Meaning: (Courtesy: http://www.admadhavan.com/)
Oh, Mind ("maanasa") ! Undertake your pilgrimage ("sancharare") in the Brahmam !
May the hairlock of Brahma ("madashiki"), meditated upon by you, be adorned ("alankrutha") with the
plumes of an exhilarated peacock ("chikure") !
The cheeks ("mukure") of the Supreme One ("mahaneeya") outwit ("vijita") the brightness of a mirror
("kapola") !
He sports ("vihare") around with ("durga") Mahalakshmi ("sriramani")! For his devotees ("sevaka"),
He is a Kalpavriksha ("mandaare") in the court yard ("mandira")! Supreme ("parama") ascetics
("hamsa") delight in that face-moon ("mukha-chandra") as a partridge bird ("chakore")!
Oh, Mind! May your pilgrimage be in this Brahma that fills ("paripooritha") the whole Universe with
the flow of the music from His flute ("muraliravadhare") !

Pallavi:
Maanasa Sancharare Brahmani Maanasa Sancharare

Oh, Mind ("maanasa") ! Undertake your pilgrimage ("sancharare") in the Brahmam !
