Balamuna theliya letha

Kaka thaithyu neka sarmuna neya,
Kanja jasthramai paraa letha,
Srikara dwijulai thaari neruga leni
Chintha neeku dosa demi Thyagaraja nutha

English Translation

Pallavi

Did not the chants Bala and Athibala,
Greatly shine in you, Oh consort of Lakshmi

Anupallavi

Did you who is worshipped by Indra,
Not know the strength and weakness of your people.

Charanam

Did not the arrow you sent against Kakasura,
Get altered in to the great Brahmasthra,
Why is that you are not worried that ,
The Brahmins have lost their way, says Thyagaraja.
