P: O Lord vEnkaTa ramaNa of tirupati! Won’t You (rAdA) remove (tIyaga) my inner (lOni) screen (tera) of (anu) envy (matsaramu) (matsaramanu)?

A: O Supreme (parama) Lord (purusha)! It (envy) is driving away (pAra-dOlucunnadi) purushArtha - the four-fold human pursuit - righteous actions, (dharma) emancipation (mOkshamula) etc. (Adi) (dharmAdi). Won’t You remove my (nA) inner (lOni) screen of envy?

C: It is (unnadi) as if (rItini) (rItinunnadi) herds (gaNamulu) of animals (mRga) coming (vacci) and falling (tagulu) into snare (vAguramu) without knowing (teliyaka) it to be so (ani) (vAguramani).

O Lord praised (nuta) by this tyAgarAja who has adhered to (anusariJina) Your (nI) path (matamunu) (literally opinion) (matamunanusarincina)!

Therefore, O Lord vEnkaTa ramaNa of tirupati ! Won’t You quickly (vEgamE) remove my inner screens of (anu) pride (mada) and envy (matsaramu) (matsaramanu)?
