Nirainthu nindrai, asura palanai kaatida,

Nadanthu chendrai, kanni sapamum agathida,
Ninaivoru nangaikku arul churanthai,

Madhyama Kalam

Paranthu nadanthu ini nonthida vendaam .
Pada malar padiyum adimai yenakkun.

English Translation

Pallavi
Only your smile is enough,
For it would be a feast in this and other world,
And it is also the medicine.

Anupallavi
Oh God with incomparably pretty shoulders,
Your smile with the lady sitting on your colourful chest.

Charanam

You stood everywhere to show your strength to asuras,
For showing your concern to the elephant you flew,
For removing the curse of the day you went walking,
And your showered your grace on another girl who just thought about you.

Madhyama Kalam

Do not tire yourself by flying or walking from now on,
For the sake of this slave who is bowing before your lotus like feet.
