पिळ्ळंगोविय चॆलुव कृष्णन |
ऎल्लि नोडिदिरि रंगन ऎल्लि नोडिदिरि |
pil̤l̤aṃgoviya cèluva kṛṣṇana |
èlli noḍidiri raṃgana èlli noḍidiri |
Have you seen the charming Kṛṣṇa holding the flute? Where have you seen Lord Ranga? Where have you seen him?

Verse 2 — ऎल्लि नोडिदरल्लि तनिल्लदिल्लवॆंदु बल्ल जाणरु |

ऎल्लि नोडिदरल्लि तनिल्लदिल्लवॆंदु बल्ल जाणरु |
èlli noḍidaralli tanilladillavèṃdu balla jāṇaru |
Wherever one looks, the wise say that he is present everywhere.

नंदगोपन मंदिरगळ संदुगॊंदिनलि |
चंद चंदद गोपबालर वृंद्वृंददलि |
सुंदरांगद सुंदरियर हिंदुमुंदिनलि |
अंददाकळ कंद करुगळ मंदॆ मंदॆयलि |
naṃdagopana maṃdiragal̤a saṃdugòṃdinali |
caṃda caṃdada gopabālara vṛṃdvṛṃdadali |
suṃdarāṃgada suṃdariyara hiṃdumuṃdinali |
aṃdadākal̤a kaṃda karugal̤a maṃdè maṃdèyali |
In Nandagopa's palace corridors, amidst groups of delightful cowherd boys, among beautiful maidens surrounding his graceful form, and amidst herds of charming calves.

Verse 4 — श्री गुरुक्त सदा सुमंगळ योग योगदलि |…

श्री गुरुक्त सदा सुमंगळ योग योगदलि |
अगमार्थदॊळगॆ माडुव याग यागदलि |
श्रीगॆ भाग्यनागि वर्तिप भोग भोगदलि |
भागवतरु सदा बागि पडुव राग रागदलि |
śrī gurukta sadā sumaṃgal̤a yoga yogadali |
agamārthadòl̤agè māḍuva yāga yāgadali |
śrīgè bhāgyanāgi vartipa bhoga bhogadali |
bhāgavataru sadā bāgi paḍuva rāga rāgadali |
In auspicious moments of eternal yogic practices, in the profound rituals performed in Vedic sacrifices, as the embodiment of prosperity in joyous celebrations, and in the melodies sung by devoted bhāgavatas with deep reverence.

Verse 5 — ई चराचरदॊळगॆ जनंगळाचॆ ईचॆयलि | खेचरेंद्रन सुतन…

ई चराचरदॊळगॆ जनंगळाचॆ ईचॆयलि |
खेचरेंद्रन सुतन रथद चौक पीठदलि |
नाचदॆ माधव ऎंब भक्तर वाचकंगळलि |
वीचुकॊंडद पुरंदरविठलन लोचनाग्रदलि |
ī carācaradòl̤agè janaṃgal̤ācè īcèyali |
khecareṃdrana sutana rathada cauka pīṭhadali |
nācadè mādhava èṃba bhaktara vācakaṃgal̤ali |
vīcukòṃḍada puraṃdaraviṭhalana locanāgradali |
Within the vast expanse of this animate and inanimate creation, on the chariot pedestal of the son of the celestial king, in the words of devotees fearlessly calling him "Mādhava," and in the gaze of Purandara Viṭhala's all-seeing eyes.
