A lovely composition. HarishankarK, here is the meaning from Sri. T.k.Govinda Rao’s book.

"Oh Ananadavalli! Grant me happiness without fail.
Your smile is like rays of nectar which can wipe off the darkness of grief. One who is sporting a young parrot. Hail!
One whose feet are worshipped by indrA-foe of Jambha, daughter of the king of mountains. One who is adorned with camphor on the crescent like forehead. You are like the bee to the lotus face of Shiva. The one with lotus-like eyes. Always dwell in my heart.
Your long tresses surpasses the water bearing collection of clouds. You are the only skillful one in dispelling the misfortunes of those who worship your lotus feet. One who has the glory of removing the afflictions of the three worlds. Please grant me insurmountable prosperity.
One who has the most beautiful face like the charming autumnal moon; resides in the hearts of ascetics. One who has charming teeth like the beautiful jasmine buds; feet like the tender leaf of Parijata. Oh The sister of Lord Padmanabha! Dispel my grief"

kedharam... I didn't know T.K. Govinda Rao has a book. What is the title of the book?

I believe he has composed three pada varnams. Are they in the book?

thanks,
Ganesh.

ganeshpv,
Sri. T.K. Govinda Rao has Music series 1 to 6.
They are
compositions of MD
varna manjari, 50 tAna and pada varnams
Compositions of Thyagaraja
Compositions of Syama sastri , Subbaraya sastri, annaswami sastri
Thyagaraja aradhana - ghanaraga pancharathna kritis
compositions of Maharaja Swati Tirunal
These are the ones that I know off. He may have books of Compositions of Purandaradasa, PSI, poochi srinivasa iyengar.
If you are in Chennai giri traders carry them.
They are compiled and edited by him in sanscrit and Diacritical roman scripts with meaning in English with notations.
He also has book in Thamizh ‘Kshetra Pancharatna Kirtanaigal’
I am sure he has a book of his own compositions.
