Meaning in English

The tall brass pots overflow with milk,
as generous cows pour forth without being pressed.
O son of Nandagopa, who nurtures this bounty, awaken!

O radiant Lord, pure and eternal light of the world,
rise from Your slumber, O mighty protector!
Your enemies have lost their strength before You,
and we have come to praise Your holy feet —
O Paavai, let us glorify the Lord together!
