Oh mother BHARATI!, the spouse of BRAHMA, may you be victorious. Kindly protect me, you are infinite.
You reside in the lotus which is incomparable. Your smile surpasses the beauty of jasmine buds. Your story is praised by the pure hearted sages. You overflow with charming excellences.
You are a maiden with locks, dark like the rain clouds. Your hands are like the tender leaves of celestial trees. You give boons and courage. You always do good. You shine like a full autumnal moon. Oh VANI! Your eyes put to shame those of the doe. You are full of compassion. You are expert in looking after the welfare of those who take refuge in you. Your speech is sweet like the life giving nectar.
Your forehead is decorated with the dot of camphor. You are adorned with lovely white silk garment. You are auspicious. You are the essence of VEDA-s. you are always favourable to good people. You reside in the lotus hearts of sages. You remove the stains from the hearts of devotees.
You remove the massive ignorance of your devotees. You delight in serving lord PADMANABHA. You are always resonating with the melody of the VINA. Make my mind take shelter at your feet. You give delight to DEVA-s. you sport the moon and the dove. You have no difference between people. Your face is always cheerful. Kindly take your abode in my heart.

(Translation by Dr. T.K Govinda Rao)
