Pallavi:    Ninnukori Yunnara Nenarunchi Nannelukora
Anupallavi: Pannagashayanudou Sri Parthasaradhi Deva
Charanam: Soonacharuni baari Korvalera

Meanings: (done by Dr. Aruna Turaga, CA)
Pallavi: I am longing (“kori yunnanu ra”) for you (“ninnu”). I beseech you to uphold
your affection for me (“nenaru unchi”) and heed me (“nannelu kora”).

Anupallavi: O deva! You recline (“sayanudou”) on the mighty serpent (“pannaga”). You
have steered the chariot of Arjuna (“parthasaradhi”) through all the adversities.

Charanam: I cannot endure (“oravalera”) the suffering (“baari”) caused by the cupid
who does not have any body, hence can travel through oblivion (“soona chaaruni”).

Pallavi:
