Pallavi :
vinavE O manasA ! vivarambuga nE tElpEda

Anupallavi:
manasEringi kumArgamuna – mari pOralutsu cEDavaladE

Charanam :
I naDatalu banikirAdu Ishvara krpa galuga bOdu;
dhyAna bhajana sEyavE;vara tyAgarAja manavini

Meaning: (www.sangeetham.com)
Will you not listen ("vinave") O mind ("manasa")? I ("Ne") will explain ("telpeda") it clearly ("vivarambuga")!
Knowingly ("manasEringi") do not wallow ("pOralutsu") in evil ways ("Ku-mArgamuna"), bringing yourself to ruin ("cEDavaladE"). (…Will you not listen O mind?…) This behavior ("I naDatalu") of yours will not bring good ("banikirAdu") to you, nor will it earn you ("galuga bOdu ") the grace of God ("Ishvara krpa"). Involve ("sEyavE") yourself in meditating ("dhyAna") on God and singing ("bhajana") of his name.

To the entreaties ("manavini") of the good ("vara") Tyagaraja (will you not listen O mind?)

Notes: This tiny kriti is yet another in the series where Tyagaraja advises his own mind (and thereby devotees) on the right path to salvation.
