I worship Him, the embodiment of sound, from the joy of His feet.

ಜ್ಞಾನವೆಂಬೋ ನವರತ್ನದ ಮಂಟಪದ ಮಧ್ಯದಲ್ಲಿ ವೇಣು ಲೋಲನ ಕುಳ್ಳಿರಿಸಿ ಧ್ಯಾನದಿಂದ ಭಜಿಸುವೆ

In the pavilion of the nine jewels called knowledge, I meditate and worship Him who plays the flute enchantingly.

ಭಕ್ತಿರಸ ವೆಂಬೋ ಮುತ್ತು ಮಾಣಿಕ್ಯದ ಹರಿವಾಣದಿ ಮುಕ್ತನಾಗ ಬೇಕು ಎನ್ನು ಮುತಿನ ಆರತಿ ಎತ್ತುವೆ

bhaktirasa vèṃbo muttu māṇikyada harivāṇadi muktanāga beku ènnu mutina ārati èttuvè

Bhakti-rasa is the necklace of pearls and rubies; I yearn for liberation and wave the ārati of pearls.

I will never leave You, nor will You ever leave me — O Vijaya Viṭhala of mighty glory, hear the call of Your devotees.
