Meaning: (approximate)
O one with divine qualities ("saraguna")! It is time ("samayamuraa") for your protect ("palimpa") me!
Who ("evvarunnaru") is equal ("sari") to you ("neeku") ?
Oh the one with lotus-like ("sarasija") eyes ("nethra")!

You are the one full of beautiful qualities ("varaguna")! You lie on a serpent couch ("sesha-adri"). You
are the giver of boons ("vara-daa"). You are Venkateshwara! You are worshipped ("nutha") by
Brahma, the one born ("sambhava") of a lotus ("vanaja").

Did you not("leda") protect ("anugrahincha") Gajendra the king of elephants ("gaja-raajudu")when
he prayed to you in pain ("sathadruthu poojitha").
Did you not protect the learned ("ati vedajanthina"), supreme ("parama") devotee ("bhaktha"),
Prahlada ?
You are the father ("janaka") of Cupid ("manmatha"); the world is dedicated to you ("marshamunaku
niketana").
You are the supreme ("mahaneeya") Srinivasa!I have heard ("vini") of your divine tales ("sad-
gatalanu"), and pray to you ("veditini"). Please condescend ("manasu karagi") to listen to my
entreaties ("balki"), and release ("deerchi") me from my miseries ("sankatamulu").
