Lyrics in Tamil :-

பொன்னவிர் மேனிச் சுபத்திரை மாதைப்
புறங்கொண்டு போவதற்கே - இனி
என்ன வழியென்று கேட்கில், உபாயம்
இருகணத் தேயுரைப் பான்; - அந்தக்
"கன்னன் வில்லாளர் தலைவனைக் கொன்றிடக்
காணும் வழியொன் றில்லேன் - வந்திங்கு
உன்னை யடைந்தனன்" என்னில் உபாயம்
ஒருகணத் தேயுரைப் பான். 1

Thank you. Why is this sung as Sakthyam Bhakti? Does this song brings out the friendship between Arjuna and Krishna?

.
In the video it is mentioned as ‘Sakhyam Virutham’.

Sakhyam means Friendship.
Virutham is a type of poem.
Sakhya Viruttam means ‘Song of friendship’

The heading given by Bharati for the song is
‘kaNNan en tOzhan’ (Kannan is my friend).
Hence the description ‘Sakhya Viruttam’

-----
Tamil Lexicon:
சக்கியம்² cakkiyam , n. < sakhya. Friendship, intimacy; சிநேகம்.

Got it. May be I should be looking at entire 'kaNNan en tOzhan’ song to completely understand the context.
Thank you.

The translation :

If I were to ask Him for a method to take away Subhadra, the lady shining like gold, He would tell me a way in just two second. If I tell him " I do not see any way to kill Karna, the best of archers. So I have sought refuge in you" , He would give me a solution in a second.
