Lyrics In Kannada:

ಕಂಡೇ  ನ  ಗೋವಿಂದನ 
ಪುಂಡರಿಕಾಕ್ಷ  ಪಾಂಡವಪಕ್ಷ ಕೃಷ್ಣನ ।।ಪ।।


ಕೇಶವ ನಾರಾಯಣ ಶ್ರೀ ಕೃಷ್ಣನ 
ವಾಸುದೇವ ಅಚ್ಯುತಾನಂತನ 
ಸಾಸಿರನಾಮದ ಶ್ರೀ ಹೃಶಿಕೇಶನ 
ಶೇಷಶಯನ ನಮ್ಮ ವಾಸುದೇವಸುತನ ।।೧।।  ।।ಪ ।।


ಪುರುಷೋತ್ತಮ ನರಹರಿ ಶ್ರೀ ಕೃಷ್ಣನ 
ಶರಣಾಗತ ಜನರಕ್ಷಕನ 
ಕರುಣಾಕರ ನಮ್ಮ ಪುರಂದರವಿಠಲನ 
ನೆರೆ ನಂಬಿದೆನು  ಬೇಲೂರ ಚೆನ್ನಿಗನ ।।೨।।   ।।ಪ।।
