This kriti has been popularised by Dr. M. Balamurali Krishna (Cassette from Sangeetha, “Sri Padmanabha”).
Oh the spouse of SITA- the daughter of mother earth; Please protect me. Oh the repository of compassion, your feet are venerated by INDRA and others.
Oh JAGADISVARA! The sovereign of the universe! Please reside in my heart forever. You vanquished a host of enemies. You sport a bow and arrow.
You are bedecked with exquisitely beautiful yellow raiment, which outshines even gold. You care for the welfare of noble ones and protect them. You destroyed RAVANA, the one with ten heads. You are gorgeous like crores of Cupids. Your sidelong glance confers the desired boons on those who worship your feet. Your face shines like the pleasant moon.
You are surrounded by many brave monkey warriors. You remove woes of your devotees. Your soft sweet smile is legendary. You are the ornament of humanity. Your rich tresses are adorned with fragrant PARIJATA flowers. Eyes resemble the autumnal lotus. Oh immaculate Lord! You relieved the anxiety of SUGRIVA the son of sun god. You are extold by SIVA.
Your lovely form outshines the gem sapphire, with great expertise. Oh distinguished among men! Your arms are stately and long like a serpent. You conquered PARASURAMA. Your forehead is beautiful.
