English Translation from By Madabhushi Sridhar

In a diamond studded palace & amidst brilliant lamps

And perfume of Dhoopa, sleeping on a comfortable mattress,

Oh, Uncle’s daughter un-lock and open the Bells hanging Doorways

Oh Aunt, why don’t you get up your daughter?

Is she dumb, or deaf or sleepy on silky mattress?

Or is she in slumber attributable to any magic spell?
