Chandana manivathil paathi chari

Hindolam kannil thira ilakki

Srinkara chandrike neeradi

Nee nilke enthayirunnu manasil

(chandana..)

Ennodenthinolikkunnu nee sakhi

Ellam namukkoru pooleyalle (2)

Andhya yaamathile manjettu pookumee

Swarna mantharangal sakshi alle

(chandana..)

Naanam puthu virinja laavanyame

yamini kaama sugandi alle (2)

Maaya viralukal thottal malarunna

maadaka maunangal nammal alle

(chandana..)

Onnaam raagam paadi onnine maathram thedee

Onnaam raagam paadi onnine maathram thedee

Vannuvallo innale nee vadakkunadhante munpil

Onnaam raagam paadi onnine maathram thedee

Vannuvallo innale nee vadakkunadhante munpil

Paaduvathum raagam nin theduvathum raagamay

Ee pradhakshina veedhikal idarivinda paathakal

Ennum hrudhaya sangamathin shivelikal thozhuthu

aa…aa…aa… (ee pradhak)

Kannukalaal archana mounangalaal keerthanam

Ellaamellam ariyunnee gopura vaathil (onnaam)

Ninte neela rajanikal nidhrayodumidayave

Ullilulla kovilile nada thurannu kidannu

aa…aa…..aaa….. (ninte)

Annu kanda neeyaro innu kanda neeyaro

Ellamella kaalathin indrajaalangal (onnaam)
