Orissa with culture and sculpture of Lord Jagannath at Puri,
As if heaven has descended on the earth with religious glory.

Queen Gundicha, the founder of the Universal occasion,
Has arranged a memorable meeting of Creator and Creation.

Lord Balabhadra on Chariot Taladhwaja,
Goddess Subhadra on Chariot Darpadalana;

Lord Jagannath on Chariot Nandighosha,
A statistical scenery of sensation of hilarity and heaven.

Saints and satans with their actions and reactions attend the function,
It teaches the logic of life of humane humanitarian.

Symbol of brother hood and love of God to man-kind,
Intiate righteous mannerism in mortal body and mind.

The gathering of the people, the rhythm of prayer,
Extraordinarily make an auspicious surrounding there.

The memory of the day, the summary of the event,
Preaches a marvellous belief in Omnipresence of Omnipotent.

Oh ! Almighty give blessings to the human race,
Unity, integrity, peace and happiness.
