Pallavi

Adu kaararathani  balka  nabhimanamu   leka poyenaa

Pallavi

Did you not have sufficient affection towards me,

To say  that  “It would not   happen that way.”

Anupallavi

Yedulorthunuo daya jooda vayyaa,

Ye velpu  seyu   chalamo thelisi

Anupallavi

How can I tolerate this?, please look at me with mercy,

Please tell me as to which God did this harsh thing?

Charanam

Veda Sasthra Upanishad vidhudaina,

Nija darini  batti dasudaina,

Nadhu pai  nepamenjithe  , Thyagaraja nutha.

Charanam

Though I am an expert in Vedas , Sasthras and Upanishads,

And though I was following the correct path  and am your slave ,

If you find fault with this  Thyagaraja who is your  devotee, What can I do,
