English Scholarly Translation
You who grant all the good things, To those who bow at your feet, Was worshipped by the Lord Vishnu, Who took the pretty lovable feminine form, And could move the mind of he who burnt the cities, And make him fall in love with him. And the God of love , Manmatha, Took the form which is like nectar, Drunk by the eyes by Rathi his wife, After venerating you, Was able to create passion , Even in the mind of Sages the great. 5
