Manda hasa vadanam,

Abhinava guru guha nanditham anantha keerthim

English Translation

Pallavi

I pray to the Lord of Seshachala,
Who gives very special results.

Anupallavi

He who is prayed by Goddess Saraswathi,
Lord Sesha and other devas,
Who decorates himself with Kousthubha gem,
And who is decorated in very many different ways.

Charanam

Lord who has a smiling face,
He lives in those with pure hearts,
He wins over God of love in beauty,
He is Mukunda and killer of Madhu,
He has eyes like the lotus leaf,
He is Govinda and sleeps on a snake,
He is meditated by crowds of devas and those with good heart,
He is the Narayana of the musical sound.
Madhyama Kalam
He is saluted by Indra and other devas,
The guardians od directions and sages like Sanandhana,
He is praised by the young Guru Guha and has endless fame.
