P: O My Mind (manasA)! The nectarine (sudhA) juice (rasambu) called nAda has assumed (AyE) (literally become) a human (nara) form (AkRti) (narAkRtiyAyE) here (ilanu) (rasambilanu) (literally Earth) (as SrI rAma).

A: O My Mind! The nectarine juice called nAda which is the prop (AdhAramau) of vEdas, epics (purANa), Agamas and SAstras etc. (Adulaku) (SastrAdulakAdhAramau), has assumed a human form here (as SrI rAma).

P: Seven (Arunnu okaTi) (literally six plus one) svaras (svaramulu) (svaramulArunnokaTi) are the bells (of the bow kOdaNDa);

sacred (vara) rAga (rAgamu) is the bow kOdaNDa (kOdaNDamu);

dura naya and dESya (dESyamu) are the three (tri) strands of the bow string (guNamu);

steady (nirata) pace (tempo) (gati) is (are) the arrow(s) (Saramu) (SaramurA);

sweet (sarasa) thematic variations (sangati) are the words (giramulu) (spoken by the Lord) (giramulurA) appropriate to the occasion (sandarbhamu gala);

chanting the names (bhajana) of the Lord (dhara) (literally one who wields – kOdaNDa) is a fortune (bhAgyamurA);

O My Mind! The nectarine juice called nAda worshipped (sEvincu) by this tyAgarAja (tyAgarAju), has assumed a human form here (as SrI rAma).
