First level Attempt. Can be polished. Will provide meanings to other charanams later as the time permits.

I hope it will provide some glimpse.

kjrao- NIce & Thank U.
I'm sure BKumar has got a glimpse of the whole song ?

Very nice!
Just one suggestion:

Thanks you very much, dear fellow rasikas- This really makes the whole song come alive- I was also only familiar with the Anupallavi - "Nodi Muthaadi", so I am happy to see the richness of the entire song.
