Lyrics In Kannada:


ಮರುಳು  ಮಾಡಿಕೊಂಡೆಯಲ್ಲೇ  ಮಾಯಾದೇವಿಯೇ ।।ಪ।।
ಇರುಳು ಹಗಲು ಏಕವಾಗಿ ಹರಿಯು ನಿನ್ನ ಬಿಡದಿಪ್ಪಂತೆ ।।ಅ.ಪ।।

ಪ್ರಳಯ ಕಾಲದಲ್ಲಿ ಆಲದೆಲೆಯ  ಮೇಲೆ  ಮಲಗಿದ್ದಾಗ 
ಹಲವು ಆಭರಣಗಳು  ಜಲವು ಆಗಿ ಜಾಣತನದಿ ।।೧।।

ಸರ್ವಸಂಗ ಬಿಟ್ಟು ಸನ್ಯಾಸಿಯಾದ ಕಾಲಕ್ಕೂ 
ಸರ್ವದಾ  ತನ್ನೆದೆಯ ಮೇಲೆ ಬಿಡದೆ ನಿನ್ನ ಧರಿಸಿಪ್ಪಂತೆ ।।೨।।

ಎಡಕೆ ಭೂಮಿ ಬಲಕೆ  ಶ್ರೀಯು ಎದುರಿನಲ್ಲಿ ದುರ್ಗಾದೇವಿ 
ತೊಡೆಯ  ಮೇಲೆ ಲಕುಮಿಯಾಗಿ ಬಿಡದೆ ಮುದ್ದಾಡಿಪ್ಪಂತೆ ।।೩।।

ಮಕ್ಕಳ  ಪಡೆದರೆ ನಿನ್ನ ಚೊಕ್ಕತನವು ಪೋಪುದೆಂದು 
ಪೊಕ್ಕುಳೊಳು ಮಕ್ಕಳ ಪಡೆದು ಕಕ್ಕುಲಾತಿ ಪಡುವಂತೆ ।।೪।।

ಎಂದೆಂದಿಗೂ ಮರೆಯೆ ನಿನ್ನ ಆನಂದದಿ ಜನರಿಗೆಲ್ಲ 
ತಂದು ತೋರೆ  ಸ್ವಾಧೀನ ಪುರಂದರ ವಿಠ್ಠಲ ರಾಯನ ।।೫।।

Meaning of the song:

Hey MAYADEVI (mAyAdEviye), how could you manage (mADikoMDeyalle) to lure (maruLu) and attract?
HARI (hariyu) won't be able to leave (biDadippaMte) you (ninna) day (hagalu) and night (iruLu) stay together (EkavAgi)


when HARI was sleeping (malagiddAga) on the banyan-leaf (Aladeleya mEle) during the destruction (praLaya kAladalli) of this world
you cleverly (jANatanadi) managed to transform (Agi) many (halavu) ornaments (AbjaraMagaLu) into water (jalavu)


YOU made HIM to establish (biDade dharisippaMte) YOU (ninna) at (mEle) his heart (tannedeya) at all times (sarvadA)
even during (kAlakkU) renunciation (saMnyAsiyAda) by rejecting (biTTu) all companionship (sarvasaMga)


EARTH (bhUmi) on HIS left (eDakke), WEALTH (shrIyu) on right (balake) and DURGADEVI at front (edurinalli)
and YOU as LAKSHMI on HIS lap (toDeya mEle) with so much care and love(biDade muddADippaMte)

YOU loose (pOpudeMdu) your (ninna) beauty (chokkatanavu) if you get (paDedare) children (makkaLa) in normal way
getting (paDevaMte) compassion (kakkulAti) by giving birth (makkaLa paDedu) through the navel (pokkuLoLu)


I will never (eMdeMdigU) forget (mareye) YOU (ninna) please bring (taMdu) PURANDARA VITHALA
who is in your possession (svAdhIna) and show (tOre) HIM to all people (janarigella) with pleasure (AnaMdadi) .
