(nI) in this Universe (jagambulanu)? I (nE) extolled (goliciti) You (ninu) incessantly (niratamu).
Please show mercy quickly and make me always healthy and strong bodied.

O kAmAkshi! Being somewhat (EmO) mentally (manamuna) agitated (kalata jendi), as I (nEnu) did not
find (gAnakanu) any refuge (gati) anywhere (eccaTa) (nEneccaTa), having earlier heard a lot (cevulAraga
vini) about Your (nI) greatness (mahimalu) and all (ella) (mahimalella), in order get relief (dIrcuTaku)
from this (I) inner (manasulOni) grief (veta), I extolled (golicitini) You thinking (talaci) that (ani) at this (I)
(dIrcuTakI) time (vELa) You alone (nIvE) are great (bahu) expert (nipuNA) (nipuNAvani) and that (ani) it
is none else (vEru evaru kAdu) (vErevaru kAdani).
Please show mercy quickly and make me always healthy and strong bodied.

O Mother with shining (lasitA) dark (nIla) tresses (kaca) like (avi) rain-cloud (dhArA dhara) (dharavi)!

protector (pAlinivi) (pAlinivani) of those (jana) who supplicate (nata), who (evaru) else (itarulu)
(moraliDagAnitarulevaru) is there?
