Leaning against the tree of thick green foliage,
Oh! woman,
With your heavy bluish braided tresses,
Oh! Ratnavalli, like the peacock resplendent,
Descend from the green telambu tree.
Wrapped in wreaths of cool, balmy sal flowers,
Oh! woman,
At whose incantations diseases vanish,
Who wears the fearsome string of corals,
Oh, Ratnavalli, respond to our call and descend.
The name Ratna-tilaka Valli befits you;
With rituals awe-inspiring I propitiate you;
And those whose twentieth year has passed,
You shall not go without the taste of flesh.
