Pallavi:
I vasudha nIvaNTi daivamu nendu gAnarA
Anupallavi:
bhAvukamu galgi vardhillu kOvUri sundarEsha girIsha
Charanam:
AsacE ara nimiSamu nI puravAsa mOnara jEyuvAri madi
vEsaTa lellanu dolaginci dhana rAsula nAyuvunu bhUsura
bhaktiyu tEjamunu nosagi bhuvanamandu kIrti galgajEyu
dAsavarada tyAgarAja hrdaya nivAsa cidvilAsa sundarEsha
Meaning: (approximate – please report any mistakes!)
In this (“ee”) world (“vasudha”), where can I (“nendu”) see (“gAnarA”) a God (“daivamu”) like you
(“nIvanTi”)?
Bestowing boons (“bhAvukamu galgi”) and causing everything to grow (“vardhillu”), O Sundaresha!
You reside in Kovur, O Siva of Kailasa mountain (“girIsha”)!
One who bestows grace on those (“mOnara jEyuvAri madi”) who reside (“vAsa”) affectionately
(“AsacE”) event for half (“ara”) a minute (“nimishamu”) in your place (“nI pura”). You remove all
their sorrows (“vEsaTa lellanu dolaginci”), grant (“nosagi”) wealth (“dhana”), longetivity of life
(“rAsula nAyuvunu”), devotion (“bhaktiyu tEjamunu nosagi”) to Bhusuras and fame(“kIrti”) in this
world(“bhuvanamandu galgajEyu”) for them. Bestower of boons on devotees (“dAsa-varada”)! One
who resides(“nivAsa”) in this Tyaagaraaja’s heart (“hrdaya”)! Embodiment of bliss (“cidvilAsa”)! O
Sundaresa!
