Graha peetala Pancha papamula naa,
Grahamulu kala kamaadhi ripula nee,

English translation
Pallavi
Oh Rama, what is the power of planets,
Only the power of your blessings is real power
Anupallavi
What is the power of the nine planets,
To those who meditate on the statue of God.
Charanam
My planets and the five type of sins incite,
The six enemies like passion and anger,
But these can be easily won over by singing about Hari,
By Thagraja and those who pray like him.
