English Translation

Pallavi
I always meditate on the son of Sun God,
Who moves slowly and who is very bold.

Anupallavi
He who is fearsome to people immersed in day to day life,
He who is the one who leads to very cruel results,
He who gives wonderful results to those devotees,
Who are subject to the vision of grace by Lord Shiva.

Charanam
He who has a shining body like the collyrium,
Brother of God of death, He who rides on a crow,
He who wears a blue dress and a garland of blue flowers,
He who decorated himself with blue gem stones,
He who is worshipped by Draupadi and makes Guru Guha happy,
He who is the Lord of Makara and Kumbha rasi,
He who likes rice mixed with Gingelly seeds and light lit with Gingelly oil,
He who is the sea of the nectar of mercy, He who is fearless,
He whose feet is affected by the stick of God of death,
He who is the wish giving cow of all that is desired,
He who is the splitter of the wheel of time,
He who is the son of Sun God and the artificial Chaya Devi.
