P: O Lord! I don’t know whose (evari) words (mATa) You listened to (vinnAvO). Won’t You come
(rAvO)? Or ain’t You (lEvO) here (indu)? Well Done (bhaLi bhaLi)!

A: O Lord (ayya)! In this World (avanilO), having attained (andi) knowledge of vEdas (ArshEya)
(literally derived from Rshis) (avanilOnArshEya) and SAstras etc (paurushEyamu) (paurushEyamandi),
I did not (lEnu) (lEnayya) learn (eruga) scepticism (cOdyamu) (literally questioning) (cOdyameruga);
I don’t know whose words You listened to. Won’t You come? Or ain’t You here? Well Done!

C: I assumed (uNTi) that (anucunu) the message (muccaTa) (literally news) manifestly (vyakta
rUpuDai) (literally becoming perceptible) conveyed (palikina) to me
by SrI nArada – Your supreme (parama) devotee (bhAgavatula)
that (anucu) You are entirely engaged in looking after (parAdhInuDu) (parAdhinuDanucu) (the welfare
of) Your devotees (bhakta),
to be correct (yuktamu) (literally proper) (yuktamanucunuNTi);
I remained (uNTi) happy (santOshamunanu) (santOshamunanuNTi) that (ani) You (nIvu) (nIvani) are
the powerful (Sakti gala) mighty Lord (mahA-dEvuDu);
I assumed (anukoNTini) You are true (satta) willed (cittuDagu) who is true to His word (satya
sandhuDu);
O Lord praised (nuta) by this tyAgarAja! I don’t know whose words You listened to in this World (ilalO)
(sandhuDanukoNTinilalO). Won’t You come? Or ain’t You here? Well Done!
