============================

Language : Sanskrit.

Subrahmanyena Rakshitoham
Ashtaadasha Lochanaakhandena

( I am protected by Lord Subrahmanya, possessing eighteen eyes and he is immeasurable. )

Prabra Vaamaadi Pujita Padena
Purandara Manollaasa Karanena

(Whose feet are worshipped by Prabra Vaama etc. He gives delight to the heart of Indra.)

Kahnakashaila Vihaarena Varena
Valli Devasenaa Ramanena Akaara Vruttena
Saanandena Bhogamoksha Pradaanena Nityena
Venkateshwara Vibhaavitena Vicitra Vishaakha Mahotsavena
Shukara Hasya Prakaasha Guruguhena Krittikaasuta Shuddha Dhanyena

(Who resides in Kankashaila is the form of bliss. He is the beloved of Valli and Devasena. He is of the form of the primary syllable (Om) and of bliss. He is the bestower of enjoyment and salvation. The eternal one who manifests as the name and form of Venkateshwara (worshipped by the king called Venkateshwara). Whose great festival is celebrated in the month of Vishaka. He is Guruguha, who disclosed the secret of Suka. He is the son of Krittika and has blemishless glory.)
