Kannada Composition by Kanakadasa
English Translation by C.P. Ravikumar
O mother, Goddess Uma Maheshwari,
Who bestows knowledge to the seeker,
Whom do you hide inside?
The son of the enemy of the God of Love,
Sporting a mighty elephant trunk,
The one who leads his groups with pride?
O he is the one with a dark face,
With ears the size of winnows,
And a molar that juts out wide
The son of the one with three eyes,
The one who owns a piece of moon,
His groups he leads with a stride!
He ties his dress
With a snake as a belt,
The bravest among the brave
Sporting a large belly,
The son of the throne-queen of Lord Shiva,
He leads the groups with a wave
He is a mountain of knowledge,
Has no desire for women,
A figure of letters is He!
He must be the one who serves
Adikeshava of Kaginele
Who serves the people with glee!
