Who named you after knowing that   you are the   one  in this world  who removes the sorrows

Of those  who pray to him and that you are  one  who grants  happy life

THalasi karagi  chira kalamu  padamula,

DAndamidina  nayeda  Dhaya ledhaye.

Anupallavi

Don’t you have mercy on me   who thought  about you and melted ,

And for a long time am saluting your feet , Why has it been cut off?

Charanam

Kara charana   yugamu  nosalu bujamulu,

Darani sokamrukkaga  ledhaa?

Charananusunu  moralida letha?

Charanam

Did I not salute you with my two hands and legs,

Forehead and  shoulders touching the ground?

Did I not beseech you  that you are my only protection?

Oh God of  five rivers praised     by Thyagaraja.
