Lyrics:
Pallavi
maṇi nūpuradhāri rājagopāla kaṅkaṇa kiṅkiṇi gaṇa

Anupallavi
maṇi gometaka lohi taganīla marakata vāla vāyuja jāla
makuṭa virājita cigura manohara mudira samakara kalepara kiṅkiṇi gaṇa

Translation:

Pallavi
One who is wearing gem-studded anklets around the feet, collections of tinkling ornaments and bracelets on the arm, Rajagopala!

Anupallavi
One who is wearing a set of pearls like Gomedaka, red ruby, blackish emerald, and Lapis Lazuli, whose tresses and radiant crown are enrapturing the devotees, whose body is of the colour of the clouds.
