Please give me the protection of your hands, Lord Venkatesa

Who with gracious words grants boons to devotees praising him,

Whose conch like neck shines with necklace of precious stones,

And the bright stones on his shoulder light greatly the horizon.

Sri Venkatesa mama dehi Karavalambam.                      8

Please give me the protection of your hands, Lord Venkatesa

Who is the divine soul with two hands and applied with sandal paste,

Who has long hands glittering  because of the bracelets,

And who is fulfiller of desires with wrist bands made  of serpent king .

Please give me the protection of your hands, Oh Lord Venkatesa

Who is the god who supports the universe and is the ocean of mercy,

And kindly  lift me up  who is sunk in the middle of the sea of life,

And grant me in large measure that which would increase spiritual merit.

Please give me the protection of your hands, Oh Lord Venkatesa

Whose holy body is made pretty with coating of heavenly colour,

Whose body is attired in yellow silk, who shines like the young sun,

Who has Brahma on his navel and who ties a cloth on his waist.

Please give me the protection of your hands, Oh Lord Venkatesa

Whose waist is securely tied with a belt made of gems,

Whose knee resembles mirrors made of  rubies,

And who enchants the entire world  by his two legs.

Lokaikapavana sarit parishobhithange,

Twat pada darasana, dine cha mamaghameesa,

Harda thamascha sakalam layamapa bhooman,

Please give me the protection of your hands, Oh Lord Venkatesa

Whose feet is washed by the universally purifying waters,

And the day that I catch sight of your holy feet, my sins,

As well the darkness in my mind gets dissolved and disappear.

Daridrya mapayapagatham sakalam dayalo,

Deenam samanam  samavalokya dayardra drushtya,

Sri Venkatesa mama dehi Karavalambam.                      13

Please give me the protection of your hands, Oh Lord Venkatesa

When you saw this poor me with your merciful eyes,

All my enemies, lust  and other evil passions departed,

And the poverty which was attached to me also vanished.

Sri Venkateswara pada pankaja shadpadena,

Sriman Nrusimha yathina rachitham jagatyam,

Ye that pathanthi manuja purushothamasya,

They prapnuvanthi paramaam padavim Murare.              14

This ode which was offered at the holy feet of Venkatesa,

Was composed for the world by the Sri Narasimha yati,

And those men who happen to read this ode addressed to the God,

Would reach  the great state of  the world of Murari.

Ithi Sringeri Jagatguruna,

Sri Nrusimhabharathi swamina Rachitham,

Sri Venkatesa Karavalamba stotram Sampoornam.

Thus ends the Sri Venkatesa Karavalamba Stotram,

Composed by Sri Nrusimha Bharathi,

Who was the teacher of the world at Sringeri.
