लवथवती विक्राळा ब्रह्मांडी माळा। वीषें कंठ काळा त्रिनेत्री ज्वाळा॥ लावण्यसुंदर मस्तकीं बाळा। तेथुनिया जल निर्मळ वाहे झुळझुळां॥

Lavthavati vikrala brahmandi mala, Vishe kanth kala trinetri jwala. Lavanyasundar mastaki bala, Tethuniya jal nirmal vahe jhuljhula.

Swaying, immense and fearsome, wearing the universe as a garland; his throat dark with poison and flame in his third eye. On his head sits the lovely young Ganga, and from there pure water flows murmuring.

जय देव जय देव जय श्रीशंकरा। आरती ओवाळूं तुज कर्पूरगौरा॥ जय देव जय देव॥

Jai Dev Jai Dev Jai Shri Shankara, Aarti ovaloon tuj Karpurgaura. Jai Dev Jai Dev.

Victory to Lord Shankara! I wave the aarti to you, O camphor-white one.

कर्पूरगौरा भोळा नयनीं विशाळा। अर्धांगीं पार्वती सुमनांच्या माळा॥ विभूतीचें उधळण शितिकंठ नीळा। ऐसा शंकर शोभे उमावेल्हाळा॥

Karpurgaura bhola nayani vishala, Ardhangi Parvati sumananchya mala. Vibhutiche udhalan shitikanth neela, Aisa Shankar shobhe Umavelhala.

Camphor-white, innocent, with wide eyes; Parvati is half of his body, and he wears garlands of flowers. Smeared with sacred ash, blue-throated: such is Shankara, beloved of Uma, in his splendour.

देवीं दैत्यीं सागरमंथन पैं केलें। त्यामाजीं अवचित हलाहल जें उठिलें॥ तें त्वां असुरपणें प्राशन केलें। नीलकंठ नाम प्रसिद्ध झालें॥

Devi daityi sagarmanthan pai kele, Tyamaji avachit halahal je uthile. Te tvan asurpane prashan kele, Neelkanth naam prasiddha jhale.

When gods and demons churned the ocean, the deadly halahala poison suddenly rose from it. You drank it down without fear, and so became famous as Neelkanth, the blue-throated.

व्याघ्रांबर फणिवरधर सुंदर मदनारी। पंचानन मनमोहन मुनिजनसुखकारी॥ शतकोटीचें बीज वाचे उच्चारी। रघुकुळटिळक रामदासा अंतरीं॥

Vyaghrambar phanivardhar sundar Madanari, Panchanan manmohan munijan-sukhkari. Shatkotiche beej vache uchchari, Raghukul-tilak Ramdasa antari.

Clad in tiger skin, bearing the serpent king, beautiful foe of Kamadeva; five-faced, enchanting, the joy of sages. He utters with his lips the seed of the hundred-crore Ramayana, the name of Ram, jewel of the Raghu clan, who lives in Ramdas's heart.
