सुखकर्ता दुःखहर्ता वार्ता विघ्नाची ।
नुरवी पुरवी प्रेम कृपा जयाची ।
सर्वांगी सुंदर उटी शेंदुराची ।
कंठी झळके माळ मुक्ताफळांची ॥Sukhakartā duḥkhahartā vārtā vighnācī.
Nuravī puravī prem kṛpā jayācī.
Sarvāṅgī sundar uṭī śendurācī.
Kaṇṭhī jhaḷake māḷ muktāphaḷāñcī.सुख देने वाले, दुख हरने वाले, जो विघ्नों का नाम तक नहीं रहने देते; जिनका प्रेम और कृपा सब पूर्ण करती है। उनके सारे अंग सिन्दूर के लेप से सुन्दर हैं और गले में मोतियों की माला चमक रही है।
Giver of happiness, remover of sorrow, who leaves no trace of obstacles; whose love and grace fulfil us. His whole body is beautiful with a coating of sindoor; a garland of pearls shines at his throat.

Big-bellied, in yellow silk, with a serpent for your girdle; straight trunk, curved trunk, three-eyed one. Ramdas, your servant, waits for you at home: come to me in trouble and protect me at the last, O you who are worshipped by the gods.
