rAra sItA ramaNI manOhara

O Captivator of the heart of charming Sita! Please come.

nIraja nayana oka
muddIra dhIra muGgala (rAra)

O Lotus Eyed! O Brave One! Give me a kiss! please come before me.

baGgAru valvalu nE bAguga kaTTeda mari
zRGgAriJci sEva jEsi kaugiTa jErceda (rAra)

I shall dress up You well with golden garments; further, after bedecking and rendering service, I shall embrace You.

sAreku nuduTanu kastUri tilakamu peTTeda
sAramaina muktA hAramula diddeda (rAra)

Often, I shall apply auspicious mark made of musk on Your forehead; and I shall bedeck You with nice pearl necklaces.\t

yOgamu nIpaiyanu rAgamu pADeda
vErE gati evaru zrI tyAgarAja vinuta (rAra)

I shall sing song that ‘my mind is fixed on You’; O Lord praised by this Tyagaraja! who else is my refuge?

¹ rAra – rArA : The appropriate form is ‘rArA ’; however, if we take into account Anupallavi, where it is given as ‘nIraja’, ‘rAra ’ might have been used in keeping with rules of Prasa and Anuprasa.
² muddIra – this is how it is given in all the books. However, the appropriate form is ‘muddIrA ’.
³ muktA hAramula diddeda – muktA hAramulanika diddeda : muktA hAramulanika diddeda - does not seem appropriate.
⁵ nIpaiyanurAgamu pADeda – nIpaiyanurAgamu kAni

⁴ yOgamu – In some books, this has been translated as ‘fortune’; in other books, this has been translated as ‘mind fixed’. The meaning ‘mind fixed’ seems appropriate.
⁵ anurAgamu – Assuming ‘pADeda ’ is, the correct word ‘anurAgamu ’ should be split as two words ‘anu+rAgamu’. ‘anurAgamu ’ as a single word, does not make any sense in the context. However, if ‘kAni’ (anurAgamu kAni) is correct, then ‘anurAgamu ’ may be taken as a single word and translated as ‘deep love’.
