The feet worshiped by the celestial;
the hands that bestow freedom from fear;
lovable body that puts to shame the cupid;
O Lord praised by Lord Siva – the enemy of cupid!

Or those pristine of eyes!;
O Sacred worship worthy Lord of Tyagaraja!
is it possible to see anywhere such comeliness?

వర త్యాగరాజ వందనీయయిటువంటి- (సొగసు)
