Meaning: (From TK Govinda Rao’s book)

Lord! Should not (“raada”) grant (“mosaga”) me wisdom (“Jnana”) and redeem me?

O the rider (“gamana”) on Garuda!

Are you cross with me (“Vaada”)?

Constantly chanting your (“nee”) name (“naamamu”) has made (“mainadi”) my (“naa”) mind (“madi”) pure and stainless (“nirmala”).

So, cant you initiate me (“Vaaramu taanane”) into the ultimate advaitic doctrine so that I may realize and experience the unity of the Supreme Paramaatmaa (“Paramaatmudu”) and the individual Jeevatma (“Jeevaatmudu”); and identify myself with the entire creation of the fourteen (“padinaalugu”) worlds (“lokamulu”), human beings (“nara”) and celestials like Kinnaraas, Kimpurushaas (“Kinnara Kimpurushulu”) and sages (“munulu”) like Naarada?

O Supreme and Perfect (“paripurna”)! O the Impeccable one (“nish-kalanka”)!

Bestower (“daayaka”) of eternal (“niravadi”) Bliss (“sukha”)! The one prayed (“archita”) to by tyagaraja!
