Meaning: (From TK Govinda Rao’s Book)

O Goddess, the mother (“janani” or “amba”) of the three (“tri”) worlds (“loka”)! Who else is there (“dik evvaramma?”) to take care for me on this earth (“jagamulona gaana”)?

You who fascinated (“sammodhini”) the heart (“maanasa”) of Cupid (“manasija”), please pay heed (“vinave”) to my (“naa”) entreaties (“manavini”) and protect me (“nannu brovumu”).

Are you not (“gaadaa”) the bestower (“daayaki”) of boons (“vara”)? Don’t you have compassion to protect (“brova”) this single soul (“okkani”)? Why do you debate (“karudaa”) about protecting me (“daya raadaa”), who has unshakable faith (“neranammina”) in you? Your feet (“paadaa”)are adored (“nuta”) by Brahma (“sarasija bhava”), Vishnu (“hari”) and Shiva (“hara”).

Upon hearing(“vini”) the infinite (“niravadhika”) happiness (“sukha”) you confer (“daayaki”) on your devotees, fervently (“chaala” or “niratamuga”) I have placed my trust (“golichiti” or “moralu”) in you. Who else is there (“nee valanu brochutaku Evariki”) on this earth (“dharalo”) to hear my entreaties and offer protection? Is it tiresome (“idi ghanamaa”) to pay attention? Please condescend now (“karunamidi”) and bestow (“salupu”) your blessings. O the lotus eyed (“saraseeruha lochani”) one! Auspicious goddess (“suvaasini”)! Without (“seyakane”) delaying (“taamasamu”), please protect me (“brovumu”)!
