Sanskrit Text (संस्कृतम्)
बाल समय रबि भक्षि लियो तब तीनहुँ लोक भयो अँधियारो ।
ताहि सो त्रास भयो जग को यह संकट काहु सों जात न टारो ॥
देवन आनि करी बिनती तब छाँड़ि दियो रबि कष्ट निवारो ।
को नहिं जानत है जग में कपि संकटमोचन नाम तिहारो ॥
Telugu Script (తెలుగు లిపి)
బాల సమయ రబి భక్షి లియో తబ తీనహుఁ లోక భయో అఁధియారో ।
తాహి సో త్రాస భయో జగ కో యహ సంకట కాహు సోం జాత న టారో ॥
దేవన ఆని కరీ బినతీ తబ ఛాఁడి దియో రబి కష్ట నివారో ।
కో నహిం జానత హై జగ మేం కపి సంకటమోచన నామ తిహారో ॥
