Pallavi: She, who has eyes like the water lilies (“jalajakshi”), is exceedingly (“chala”) distressed (“marulu konnadi”) because of her separation from you (“ninnu edabasi”).

Anupallavi: O venkatesa! You are her soul mate ("cheluvudaina"). Why are you not coming (“ravademira”) to claim your beloved (“chelia nela”)?
