Verse 1

अदिवो अल्लदिवो श्री हरि वासमु पदिवेल शेषुल पडगल मयमु ॥

adivō alladivō śrī hari vāsamu padivēla śēṣula paḍagala mayamu ॥

There it is — look, over there! — the abode of Sri Hari, shimmering with the ten thousand hoods of Adisesha. (The pilgrim, catching first sight of Tirumala, cries out in joy.)

Verse 2

अदॆ वेङ्कटाचल मखिलोन्नतमु अदिवो ब्रह्मादुल कपुरूपमु । अदिवो नित्यनिवास मखिल मुनुलकु अदॆ चूडु डदॆ मॊक्कु डानन्दमयमु ॥ अदिवो अल्लदिवो श्री हरि वासमु पदिवेल शेषुल पडगल मयमु ॥

ade vēṅkaṭācala makhilōnnatamu adivō brahmādula kapurūpamu । adivō nityanivāsa makhila munulaku ade cūḍu ḍade mokku ḍānandamayamu ॥ adivō alladivō śrī hari vāsamu padivēla śēṣula paḍagala mayamu ॥

That is Venkatachala, the loftiest of all — a hill so wondrous that even Brahma and the gods find it beyond compare. It is the eternal dwelling of all the sages; behold it, bow to it — it is made of pure bliss. There it is, the abode of Sri Hari, radiant with Sesha's ten thousand hoods.

Verse 3

चॆङ्गट नल्लदिवो शेषाचलमू निङ्गि नुन्न देवतल निजवासमु । मुङ्गिट नल्लदिवो मूलनुन्न धनमु बङ्गारु शिखराल बहु ब्रह्ममयमु ॥ अदिवो अल्लदिवो श्री हरि वासमु पदिवेल शेषुल पडगल मयमु ॥

ceṅgaṭa nalladivō śēṣācalamū niṅgi nunna dēvatala nijavāsamu । muṅgiṭa nalladivō mūlanunna dhanamu baṅgāru śikharāla bahu brahmamayamu ॥ adivō alladivō śrī hari vāsamu padivēla śēṣula paḍagala mayamu ॥

Right beside you — there! — stands Seshachala, the true home of the gods who dwell in heaven. Before your very courtyard lies the primordial treasure: with its golden peaks, the hill is filled through and through with Brahman. There it is, the abode of Sri Hari.

Verse 4

कैवल्य पदमु वेङ्कट नग मदिवो श्री वेङ्कटपतिकि सिरुलैनदि । भाविम्प सकल सम्पद रूपमदिवो पावनमुल कॆल्ल पावन मयमू ॥ अदिवो अल्लदिवो श्री हरि वासमु पदिवेल शेषुल पडगल मयमु ॥

kaivalya padamu vēṅkaṭa naga madivō śrī vēṅkaṭapatiki sirulainadi । bhāvimpa sakala sampada rūpamadivō pāvanamula kella pāvana mayamū ॥ adivō alladivō śrī hari vāsamu padivēla śēṣula paḍagala mayamu ॥

That Venkata hill is the very seat of kaivalya, of liberation; it is the wealth and splendour of Sri Venkatapati himself. Contemplate it — it is the embodiment of all prosperity, the purifier of even the purest. There it is, the abode of Sri Hari, shimmering with Sesha's ten thousand hoods.
