P: O Exceedingly (ati) charming (lAvaNya) rAma! Please look at me (jUDavE) gracefully (kanulAra) (literally clearly).

A O Moon – the cooler (SIta kara) (who blossoms) the lily (kumuda) of the mind (citta) of Your wife (vanitA) lakshmI (or sItA) (SrI)!

O Lord who is as charming as a hundred (Sata) cupids – unique born (ananyaja) (SatAnanyaja)! Please look at me gracefully.

C Your (nI) mind (manasu), Your (nI) elegance (sogasu) and Your (nI) style (dinusu) (literally manner, kind) are totally different (vErE);

why (Ela) should I seek the grace of Gods (daivamu) (daivamEla) of sects (mata) given to tAmasa worship? O Lord praised (nuta) by this tyAgarAja!

O divinely (divya) charming rAma! Please look at me gracefully.
