Lyrics (Devanagari)
जय लक्ष्मी रमणा, स्वामी जय लक्ष्मी रमणा।
सत्यनारायण स्वामी, जन-पातक हरणा।
रत्न जड़ित सिंहासन, अद्भुत छवि राजे।
नारद करत निरंजन, घण्टा ध्वनि बाजे।
प्रकट भये कलि कारण, द्विज को दर्शन दीन्हा।
बूढ़ो ब्राह्मण बनकर, कंचन महल कीन्हा।
दुर्बल भील कठारो, जिन पर कृपा करी।
चन्द्रचूड एक राजा, तिनकी विपति हरी।
English Transliteration
Jai Lakshmi Ramana, Swami Jai Lakshmi Ramana
Satyanarayan Swami, jan-paatak harana
Ratna jadit sinhaasan, adbhut chhavi raaje
Naarad karat niranjan, ghantaa dhwani baaje
Prakat bhaye Kali kaaran, dwij ko darshan deenha
Boodho braahman bankar, kanchan mahal keenha
Durbal bheel kathaaro, jin par kripa kari
Chandrachood ek raaja, tinki vipati hari
Meaning
Victory to the beloved of Lakshmi, Lord Satyanarayan, remover of the sins of his devotees. On a jewelled throne his wondrous form is seated; Narada performs the worship and bells ring out. He appeared in the Kali age and gave darshan to a brahmin, took the form of an old brahmin and turned a hut into a gold palace. He showed mercy to a poor Bhil woodcutter and removed the calamity of King Chandrachuda.
