Dear Sri Malolan:

The lyrics for this Ghanta raaga krithi in Jampa
talam is as follows:

JayamangaLam nithyasubha mangaLam
KaruNA-rasAkshAya kAmAri-vinuthAya
TaruNAruNAthi Sundara-padhAya
nirupama sareerAya nikhilAgamacharAya
sura-vinutha-charithAya suvrathAya

kundhasumaradhanAya kumbhaja-suyOgAya
mandharAga-dharAya Maadhavaaya
kandharpa-janakAya kAmitha-suphaladhAya
BrundhArakArAthi-bheekarAya

sarvalOkahithAya sAkEtha-sadanAya
nirvikArAya mAnitha-guNAya
SaarvabhoumAya pOshitha-ThyAgarAjAya
nirvANa-phaladhAya nirmalaaya

This is like the PallANDu of PeriyAzhwAr ,
where Saint ThyagarAja says:

" May there be victorious MangaLa , ever-auspicious
MangaLa " to Lord Raamachandran and the bard elaborates on
the dhivya mangaLa vigraham and dhivyAthma guNams. 
One can write a lot about this krithi's many meanings
and references. For the sake of brevity, I will just
provide the translation by Dr. C.RamAnujAchAriAr:

" May there be victorious Mangala , ever auspicious 
Mangala to the Lord with eyes full of compassion,
praised by Siva , with feet bright and exceedingly 
charming , of incomparable personality , pervading all
the VedAs , of acts praised by gods, the Lord of 
excellent vows!

May there be victorious MangaLa, ever auspicious 
mangala to the Lord having teeth like jasmine buds , 
praised well by Sage Agasthya , Lord MaadhavA , who
supported the Mandara mountain (during the KoormAvathAram),
the father of the god of love (Manmathan) , the bestower
of the excellent fruits that are sought after, formidable to
the foes of the gods.

May there be victorious Mangala, ever auspicious 
Mangala, to the Lord , who is benovolent to the whole
world and who rsides in AyOdhyA , who is devoid of
change, who honors merit , who is the Emperor patronizing 
ThyAgarAja, the pure God who bestows the fruit of 
Salvation". 

There are some beautiful phrases in this rare Sanskrit krithi
of Saint ThyagarAja, which can be mapped to SrImad RaamAyaNam.
For brevity, I will leave it here.
