Meaning: (TK Govinda Rao’s book):

Which conduces to beatitude (“sukhamaa”), Dvaita or Advaita ? Dvaita which declares that Jivaatma is different from the Paramaatma or Advaita which asserts that they are identical ?

As the Eternal Witness (“saakshi”) of cosmos (“saarva”), please enlighten me (“maa vinu”), Lord (“Chaitanya”). Throw light (“delpumu”) on this mystery (“vistaaramugaanu”) so that I comprehend (“naato”) it beyond any doubt.

Supreme and Omnipresent, you are declared to be equally manifest (“dyavanilo”) in all the worlds (“gagana, pavana, tapana, bhuvanaa”) and to delight in sporting in the five elements, Trinity, the celestials and cream of devotees (“bhagavad bhaktha varaagresarulalo”). O worshipped (“archita”)  by Tyagaraaja ! Do enlighten (“raminche”) me !
