Asaindhadum Mayil Ondru Kandaal.......

Nam Azhagan Vandhaan Endru Solvadhu Pol Thondrum

When you see a peacock that is dancing with movement, It appears as if, it is telling that the pretty one has come.

Isaipadum Kuzhal Kondu Vandhan

Intha Erezhu Piravikkum Inba Nilai Yhandhan,

Disai Thorum Niraivaga Nindran,

Endrum Thigattadha Venu Ganam Radahiyidam Eendhaan.

He brought a flute that sings music, He gave me a state of sweetness to fourteen rebirths, He stood in all directions, completely occupying it, He gave the music of the flute to Radha, That will never make a feeling of excess at any time.

Engagilum Enadhu Iraiiva Iriva Ena,

Mana Nirai Adiyavaridam Thangu Manathudayan,

Arul Pongum Mugathudayan,

Oru Padam Vaithu, Maru Padam Thooki Nindarada

Mayilin Iragada Makara Kuzhaiyada Mathi Vadanamada

Mayakkum Vizhiyaada Malar Snikal Aada Malar Magalum Pada

Idhu kanavo nanavo ena mana nirai munivarum magizhndu kondada

Who has a mind to stay with devotees with the satisfied mind, Staying somewhere and shouting, “My God, my God,” Who has a face that shows ebbing grace, Who keeps one leg on the floor and lifting up the other and dancing, With feathers of peacock shaking, with earrings shaking, With face moving here and there, with the bewitching eyes moving, With ornaments of flower moving, with goddess Lakshmi singing, With satisfied sages celebrating telling, “Is this true or a dream.”

Asai podum aavinangal kandu,

Andha adhisayithil silai pola nindru,

Nijamana sugam endru ondru –irundhal,

Eerulagil idhai andri veru edhuvum andru,

isai Padum gopalan endran indru irundu ezhundu

nadamada edhir nindru radhai pada.

Who on seeing the cows eating their food, Stood like a pillar on seeing that wonder, And felt that if there is a thing called real pleasure, In these two worlds, it is not anything but this, Told Gopala in all the six directions, And started dancing sitting standing and walking. With Radha standing opposite him was singing,

Engagilum enadhu iraiiva, iriva ena,

Mana nirai adiyavaridam thangu manathudayan,

Arul pongum mugathudayan,

Oru padam vaithu, maru padam thooki nindarada,

Mayilin iragada makara kuzhaiyada mathi vadanamada,

Mayakkum vizhiyaada malar anikal aada malar magalum pada,

Idhu kanavo nanavo ena mana nirai munivarum magizhndu kondada

Who has a mind to stay with devotees with the satisfied mind, Staying somewhere and shouting, “My God, my God,”, Who has a face that shows ebbing grace, Who keeps one leg on the floor and lifts up the other and dancing, With feathers of peacock shaking, with earrings shaking, With face moving here and there, with the bewitching eyes moving, With ornaments of flower moving, with goddess Lakshmi singing, With satisfied sages celebrating asking, “Is this true or a dream.”
