By
Kunhan Nambiar
Translation by
P.R.Ramachander
Kutram Koodaathe ulla Naranmaar,
Kurayum bhoomiyil Yennude THathaa
Laksham Maanushar koodumbol athil
Lakshanam ullavar onno rando.
Human beings without any fault
Are very less in this world , Oh my father
When hundred thousand people assemble
People without any faults will be one or two
Udal Athi ramyam oruthannu, kalkkoru,
Mudavundu avannu nadakkum neram
Mathoru Sundaran yengilum
Othra kannan aayathu dosham
Body is very pretty for one man
But when he walks, he limps
Another one is pretty but
Since he had only one eye , That is a defect
Cherchakal palathum undu oruvanu, kinchil
Poocha pannu undenathu oru dosham
Kazhcha Karu chirichu thudangum
Cherchakku avannu uchitham allallo
One person had very many matchings
One defect he had was that he had cat like eyes
People who see him would start laughing
Nalloru vidhwan, Avanude Vayil
Pallukal onnum Kaanmaanilla
Pala gunamulla purushan avande
THala mudiyokke narachu veluthu
A bvery good person but in his mouth
You are not able to see any teeth
He is a person with many good qualities
But all his hair has become white
THila kuriyum , chodiyum kollaam
Thalayil avannoru romam illa
Miykathum oruvannu Laksham slokam
Orikkal kettaal angu grahikkum
Vikkukal kondathu paravaan vahiyaa
His mark in forehead and alert look is great
But he does have even one hair on his head
Another man, if he hears One lakh verses
He would immediately remember them,
But due to his stammer he is not able to tell it
SAth Kadha valare arinjoru deham
Ka ka ka Kamsan, Ki ki ki Krishnan
Poo Poo poo poo, Poothanyaam Kadhayil
Nalloru jaathiyil vannu piannu
Nalloru Roopa Gunangalundu
Hari yennu AAdhiyoru Aksharam , avanude
Arike koode Poyittilla
A person who knew very many good moral stories,
Ka Ka..Kamsa , Ki ki… Krishna
Poo poo poo…. In the story of Poothana
He was born in a good caste
He has good form and character,
Hari the first letter*
Has not gone near him
*In Kerala They start teaching Hari Sree Ganapathaye nama
