ಎನ್ನಂತೆ ಪುಣ್ಯಂಗೆಯ್ದವರುಂಟೆ ?
ಎನ್ನಂತೆ ಭಾಗ್ಯಂಗೆಯ್ದವರುಂಟೆ ?
ಕಿನ್ನರನಂತಪ್ಪ ಸೋದರನೆನಗೆ !
ಏಳೇಳು ಜನ್ಮದಲ್ಲಿ ಶಿವಭಕ್ತರೇ ಬಂದುಗಳೆನಗೆ !
ಚೆನ್ನಮಲ್ಲಿಕಾರ್ಜುನನಂತಪ್ಪ ಗಂಡ ನೋಡಾ ಎನಗೆ !!

Meaning:
Is there anybody who has got so much of merit as me ?
Is there anybody who is so much blessed like me ?
kinnara like are my brothers !
In the seven generations the devotees of
Lord shiva are my relatives !
My husband is chennamallikArjuna Himself, you see !!
Notes:
1. If blessed with an ability to serve ( kinnaras are known
for their music. Here referred to sing the God in the music
sweet like theirs.) , and the association of the chaste hearted
devotees and got to have the mind that is fixed in Lord shiva,
what else is there to aspire for ?
