Meanings: (done by Dr. Aruna Turaga, CA)
Pallavi: O leader (“nayaka”) of the entire (“nikhila”) universe (“loka”)! I am subsisting (“yunnanu ra”)
because of the yearning I have for you (“ninnu kori”).

Anupallavi: This is the occasion (“samayamura”) to take charge of me (“nannu paalimpa”). Kindly show
mercy (“krupa judara”) upon me (“naa meeda”).

Charanam: O Srinivasa! I pray to your existence (“sannuthi”) in the discernible form (“anga”).
