ನಿಜದ ನಿಜ ನೀನಂತೆ ನಿಜವೆನಗೆ ತೋರಬಾರದೇ?

ಅಜಜನಕ ವಿಜಿತಮಾಯ!

ಕಿವಿಯ ಕಿವಿ ನೀನಂತೆ ಕಂಡಿಲ್ಲ ಮೊರೆ ಕೇಳಿದಂತೆ

ಕವಿವಿನುತ! ಗಗನಸದೃಶ!

ಕಣ್ಣಿನಾ ಕಣ್ಣಂತೆ ಕಂಡಿಲ್ಲ ಪರಿ ಕಂಡ ಭಾವ

ಕಂಜಾಕ್ಷ! ಲೋಕಸಾಕ್ಷಿ!

ಮನದ ಮನ ನೀನಂತೆ ಅನಿಸಿಲ್ಲ ಮನಕೆ ನಾ ಬಂದಂತೆ

ಮನದಿನಿಯ! ಅಮಿತಮಹಿಮ!

ಪ್ರಾಣದೊಳಗಣ ಪ್ರಾಣ ಪ್ರಿಯದೊಳಗೆ ಪ್ರಿಯವಲ್ತೆ?

ಪ್ರೇಮದಾ ಕುರುಹೆಲ್ಲಿ ಪ್ರಾಣನಾಥ?

ಕಿವಿಗೊಟ್ಟು ಕಣ್ಣಿಟ್ಟು ಮನಗಂಡು ಮಮಕರಿಸಿ

ಕನಿಕರಿಸು ಸಿರಿದೇವನನು ಕೇಶವ!

It is said that You are the Truth of theTruth.

Will You not show me the Truth?

father of brahma,Conqurerer of illusion.

It is said that You are the ear of the ear,

It does not seem that You have heard the

plea,served by the poets,{you are}

comparable to the sky.

It is said that You are the eye of the eye

It does not seem

that you have seen the plight.

Lotus eyed, You witness all our actions.

It is said that You are the conscience of the conscience

It seems You are not conscious of me.

Sweetheart, immeasurably Great

Is it not the spirit within the spirit

most beloved?

Where is the memento of Love? Lord of life?

Listen,look,ascertain, ,be supportive

be kind,to siridEva, KEshava,
