This is a very simple, beautiful, easy-to-read and understand Slokam, ideal for teaching to children.
From Sri Krishna Karnamrutham, Chapter 2, Verse 108: by Bilva Mangala Swami alias Leela Sukhar (AD 1220-1300)
कस्तूरी तिलकं ललाट पलके वक्ष: स्थले कौस्तुभं । नासाग्रे वरमौक्तिकं करतले वेणु: करे कंकणं॥ सर्वांगे हरि चन्दनं कलयन्कंठे च मुक्तावली। गोपस्त्रीपरिवेष्टितो विजयते गोपाल चूडामणि:
kasturi tilakam lalata phalake vakshasthale kaustubham naasagre navamauktikam karatale venum kare kankanam | sarvange harichandanam kalayan kantheca muktaavali gopastree pariveshtito vijayate gopala chudaamanih ||
கஸ்தூரி திலகம் லலாட பலகே வக்ஷஸ்தலே கௌஸ்துபம் நாசாக்ரே நவ மௌத்திகம் கரதலே வேணும்கரே கங்கணம் சர்வாங்கே ஹரிச்சந்தனம் கலயன் கண்டேச முக்தாவலி கோபஸ்த்ரீ பரிவேஷ்டிதோ விஜயதே கோபால சூடாமணி:
Meaning:

A good slokam. There are many such beautiful slokams both in Sanskrit and Tamil easy to learn and recite.Parents have a duty to teach such good Slokas to their children when they are young. There are many good moral and Bhakthi stories. There are many gems of Subhashitanis. They are also worth to be taught to children. What one learns at the childhood days, will last till the end and they in turn can teach their children these gems of prayers.This tradition should be continuously passed on from one generation to another.We have to do our mite to protect and propagate our SANATHANA DHARMA .This is what our Kanchi Maha Periva did all his life.We have a duty to follow his foot steps.
Hara Hara Sankara, Jaya Jaya Sankara.
