Translation

Fret not, O Mind! Be patient

He will protect everyone, there is no doubt about it.            |Pallavi|

Who was it that tended and watered the tree

that grew on a hill top?

As He is responsible for your existence,

Firmly He will look after you, have no misgiving                   |1|

Who was it that fed the animals and birds

that roam in the forest?

Just like your own Mother, He will take the onus

to care for you without fail.                                                    |2|

Who nourished the worms and insects

that were born on a stone?

The lotus-eyed Adi Keshava of Kaginele

will protect everyone, there is no doubt about it.                  |3|
