Oh wife of the God who burnt Manmatha  , I am greatly insignificant .

Who is praised by all Vedas, though you are enemy of the strong  , grant me strongly great results,

After fondling me.

Prakugaa joodarathu Sri Raghu varabdhudakku, Thyagaraja vinuthe.

3,Oh Goddess who pervades on  moving and not moving beings,

Come speedily taking the green parrot   in your lotus like   hand,

Please do not see indifferently   the Thyagaraja   who is a friend of blessed Rama.
