O Lord (ayya)! Why (enduku) wouldn’t You bestow (iyyavu) (literally give) on me the same kind of wisdom (buddhi) as that of (vale) great people (peddala) (literally elders)? O Lord (ayya) rAma (rAmayya)! Where else (endu) could I go (pOdunu) (pOdunayya)?

Like (vale) all others (andari), I too have been prattling (vadariti), jumping here and there (dATi dATi); isn’t it (kadarA) that it (wisdom) has become (Aye) like an unreachable (anda rAni) fruit (paNDu) (paNDAye)?

O Lord! Why wouldn’t You bestow on me the same kind of wisdom as that of great people? O Lord rAma! Where else could I go?

Even after knowing (telisi) the true philosophical (tatva) meanings (arthamulu) (tatvArthamulu) of vEdas and SAstras,

knowing (telisi) the undifferentiated (bhEda rahita) vEdAnta (vEdAntamulu), and

knowing (telisi) the secrets (marmambulanu) of science (vidya) of nAda (nAdOpAsana),

O Lord (nAtha) praised (nuta) by this tyAgarAja!

why wouldn’t You bestow on me the same kind of wisdom truly (nijamuga) like that of great people? O Lord rAma! Where else could I go?
