[HariKrishna]

Has anyone a translation?

[rshankar]

In the pallavi, the last word should be kRshNamUrtE.
Pallavi: Oh husband (patE) of rukmiNi, lord kRshNa!
Anupallavi: who is the beloved (prItE) of his devotees (bhaktajana), who is sought for refuge (SaraNAgatE)
Pallavi: one with a face (vadanE) like the lustrous moon (candrakAnta), and a form (rUpanE) with beautiful (sundara) parts (anga). One who smiles gently (mandahAsa karanE), and assumes (dharanE) the form (rUpa) of all the mantras.

A true sanskRt and tamizh maNipravALam kRti!

[HariKrishna]

Thank you! Is the language not entirely in Sanskrit?

[rshankar]

Except for a few words in tamizh, the rest are in sanskRt.
