Avatharam  , sri  Krishna  avatharam,

Akhila bhuvanam   ananda  kadalada,

Amarar  ulagam athu  pozhuthu  uravada

Nikhila veda  murai pada , mozhi kooda,

Neraka  kanjanin nenjam uravadum

Incarnation, the incarnation of Krishna,

The entire universe  dancing  in sea of joy,

At that time   the world of devas showing  friendliness,

With ll the vEdas  being sing, with  language  merging,

Directly   would  show friendliness to mind of Kamsa

Anupallavi

Bhuvi bharam   thanai therkka,

Poomakal   murai  kondarkka,

Thavamellam devaki   cherkka,

Than thvamanathum vasudevan yenni parka,

Thamarai anthana  manathuvoi,

Thadamengilum  kandha

Kamanayaana   characharamananthu,

Kannan uruvayum   yenniyatho yena

For   reducing the  load of the earth,

When goddess  earth went and complaines,

With Devaki adding  all her penance,

With Vasudeva  rethikiing about all his penancl,

Did it become every where  like lotus,

Did  on all sides  god filled up,

Did the world of  all beings,

Think about   for  of lord Krishna

Charanam

Vada Madurai maa nagar yengum thoonga-Chirai,

Vasalil iruntha nisacharar  thoonga,

Dhidamudaya  kanja rajanum   thoonga,

DEvaki vasudevan  chinthayil onga,

Thikiri  sankha   chenthamarai  gadahyum,

Thikazhu vana  malayoduy, kousthubha mani ,

Makara  kundala keyura haaramodu,

Matha nagai pottiyida madhavabnukhandha thiru

With the big city of northern Mathura   sleeping,

With the nigh watchmen who were  in gate of  prison sleeping,

With the strong  king   kamsa   also sleeping,

With  the lord   becoming active in mind of devaki and vasudeva,

Wearing chakra, conch  , red lotus as well as mace,

Wearing   the forest garland, the kausathubha gem,

The fish like   ear globes along with the crown,

The other ornaments   competing with them , to Madhava  (incarnation..)
