nirjara maṇidayā pāra vāra udāra sajjanaraghava parihāra

jewel among the deathless gods, a boundless ocean of compassion, generous, the remover of the good people's ills;

Verse 9 — arjunagòlidaṃdu dhvajavānisi niṃdu…

arjunagòlidaṃdu dhvajavānisi niṃdu mūrjagavarivaṃtè garjanè māḍidi

when you favoured Arjuna, standing hoisted upon his banner, you roared so that the three worlds took note;
