1. As the splendour of the golden diadem is radiated, as the pair of beautiful ear-rings sway, as the pair of beautiful anklets jingle, and as the sages Sanaka and all others exult beholding You, O Lord Ramachandra! Deign to come cautiously.


2. As the rows of necklaces of perfect shaped pearls sway (on Your chest), as Brahma – the Consort of Sarasvati – and Indra extol You on both sides, O Lord Ramachandra! Deign to come cautiously and slowly on the steps of precious stones, as the spectacle goes on, hearing the notes of music on lute.

3. As the parrot in the hand of Parvathi – Your sister - who comes to see You – speaks of Your mights to the exultation of the minds of the devotees, as all the celestials – dwelling in heaven - shower plenty of flowers, O Lord Ramachandra! Deign to come cautiously so that this blessed Thyagaraja may behold You as Your charm oozes.
