ,

Sundarambaina   manchamu vesinanu,

Andhu pai  jajulanu   amara  parichanu ,

Andhamou   nee  pada yugamu  battenu.,

5,In the middle   of that hall   I  placed,

A very pretty throne made of pure gold  ,

And on that  I spread jasmine flowers  ,

And then caught    your very great divine feet.

6.Asamana soora   mukthavalulu meraya  ,

Asamana   giri Madhya   kusumamulu   guriya  ,

Bisaruhaba  vaadhi  sura brunnda  kotlaraya ,

Asalaina   biridhulidi   yoochedhanu   sadhaya.

6.Oh matchless hero  , with  pearl garlands shining  ,

With flowers    raining    on that decorated hall  ,

With Brahma and other  devas greeting you  ,

I would swing you by telling   your true   greatness .

7.BHagawatha   sevalo  badaliyunnavu  ,

Raga virahitha   nanthu maravaga   boyyevu  ,

Bagaina   janakajaa  bhagyamaa   neevu  ,

Thyagarajuni   nindu dhaya chesi  brovu.

7.You have become tired in service of your devotees,

Oh Lord without emotions , you are likely to forget me,

Oh  luck of the great lady Sita, please show,

Mercy on Thyagaraja     and protect him.
