3.Seeing  that  the  Lord  with a moon like face,

Was shining  on the bed  of Adhi Sesha ,

When Sita the  daughter  of earth  was pouring incense,

With Rama  giving the boons  to those   who believed  in him,

By just  seeing him with a corner  of the eye,

Who  was sitting with Thygaraja giving him ,

Again and again   folding Thamboola and  giving him.
