Meaning

One can hear the melody of flute on the banks of the beautiful river Jamuna,  wherein the company of cowherds dances our dear Lord Krishna.
On his forehead shines the mark of vermilion-like the crescent moon.  Krishna the embodiment of grace is adorned with the shining Perl necklace.
The celestial is worshiping the feet of Lord Mukunda, the darling of Nanda, he is to the Gopika's, what the moon is to the bird Cakora.
He shines brilliantly and is the Lord of the three worlds.  His glory is sung by Vedas as well as his devotees all over the world.
His glory is praised in the melodious songs amidst the fascinating rhythmic Svaras and beats.  He, the compassionate Hari, is the vanquisher of the pride of the Asuras.
Oh, brave Gopala! you are the redeemer of the people who are dejected and miserable.  You are the light in the darkness of misery.  You are the lord of Sridevi.
Oh, Padmanabha! The hearts of the devotees jump like the deer on hearing the glory of thee.  Everyone inclusive of celestials, kings, sages, and Garuda is entranced by the glory.

Meaning

Oh, Friend! Alas! I cannot tolerate this passionate emotion!
My lord is annoyed with me, you have to persuade him.
Oh, Kadarakshi! Balike! It is very difficult to explain my inner feeling.  Oh my god!! (Siva! Siva!) the cool moon burns like the hot sun and intensifying my desires, and diminishing my joy.
Oh, Vidyallatangi! The valorous ones are shooting arrows everywhere in the world; will my Lord who is good-natured and intelligent cheat me?
Without hiding anything in my mind, please tell my beloved Sri Padmanabha all about my miseries in your smart way of take and make him come to me with compassion.

Meaning

Alas@ Oh Dear Friend! What shall I do?
What is the reason that my beloved is so indifferent?
Has he forgotten the time we spent on the beautiful couch?  Has he forgotten how he decorated my tresses with fragrant jasmine flowers?
Has he, the embodiment of virtues forgotten how he enjoyed sporting with me in the palace, gleaming in the moonlight?
Oh, Nalinakshi! Please tell him about my unabated pining for him. Oh, Ilataliroligatri- having a body like a tender leaf! do not take my words lightly and delay anymore.

Meaning

What shall I do now? Alas! My mind is in turmoil with longing.
Your sweet speech excels honey and melts the heart of ladies adorned with pearl garlands.  Without listening to such speech...
Day and night I am meditating upon your golden feet in my heart and embracing you within.  Without ego and without wasting a second, come to me with your honey-flowing mouth.
The Cupid is tormenting me by shooting his arrows; to resolve my miseries, leaving your pride, come and embrace me with your flower-like body and unite with me.
The cool moon, like a ball of fire, is piercing my heart. Leave all your stubbornness and come and unite with me, oh Pankajanabha!
