Why do people not  think that,

Getting your mercy  is luck?

Oh God whose form is music, who is like a cloud,

Who is the lord of the suffering  , Who is ornament of his clan  ,Who speaks  softly

Charanam

1.Avivekulaina Dara thanayula,

Anudhinamanu kalasi,

BHava sagaramunu   neetha leka,

Bhayamuna jeyyalasi ,

Avaneesula  gasi  sugamule  ,

Ka ayasamu solasi,

Vividha mulagu nee   maayaa lopala,

Thagilinathanakee yadhulanu  thelisi.

Charanam

1..After meeting daily with unwise  wife and sons,

Not being able to swim and cross this ocean of birth,

Hands getting weak due to fear  due  to  protecting the rich landlords.

Without pleasure , getting fainted due to tiresomeness ,

I have been caught  by your illusion and so please  tell  me my limits.

2.Vega lesi  thana athi  lobhi janula,

Vembadiga thirigi,

Rogiyai  thaa korina korikkalu  ,

Royaka  menu karagi  .

Bhoga bhagyamula  koraku anya surulu,

Bhoosurula  goi thirigi,

Ye gathiyu leka  ee sugam pu,

Vitlani thana mathini than  yerigi.

2.Getting up early  and wandering behind  very miserly people,

Becoming sick, not disliking   the wants  placed by  him self  and becoming weak,

Without demanding for enjoyment and luck ,wandering behind devas  and  other   Brahmins ,

Due to not having any other go, understanding that  these are what  one is fated.

3.Naga Nayaka   sayana Indu  dhina ,

Nadha   nayana seethanga,

Yogi vandhitha padaravindha,

Yuga  saraya akalanga,

Raga lobha  madhadula  kotti,

Rakshinche   birudanga ,

THaraka mani theliyu nichanga.

3. Oh God who sleeps on a serpent and has moon and  Sun as  his eyes,

Oh God who keeps Sita on his lap whose lotus like feet are  saluted   by  Yogis,

Oh God to whom devotees surrender  who does not  have any blemishes,

Who has the  fame   of   collecting and destroying   passion and hatred ,

You are truly the one who helps us  to cross the     sea of birth.
