P: O Blessed (vara) sage nArada endowed (gala) with the experience (anubhavamu) of bliss (Ananda) of ever remembering (smaraNa) (smaraNAnandAnuhavamu) Lord nArayaNa!

A: O Sinless One (anagha) whose body (apaghana) (literally limbs) resembles (nibha) (nibhApaghanAnagha) the autumnal (Sarad) moon (indu)

(Sarad-indu)! Please protect me (brOvumu) now (ika) (brOvumika) nicely (sAramugAnu);

O Blessed sage nArada endowed with the experience of the bliss of ever remembering Lord nArayaNa!

C: Hasn’t Lord hari (hariyu) conferred (osangenE) fame (kIrtini) (kIrtinosangnE) on you proclaiming (prakaTambuga)

‘he is (anucu) the true preceptor (sad-guruvu) (sadguruvanucu) for entire (sakala) worlds (lOkamulaku)’ and

‘I (nEnu) am (anucu) always (sadA) he (ataDu)’ (nEnataDanucu)?

O Blessed sage nArada - praised (nuta) by this fortunate (bhAvuka) tyAgarAja - endowed with the experience of the bliss of ever remembering Lord nArayaNa!

Additiona Meanings: Glorious (“vara”) NARADA! You are perpetually experiencing (“anubhavamu gala”) the Bliss (“ananda”) arising out of your meditation (“smarana”) of NARAYANA, the Lord of Sri. The radiance of your body outshines the splendour of the moon of the spring (“Sharadindu”). Grant me spiritual wisdon (“saaramu”) and guide me in the path of devotion (“brovumu”). The Lord Himself (“hari”) has declared that you are (“anucu”) the preceptor (“sadguru”) par excellence in this world (“sakala lokamulaku”) and He is you. What more ? Bestower (“nosangane”) of auspiciousness (“keerthi”)! Worshipped (“nutha”) by Tyagaraja!
