I shall at every instant (“palumAru”) and throughout my life (“cirakAlamu”) be worshipping (“pUjintu”) with joy (“santoshamuga”) the Transcendental Lord’s (“paramAtmuni”) feet (“pAdamulanu”) with tender tulasi (a type of sacred basil) leaves (“dalamulacE”).

I shall ever be worshipping (“pUjintu”) with joy (“santoshamuga”) the Transcendental Lord, the personification of righteousness, this Prince of Ayodhya (kingdom where Rama lived, “saketapura”), with tender tulasi (a type of sacred basil) leaves (“dalamula”). I shall garland Him with fragrant flowers like the lotus (“sarasIruha”), punnaga, campaka, jasmine (“mallikA”), and lily.
