The Translation:

Tulasi! the Beloved of (Lord) Hari
Who (is)

Worshipped by Rukmini and Radha
Ever present in Vrindavan
Protects Krishna's dear ones
Oh! Tulasi, the Beloved of Hari!
Unto You I bow down!

Soft and sweet-tongued
Destroyer of 'Sanchita pãpa'
Pleased with inner worship
Oh! Tulasi, the Beloved of Hari!
Unto You I bow down!

Singer of dear Hari's Nãma
One (so soft) offered to Hari's Holy Feet
Remover of hurts, debts and grief
Oh! Tulasi, the Beloved of Hari!
Unto to You I bow down!

Adorns 'kumkum' and 'chandana' (sandalpaste)
Adorns auspicious ornaments
Love of the Lotus Eyed One!
Oh! Tulasi, the Beloved of Hari!
Unto to You I bow down!

Worshipped by the Sages
The cause of all auspicious deeds
The very life of Sri Muralidhara
Oh! Tulasi, the Beloved of Hari!
Unto to You I bow down!
