I found the general translation on karnatik.com which was very helpful.

Can someone please explain word for word? I am mainly looking for the meanings of the 4th and the 5th caraNams:

Lyrics of caraNam 4 as posted in karnatik.com:
shrI shubhakara shashi makuTadhara jaya vijaya tripurahara
shrtajana lOladbhuta guNa shIlA krtanutapAlA patituni lOlA-
mudambala ranga padAbjamulanu padambujErcu pashupatini
gnyaanamudhyaanamu snaanamupaanamu
daanamumaanamu abhimaanamanucu
kanikaramunacaraNambulukanu
konushrutulannutula sharaNanucu (saamba)

caraNam 5
sAresAregu nI nAma mantram kOrinAnu nI pAdAmbuja mantram
dAsuDau cinni krSNuniki dikku nIvEyani shokkanAthuni nammukoni

from Karnatik.com: You are handsome and grant boons to the dEvas. You have the moon on your crown. You love the devout. You are the embodiment of virtues and you destroy sinners. I will not abandon my religious practices but will forever seek refuge in you, oh Lord Chokkanaatha."

Thanks, Rita

This lovely swarajathi by Chinni Krishna is not being presented by our artists in the concerts, though SS swarajathis are presented veryfrequently.
