Pallavi

Victory to the  Lord Who stays  in  city of Sriranga,

Who took the incarnation of Rama,

Who has  hero of the    Raghu clan.

Anupallavi

He  who is the father  of Manmatha, the God  of Brindavana ,

The one who protected  king of elephants,

Who is the very dear one   to  Goddess Lalshmi ,

Who has a  black body, whoi traveled on a bird ,

Who has a vision of mercy  and who was  in company  of  good people.

Charanam

He was the moon of the dynasty of Sun who is a  friend  of Lotus,

Who   had a lotus  like face , Who is the  Rama who was crowned,

Whose lotus like face wins over cupid, who is Rama  of clan of Raghu,

Who has the blessed Sita     occupying his left   lap,

Who sleeps on serpent  God, Who makes devotees  happy,

Who has eyes like sun and moon,  Who speaks  soft words,

Who has  blemish less mirror like cheeks , Who is destroyer of sorrow  of sages,

Who is Govinda, Venkataramana   as well as  Mukunda,

Who  draws together   , who is the root cause  ,

 And who is  the one   who gives joy  to  Guruguha*  the Guru  of  Lord Shiva  ,
