ūduva siri pòṃgòl̤alò jagadādhārada nija hòl̤èyò pādada pòṃgèjjè thal̤ilò sarva vedagal̤arasuva kalpaka sèl̤alò
Is it the blowing, honeyed flute — the true splendour that upholds the world? Is it the ringing anklets on Your feet — the wish-fulfilling shoot sought by all the Vedas?
Verse 5 — कस्तूरि तिलकद मदवॊ मकुट मस्तकदि झगझगवॊ विस्तरदि… कस्तूरि तिलकद मदवॊ मकुट मस्तकदि झगझगवॊ विस्तरदि पॊत्त जगवॊ परवस्तुवु नंद यशोदॆय मगुवॊ

Is it the hand that holds the butter — ever-new, enchanting adornment? Is it the heaven-descended wish-tree — the splendour of a hundred suns set in a ring?
Verse 7 — आनंद सुज्ञानद हृदवॊ शुभ मानवरिगॆ बलु मृदुवॊ आनन… आनंद सुज्ञानद हृदवॊ शुभ मानवरिगॆ बलु मृदुवॊ आनन छवियॊळु मिदुवॊ पापकानन दहिसुव पावक पदवॊ

Is it the heart of bliss and true wisdom — so tender to the good? Is it the soft glow of Your face — the fire-feet that burn the forest of sins?
Verse 8 — त्रिजगदधिक पावननॊ पंकज नेत्रॆय नायकनॊ अजभवादिगळ… त्रिजगदधिक पावननॊ पंकज नेत्रॆय नायकनॊ अजभवादिगळ जनकनॊ नम्म विजयविठ्ठल यदुकुमारकनॊ

Are You the purifier beyond the three worlds — consort of the lotus-eyed one? The father of Brahma and Shiva? Our Vijaya Vittala, the Yadava prince?
