1. Haranethrotbhava agni swarupa amita parakrama atikeerte

Vara Naarada priya Valli Manohara vanditha abheeshta fala purte

Generated from Hara’s Netra (Shiva’s third eye), with the form of Agni (fire)
Renown for unparalleled valor
With the protection of Hari and Brahma, worshipped by the Devas, He is
The personification of compassion (karuna)
Dear to Naarada, the beloved of Valli, bowing down to Him Grants the desired rewards
Glory to Shanmukha, the annihilator of Sura’s clan (Surapadmasura).
May Sharavanabhava (the one who took form on Shara grass) protect us and liberate us.

12 hands each adorned with all weapons, He is the Divine One who protects
The suffering and the sorrowful
Decorated with divine ornaments, His face is like Manmatha which
Mesmerizes; the form of our Lord Kumara is beautiful
You are the one who can redress our sorrows, O 12 eyed compassionate One
