Let me try my hand at it .. request others to jump in with corrections as needed

parama purushuDu gOpAla bAluDainAdu
muraharudu eduTa muddulADInidivO

The supreme being has become a cowherd boy! He who killed Mura is in front of us, kissing (girls) !

vEdapurANAlalO vihariMchEdEvuDu
AdimUlamainaTTi ala brahmamu
SrIdEvi pAliTi chelagE nidhAnamu
sEdadIri yaSOdaku SiSuvAya nidivO

The God who appears in the Vedas and puranas, the Brahma who is the prime cause of everything, the treasure of Sridevi, is now resting as a child of Yasoda!

mokkETi nAradAdula muMdari sAkAramu
akkajapu jIvulalO aMtaryAmi
gakkana brahmakoDukugA ganna paramamu
akkaratO vennamuchchai ATalADI nidivO

(Some words are unclear, here is the gist) He who was worshipped by Narada and others, omnipresent in all the worlds living things, he who appeared to Gakkanabrahma (?), he is here playing!

dEvatalagAchuTaku dikkaina viShNuDu
bhAvamulu okkarUpaina bhAvatatwamu
SrI vEMkaTAdri mIda chEriyunna A varaduDu
kaivasamai golletala kaugiLLa nidivO

The Vishnu who's the refuge of the Devas, the epitome of all feelings, the bestower of boons who lives on Venkatadri, is blissfully hugging the cowherd girls here!

I think the 3rd line here refers to Vishnu, the para brahmam, who begot (gave birth to) Brahma (i.e. Chaturmukha brahma - the one with 4 heads) as his child (koDukugA)

The earlier reference to brahma in 1st stanza should be "brahmam" in the sense of the supreme being, which is the cause of everything (Adimoolam).

Yes, that fits .. I couldn't parse the word "gakkana" and assumed it was a proper name, a reference to some long forgotten person ..
