Meaning (Done by Dr. Aruna Turaga)

Pallavi: O the lady with eyes like those beautiful flowers that originate from the garden (“vanajakshiro”)! I am unable to abide (“orvane”) by this separation (“ee viraham”). Please fetch (“teve”) along (“todi”) the son of Vasudeva, Krishna (“vaasudevuni”).

Anupallavi: Please pay attention (“vinave”)! He is the king of splendour  (“soundarya raju”) who dwells (“velayu”) at Nagapuram (“nagapuramuna”).

Charanam: Unendurable (“niluparani”) desire is consuming me (“mohamaaye”).
