O Beloved (lOla) (literally enamoured) of lakshmI (SrI ramA)! Is it a burden (bhAramA) to protect (brOva) me (nannu)? Is there any fault (nEramA) on me (nApai) who has believed (nammina) You (ninnu)?
Is it any distance (dUramA) if You consider (encitE) me (mammu) (literally us) (mammencitE) this way (iTu) (nEramAyiTu)? Is it majestic (gambhIramA) (literally depth) for You (nIku)?
why, O Lord SrI kRshNA! why do You (nIku) have this obstinacy with me? O Lord kRshNA!
