Hail the land of beautiful rivers and forests! Hail the abode of saints and seers! A new jewel in the crown of Goddess Earth, You are a trove of sandalwood, beauty and gold. Victory to you Mother Karnataka, the daughter of Mother India, where Rama and Krishna had their incarnations. Resonance of the Vedas is the Mother’s lullaby, Your fervour is what gives Her life. Rows of green mountains are your necklaces. Victory to you Mother Karnataka, the daughter of Mother India who is hailed by Kapila, Patañjali, Gautama and Jina. You are a sacred forest where Shankara, Ramanuja, Vidyaranya, Basaveswara and Madhva dwelt. You are the holy abode where Ranna, Shadakshari, Ponna, Pampa, Lakshmisa and Janna were born. You are the blessed resting place of many a poet-nightingale. Victory to you Mother Karnataka, the daughter of Mother India The progenitor of Nanak, Ramananda and Kabir. This is the land ruled (in the past) by Tailapa and Hoysalas, The beloved home of Dankana and Jakkana. This land blessed with the waters of the Krishna, Sharavathi, Tunga and Kaveri. Victory to you Mother Karnataka, The daughter of Mother India! (The India) of Chaitanya, Paramahamsa and Swami Vivekananda. Garden of peace for all communities, A sight that allures the connoisseurs, A garden where Hindus, Christians, Muslims, Parsis and the Jains (can grow together); The site where many kings like Janaka ruled; A heaven for singers and musicians. The body of the children of Mother Kannada! The house where the Kannada Tongue plays in joy! Victory to you Mother Karnataka, The daughter of Mother India! Hail the land of beautiful rivers and forests! Hail the abode of saints and seers!

Styles

The poem is set to tune by a number of Kannada composers, among which two tunes set by C. Ashwath and Mysore Ananthaswamy are the most popular ones. Recently there were some confusions and differences in opinion as to which tune should be used in rendition. The Prof. Shivarudrappa Committee, which was asked to suggest a befitting tune for the rendition of the song, had recommended that the music composed by Mysore Ananthaswamy was apt.

The Deputy Chief Minister of Karnataka, has asked Kannada University to create a uniform rendering for the song.[2]

Controversy

• A controversy started in early 2004 demanding inducting Madhwacharya's name in Jaya Bharata Jananiya Tanujate, written by Kuvempu. Poornachandra Tejaswi, son of Kuvempu and holder of copyrights of Kuvempu's articles, strongly criticised any attempts to change the poem.
