Verse 1
मुद्दुगारे यशोद मुङ्गिटि मुत्यमु वीडु ।
तिद्दरानि महिमल देवकी सुतुडु ॥

This darling child glowing with charm in Yashoda's courtyard is a priceless pearl; he is the son of Devaki, whose glories are perfect beyond all retouching.
Verse 2
अन्त निन्त गॊल्लॆतल अरचेति माणिक्यमु ।
पन्त माडे कंसुनि पालि वज्रमु ।
कान्तुल मूडु लोकाल गरुड पच्च बूस ।
चॆन्तल मालो नुन्न चिन्नि कृष्णुडु ॥
anta ninta golletala aracēti māṇikyamu ।
panta māḍē kaṃsuni pāli vajramu ।
kāntula mūḍu lōkāla garuḍa pacca būsa ।
centala mālō nunna cinni kṛṣṇuḍu ॥
To the cowherd women all around, he is the ruby glowing in the palm of the hand; to the defiant Kamsa, he is the unbreakable diamond of destiny. He is the emerald whose lustre fills the three worlds — little Krishna who dwells right here in our midst.
Verse 3
रतिकेलि रुक्मिणिकि रङ्गु मोवि पगडमु ।
मिति गोवर्धनपु गोमेधिकमु ।
सतमै शङ्ख चक्राल सन्दुल वैडूर्यमु ।
गतियै मम्मु गाचेटि कमलाक्षुडु ॥
ratikēli rukmiṇiki raṅgu mōvi pagaḍamu ।
miti gōvardhanapu gōmēdhikamu ।
satamai śaṅkha cakrāla sandula vaiḍūryamu ।
gatiyai mammu gācēṭi kamalākṣuḍu ॥
In loving play he is the bright coral of Rukmini's lips; he is the hessonite gem in the form of the measureless Govardhana hill. He is the cat's-eye jewel shining forever between the conch and the discus — the lotus-eyed Lord who is our refuge and our keeper.
Verse 4
कालिङ्गुनि तललपै गप्पिन पुष्यरागमु ।
येलेटि श्री वेङ्कटाद्रि यिन्द्रनीलमु ।
पाल जलनिधि लोन बायनि दिव्य रत्नमु ।
बालुनिवलॆ दिरिगी बद्म नाभुडु ॥
kāliṅguni talalapai gappina puṣyarāgamu ।
yēlēṭi śrī vēṅkaṭādri yindranīlamu ।
pāla jalanidhi lōna bāyani divya ratnamu ।
bālunivale dirigī badma nābhuḍu ॥
He is the topaz that spread over the hoods of the serpent Kaliya, and the blue sapphire that reigns as Lord of Sri Venkatadri. He is the divine gem never parted from the ocean of milk — Padmanabha himself, wandering about like a little boy.
