Pallavi:

Sahityam: "pAvanaguru pavana purAdhIshamAshrayE"

Meaning: "I seek refuge in the pure teacher ('pAvanaguru'), the pure ('pavana') lord of the sacred city ('purAdhIsham')."

This line is an invocation, expressing devotion and surrender to a divine figure, Lord Krishna, who is seen as a pure and guiding force.

Anupallavi

Sahityam: "jIvana dhara samkAsham krSNam gO-lOkEsham bhAvita nArada girisham tribhuvanAvanO vEsham"

Meaning: "Like the sustainer of life ('jIvana dhara'), Krishna ('krSNam'), the lord of Gokula ('gO-lOkEsham'), contemplated by Narada ('bhAvita nArada'), the lord of the mountains ('girisham'), in the guise of the protector of the three worlds ('tribhuvanAvanO vEsham')."

Caraṇam

Sahityam: "pUjita vidhi purandaram rAjita muraLIdharam vraja lalanA nandakaram ajitam udAram"

Meaning: "Worshipped in the right way ('pUjita vidhi'), the glorified bearer of the flute ('rAjita muraLIdharam'), the joy-giver ('nandakaram') to the women of Vraja ('vraja lalanA'), the unconquered ('ajitam') and magnanimous ('udAram')."

Sahityam: "smara shata shubhakAkAram niravadhi karuNApUram rAdhA vadana cakOram laLitA sOdaram param"

Meaning: "Remember ('smara') the one of a hundred auspicious forms ('shata shubhakAkAram'), endless ('niravadhi') in compassion ('karuNApUram'), like the cakora bird to Radha's face ('rAdhA vadana cakOram'), the playful ('laLitA') brother ('sOdaram'), the supreme ('param')."
