Pallavi:

Adamodi Galade Ramayya Maata

Anupallavi:

Thodunida Nive Yanuchu Bhaktito

Gudina Nee Paadamu Battina Naato Maata

Charanam:

Chaduvulanni Delisi Shankaraantshu Dai

Sadayu Daasuga Sambhavudu Mrokka

Kadalu Tammuni Balka Jesitivi Gaakanu

Tyaagaraaje Paati Maata

Meaning:

O Ramayya! You seem to feel (“galade”) too proud (“Aada”), too uppish (“modi”), even to talk (“matalaada”) to me. I have sought you (“(y)anuchu”) as my sole (“nive”) support and shelter (“thodunida”) and stuck to you steadfastly and devotedly (“bhaktito”) but you seem to feel .. Do you remember that when kindly Anjaneya, an offshoot of Shiva Himself, at his very first meeting with you desired to be informed of your antecedents, you did not respond directly, but commanded (“jesitivi”) Lakshmana (“tammuni”) to speak to him? When such was the lot of Anjaneya himself (“gaakanu”), who can expect you to talk to this frail Tyagaraja?

Pallavi:

O Ramayya! You seem to feel (“galade”) too proud (“Aada”), too uppish (“modi”), even to talk (“matalaada”) to me.

Charanam:

Chaduvulanni Delisi Shankaraantshu Dai

Sadayu Daasuga Sambhavudu Mrokka

Kadalu Tammuni Balka Jesitivi Gaakanu

Tyaagaraaje Paati Maata

Alt meanings: O Merciful Lord (sadayuDa)! Isn't it (gAkanu) that when AnjanEya – born (sambhavuDu) of Wind God (ASuga) (literally quick moving) (sadayuDASuga) as an aspect (amSuDai) of Lord Siva (Sankara) (SankarAmSuDai) and also being erudite in all subjects (caduvulu anni telisi) (literally one who has mastered all) (caduvulanni) - saluted (mrokka) You (and enquired about You),
You asked (jEsitivi) (literally do) lakshmaNa - your younger brother (tammuni) - to convey (palka) the details (kadalu) (literally stories) to him?
therefore, is it fair to be obstinate to talk (mATalADa) to this tyAgarAja (tyAgarAju) even when he talks (ADina) to You?

Do you remember that when the learned (“Chaduvulanni Delisi”) Anjaneya, an offshoot of Shiva Himself (“shankaraaantshu”),
