Pallavi

Sri Lakshmi Varaham Bhajeham,
Sri Lakshmi Sahitham,
Sritha Jana Shubha pradam.

I pray that Lakshmi Varaha,
Who is along with Lakshmi.
Who does good to his devotees.

Anupallavi

Neela Megha Ghana Shyamala gathram,
Neela bhoodevi sthuthi pathram,
Neelakanta Shiva GUruguha mithram,
Akhila Bhaktha jana Bhayarthi dathram.

He who has a body of rich blue cloud,
Who is prayed by the blue goddess earth,
Who is the friend of Blue necked Shiva and Lord Subrahmanya,
And who removes the fear and pain of all his devotees.
Pankaja mukha Bhargavee bhavitham,

Charanam

Mangala aalaya Abhoghi nutha padam,
Pungava budha jana nadham, veda nutham,
Sankara priya karam, Khubhera prathishtitham,
Sankha chakra dharma, Krupaa karam,
Pankajasana pramukha sevitham,
Bhanga hara Thamparaparni theerastham,
Sankata hara sadananda sahitham.

He whose feet is worshipped by singing Abhoghi,
Who is the lord of very great and learned persons, who is saluted by Vedas,
Who makes Lord Shiva happy, who established Khubera,
Who holds the conch and wheel, who does merciful acts,
Who is served by great one who sits on a lotus,
Who destroys sorrow and makes us forever happy.
Who destroys divisions. who stays on banks of Thamrabharni.
