pallavi
pahi rama duta jagatprana kumara mam
anupallavi
vahinisa tarana dasa vadana sunutanu harana
caraNam
tarunaruna vadanabja tapanakoti sankasa karadhrta raghuvara su-carana kalimalabhra gandhavaha
caraNam
ghorasura varannidhi kumbha tanaya krta karya parijata taru nivasa pavana tulya vega
caraNam
padavijita dusta graha patitaloka pavana veda sastra nipuna varya vimala citta satatam mam
caraNam
karunarasa paripurna kancanadri samadeha parama bhagavatarenya varada tyagarajanuta
