Pallavi:

Anupallavi:
palumAru cirakAlamu paramAtmunipAdamulanu

Charanam:
sarasIruha punnAga campaka pATala kuruvaka karavIra mallikA sugandha rAja sumamula
dhara nivi oka paryAyamu dharmAtmuni sAkEtapura vAsuni shrI rAmuni vara tyAgarAja nutuni

Meaning: (courtesy: ):
I shall at every instant (“palumAru”) and throughout my life (“cirakAlamu”) be worshipping
(“pUjintu”) with joy (“santoshamuga”) the Transcendental Lord’s (“paramAtmuni”) feet
(“pAdamulanu”) with tender tulasi (a type of sacred basil) leaves (“dalamulacE”).

I shall ever be worshipping (“pUjintu”) with joy (“santoshamuga”) the Transcendental Lord, the
personification of righteousness, this Prince of Ayodhya (kingdom where Rama lived, “saketapura”),
with tender tulasi (a type of sacred basil) leaves (“dalamula”). I shall garland Him with fragrant flowers
like the lotus (“sarasIruha”), punnaga, campaka, jasmine (“mallikA”), and lily.

Pallavi:
tuLasI daLamulacE santOSamugA pUjintu

I shall ever be worshipping (“pUjintu”) with joy (“santoshamuga”) the Transcendental Lord with tender
tulasi (a type of sacred basil) leaves (“dalamulacE”).
