They are one but have different forms and interested only in saving the world,
My salutations to Vishnu , Shiva , Parvathi , Surya and Ganesa.

The divine form is but one but they are saluted as different forms,
My salutations to Parvathi, sankara, Ganapathi ,Vishnu and Surya.

Shivachyuth Ganesana durgharkyaan noumyaham suraan
My salutations to Shiva, Achyutha , Ganesa and Sun God,
Who daily showers me with groups of joy and
Is the one who looks after the oppressed.

Yeka roopan sada vande sukha sandoha sidhaye,
By saluting always the unified forms of the Gods,
Sun God , Vishnu , Parvathi, Shiva, and Lord Ganapathi,
We would be blessed with heaps and heaps of pleasure.
9.Harou hare thesehnakare Ganese,
Shakthou ne bhedho jagadhadhi hethushu,
Adha pathathyesha bhidhaam dadhaano,
Bhashantha yevam yathyo achyuthasraya.
There is no difference between Vishnu, Shiva , Sun God, Ganesa,
And Goddess Parvathi who are the cause of this world,
But if we give different meanings to them,
We would be talking like saints who are dependent on Achuyutha.
