Pallavi
Sundari nee divya roopamunu jooda tanaku dorikenamma

Anupallavi
Manda gamana needu kataksha balamo
mundati pujaphalamo tripura

Charanam 1
Bhuvilo varamou Srimadadi puramuna nelakonna nee sogasu vini su vivekulaina brahmadi suralu gumpu goodi
Kavi vasarapu seva kanugona kaluguna yani karaguchu madilo
divi dattaramu paduchu nundaga deena janarti harini tripura

Charanam 2
Kali lo deena rakshaki yani sabha kaligina tavuna bogadudu namma
salalita guna karuna sagari nee sati evaramma
Alasi vachchinanduku na manasu hayi chenduna yani yundaga mari
kala kala mani sura satulu varusaga goluchu Sukravarapu muddu tripura

Charanam 3
Nanu ganna talli na janmamu nedu saphalamaye namma ipudu
ghana daridruniki paikamu vale kanulapanduvuga
vanaja nayana endu pairulaku jalamu vale subha dayaki kama
janakuni sodari Sri tyagaraja manohari gouri

Meaning:

O Goddess Tripura Sundari,I am fortunate to witness your divine appearence.

O Mother,your gait is gentle.Unique opportunity of your Darsanam is either due to the power of your compassion or due to the prayers I performed in my previous births.

Hearing about your power in dispelling afflictions of helpless,Brahma and other celestials earnestly crave for your grace.How fortunate Iam to be blessed with your Darsan at Adipuram.

I'll extole before all that you are the savior in Kaliyugam. Your qualities are gentle.You are ocean of compassion. Who is comparable to you?I've come with great expectation in my heart. I am fortunate to see celestial women coming in grandly to worship beautiful Tripura Sundari on auspicious Friday.

O Mother Tripura Sundari,today the purpose of my life is fulfilled. It is like the joy of a poor man who found treasure.It is like shower of rain on drying crop.You are sister of Maha Vishnu the father of Manmadha and you are auspicious.O Mother Gouri,you captured the heart of Tyagaraja.
