O kAmAkshi! Being somewhat (EmO) mentally (manamuna) agitated (kalata jendi), as I (nEnu) did not find (gAnakanu) any refuge (gati) anywhere (eccaTa) (nEneccaTa), having earlier heard a lot (cevulAraga vini) about Your (nI) greatness (mahimalu) and all (ella) (mahimalella), in order get relief (dIrcuTaku) from this (I) inner (manasulOni) grief (veta), I extolled (golicitini) You thinking (talaci) that (ani) at this (I) (dIrcuTakI) time (vELa) You alone (nIvE) are great (bahu) expert (nipuNA) (nipuNAvani) and that (ani) it is none else (vEru evaru kAdu) (vErevaru kAdani).
