Can someone explain the lyrics for the Annamacharya compositions of Nanati Batuku Natakamu and Manujudai Putti.
Both songs seems fairly philosophical based on my rudimentary knowledge of Telugu (especially the line Puttitayu Nijamu, Povutayu Nijamu!)

manujuDai puTTi :
The Keerthana directs the human beings, who are mortals, to serve Lord Venkateswara rather than hankering around other human beings, who are also mortals, for favours and the like. It also aims at selfless service to the fellow-human beings in whom one can find the Lord, as enunciated in 'Manava sevaye madhava seva' since the Lord is omniscient, omnipotent and all-pervading! The splendour of the song is that the Lord grants His devotees the supreme status which they have never thought of or expected! The hidden meaning is that the devotees are bound to stroll along the Vishnupadam and attain salvation.
Meaning of the Sankeerthana
Having born as mortal (human being) and having served mortals (human beings), should you continue to suffer everyday? (Why should you suffer serving human beings? Instead, serve the Lord.)
You penetrate into the forbidden places for a small stomach; you beseech for a fistful of food; you yearn to live a happy life at your own place and indulge in such similar futile exercises, instead â€"
