English Translation

Pallavi

Salutations to the Sun God, the Lord of the pretty Chaya

Anupallavi

The cause of all actions, illuminator of the world, Lord of Simha Rasi,
He who gives luster to the gentlemen, He who is noted as giving health.

Charanam

Friend of Lotus, Friend, resplendent one, God with thousand rays, Father of Karna,
The fire wiping away cruel sins, He who makes Guru Guha shine,
He who is praised by the knowledgeable, the head jewel among the planets like moon,
He who is the witness of acts of brave, the holy star who rides on chariot drawn by seven horses,
He who is the soul of eight syllabled chant, He who is golden in colour,
He who is the soul of Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva and he who gives salvation and wealth.
