manner (“ee laaguna”)?

Anupallavi: O Srinivasa! You are the lord of the hills, which the mighty serpent Aadiseshu had made
himself into(“sesha chalendra”). I implore you, come with verve (“javamuga”) and rule me
(“nannelara”).

Charanam: I cannot endure (“orva jalanura”) the suffering caused by the deeds of cupid (“maru bari”).
