Bhavasaagaramu Daataleka Ne

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”)

Pallavi:

Raghunayaka ! Nee Paadayuga Raajeevamulane Vidajaala Sri

Unique (“naayaka”) among the Raghus! I will never leave (“vidajaala”) hold of your lotus feet (“paadayuga”).
