Meaning:
pallavi
The Almighty is radiant in the auspicious streets of Tirumala. The beauty of his attire is
greater than the great things known
caraNam 1
On the first day of the celebrations, the Lord is parading on beautiful flower garlands
On the second day, he has arrived on the great snake, Seshu
On the third day he delighted under the canopy made of pearls
And on the fourth day, the Lord came in a temple of flowers
caraNam 2
Right after, on the fifth day, the parade continued with the God on the great Eagle,
Garuda
He ascended the elephant on the sixth day
On the seventh day, the Lord was splendent like the Sun
On the eighth day, the Lord mounted the horse
caraNam 3
On the ninth day, it is the turn of the golden palanquin to carry the Lord
On the tenth day, he is the bridegroom in the wedding procession
Along with goddess Alamelu Manga and all her accompanying ladies
The procession continued with the full glory of all the carriages and animals
