Janaka sutha kucha kumkuma — pangitha lanchanu re re. Baliharure khaga vahana — kancheepuri nilaya — kari rakshaka bhuja vikrama — kamitha phaladaya — karivarada kalyana — Perundevi manoharure — karigiri nivasure.
Meaning:
Oh! Rama, decorated by the kumkum that is Sita, the daughter of Janaka. You are the one who killed emperor Bali. You have Garuda as your vahana. You granted boons to Gajendra. You are the lord of the auspicious Lakshmi. You reside in Karigiri.
