Meaning (from TK Govinda Rao’s book)

Unique (“naayaka”) among the Raghus! I will never leave (“vidajaala”) hold of  your lotus feet (“paadayuga”). Who else but you (“nive gati gaada”) can rid me (“baaradroli”) of my accumulated sins (“aghajaalamula”) and offer me shelter(“Nan aadarimpa”) ? Mundane life - the ocean of SAMSARA (“bhava saagaramu”) - is replete with trials and tribulations (“bahu gaasibadi”) and to cross (“data lekane”) this vale of sorrow. I have come to you. O Lord of SITA (“Saarvabouma”)! Protector (“rakshaka”) of those seeking (“asruta”) refuge (“avanijadhipa”)! Bestower of joy!(“aanandakara”)
