Meaning

Oh, Sumukhi!  You are in such a situation that your longing has made you be in the dark even though the sun has risen!
Your beloved, who was far away for a long time, since has come home brimming with joy, Aho!!
Since you are affected by the arrows of Cupid and your beautiful sandal-smeared bosom is held in a tight embrace by your husband.
The youthful enchanting speech of your husband, excels all the sweetest talks that filled the ers earlier.
Oh, Varatanu (having a charming form).  You are suffering from desirous emotion!  Sri Padmanabha will come soon to fulfill it.

 Meaning

Oh, Sudati (one having attractive teeth)!.  Please tell my beloved about my longing.
Oh, dear friend!  You are with me always, my mind is very much tired due to becoming the target of Cupid's arrows.
Oh, Carusile (lovely character).  What could be the reason for losing his interest in me these days?  Oh, Vidhumukhi (having a moon-like face).  I am immersed in the ocean of desires and am languishing!  Dear Sundari!  When will he make me happy by giving me the nectar of his lips?
Even the pleasant rays of the moon burn me like the rays of the sun.  He is the repository of virtues,  why is he so unkind to me?  If at all he does have any feeling left for me, pray why is he tarrying without coming to my rescue and remove my sorrows?
Every moment spent without his company is like an eon to me.  Oh, Srasijaksha!  My sorrow is insurmountable, Oh my dear lady, having a gait of beautiful movement like a swan (Hamsa).  Without feeling shy, please go to my husband Kanjanabha and tell him about me.

Meaning

Oh Mind! Do meditate on Lord Hari, the distinguished son of the Yadu clan, who dwells in the city of Dharma.
The Lord redeemed the wicked ones in a moment.  People like Pipa, Sudhama, Besva, and Ajamila were rescued by him.
He took incarnations as a great fish, tortoise, great board, and man-lion form.  He subdued the pride of king Bali when he took the form of Vamana.  He took other incarnations also, as Parasurama, Balarama, and Kalki in order to destroy wicked ones.
Shiva, Sanaka, Brahama, and others, day and night meditate on his form.  This enchanting son of Nanda held aloft the mountain Govardhana for seven nights.  Worship him as Ramakrishna, Madhusudana, Purushotama, and lord of Vraja, the vanquisher of Mura.  He is our lord Padmanabha, who gave refuge to Jambavan.  He will reform the wicked ones of this earth.

Meaning

Oh, he beloved consort of goddess Sridevi!  I offer my obeisance to you.  You are ever engrossed in protecting those who seek refuge in you. Oh, Madhava!  You removed from the hearts of the cowherd the fear of serpent Kaliya.
You are the personification of compassion; you annihilated demons like Putana, Sakata, Dhenuka, etc.  You are an expert at playing the flute.  You are droned with the beautiful feather of peacock on your head.
You are extolled by Shiva, Brahma, and Indra.  Your rich tresses bear the fragrance of the flowers of divine trees.  The luster of your form resembles the dark clouds.  You danced on the hood of Kaliya. You bewitch the hearts of a whole lot of cowherd damsels.
Your gait resembles the lordly elephant.  You are the treasure trove of all noble attributes.  Your prowess is infinite in the world.  You are the jewel of the Yadu clan.  Murahara!  You amused yourself of Madhuvana on the banks of river Yamuna.  Oh, Janardhana!  You are the swan of the ever-fresh Parijata flower-like hearts of sages such as Narada and others.
You are the brother of Balrama. You are adept in removing the formidable miseries.  Your eyes resemble the lotus.  Your countenance is sweet and smiling.  Your neck is adorned with peerless VAnamala.  You are the mighty Bhauma what winds are to clouds.  Oh, Padmanabha! your visage is charming.  You hold the weapons conch and discuss in your arms.
