Verse 1
മണിക്കുട വിടര്‍ത്തി മലര്‍ തൂവി മണമെല്ലാം
ഘൃണിക്കപചിതിക്രിയ കഴിച്ചു ഘൃണിയാകി,
ഗുണിച്ചവകളൊക്കെയുമൊഴിഞ്ഞി ഗുണിയും പോയ്
ഗുണക്കടല്‍ കടന്നുവരുവാനരുള്‍ക തായേ!

Transliteration
Maṇikkuṭa viṭar‍tti malar‍ tūvi maṇamellāṃ
Ghr̥ṇikkapacitikriya kaḻiccu ghr̥ṇiyāki,
Guṇiccavakaḷokkeyumoḻiññi guṇiyuṃ pōy
Guṇakkaṭal‍ kaṭannuvaruvānaruḷ‍ka tāyē!

Meaning
With the pearl-umbrella unfolded,
Flowers rained, and their fragrance
Offered in worship to the sun (that you are),
And transformed into pure effulgence,
And with all the apparent
Model qualities gone,
And with the qualified also gone,
Let me, gracefully cross
This ocean of qualities,
O mother!
