Would it  be even possible to understand,

Your greatness  by the God who was born on lotus  flower.

Charanam

1.Saranagatha  jana rakshaka  sura pala muka , jitha sudhaa-,

Kara ninnu  Vibheeshanudu saranangaane,

Sura muni jana  vairi sahodharanudanusunu  yencaka nee ,

Birudu nu  bogadusu  Lankapura pathigaa jesina nee.

Charanam

1.Oh God who protects  those who surrender to youm, who looks after  devas,

wHo wins over moon in  by the beauty of your face, when,

Vibheeshana  surrendered to you without bothering   about ,

The fact that   he was the brother of Ravana who is the enemy of sages and  Devas,

You made  him the king of Lanka , making him praise   your greatness.

2.Sura poojitha padha needhu  vararoopamu gana jalaka,

Girija  ripu hara Sankara Soumithri,

Daraj anila thanaya vibhakara sutha dasa vadanananuja,

BHarathulu  pogadaga thommithi,

Guriki  divya   drushti  nichina

2.Oh Lord whose   feet are worshipped by devas , when Goddess Parvathy,

SAthrugna  , Lord Shiva,  Lakshmana , the daughter  of earth  , son of wind,

Son of sun god, Vibheeshana   and Bharata   were  ,

Not able to see   your great form, You   gave them divine  sight  .

3, Jalajaruna  charanasura  jaladha suka , sri Raghu kula,

Thilakathbudha  guna shubamulu   gala Thyagaraja,

Kula pavana   kali yuga  manujulakunu  nee tharakamu ni-.

Tala   nethruni   chethanu   veenula  balkanugaa  jesina.

3.Oh Lord who has red feet like lotus , the wind that blows   away,

The cloud called  asuras,  lord of the Raghi clanwho is filled with  ,

Surprising qualities, who sanctified the auspicious clan of Thyagaraja,

And who arranged  Lord Shiva to tell  the tharaka  Manthra ,

In the ears of the people   living  in Kali age  ,
