Oh Gauri's lord, Lord, who lives in Kailasa, please grant me uninterrupted devotion (like oil flow) in Hari, Oh Shambhu!

Oh, Mahadeva, I have day and night wandered the world as an enthusiastic (worldly) servant, Please don't count my drawbacks, but,
Oh One adorned with serpents, please grant me the conducive dharma of devotion to Vishnu!, Oh Shambhu!

manasu kAraNavalla pApapuNyakkella

The mind is not responsible for good and bad deeds, oh Fiery-eyed one, nothing happens without your inspiration(=instigation)
Rid me of my devilish attachment, I will prostrate myself before you, please make my head bow down at the lotus feet of noble souls

bhAgIrathIdharanE bhayava pariharisayya
lEsAgi nI salahO santata sarvadEvA
bhAgavatajana priya vijaya viThalanghri
jAgu mADade bhajipa bhAgyavanu koDO shambhO

Oh One who holds bhAgIrathi(=ganga) in your crest, please remove my fear,
Gently protect me always, oh Lord of all,
Oh One who loves devotees, grant me
the good fortune of worshipping Lord Vijayavitthala's feet without slackening/delay, oh Sambhu!

Final edit: aligned to Bhimsen Joshi's rendering and sound correct.

danuja gatamama hari danDa parabhavavalbe

It is::*praNamamALpe*

[Rsachi]

It doesn't sound so in the track. ...I heard it a few times.
praNAmamALpe would be I will bow down to you (in gratitude).

[aaaaabbbbb]

I have not listened to SrI Bhimsen Joshi Ji's renditon.
I had learnt this devaranama long back.
By *daNda praNAmamAlpe*
Sri Vijayadasaru might have meant
*dIrGhadanDa praNAma*, a method of offering namaskara.

[Rsachi]

if you click on the word track, you may be able to play it. please see.
the number of syllables seem too many in the typed text, and differ from the sound track. anyway i cannot shed more light on this. so kindly take over, madam!

[aaaaabbbbb]

I listened to the track.
the words are::danDa praNamava mALpe.
Not *praNAmava*

[smala]

Thanks Rsachi for the translation and thanks to Smt. Savitri for additional info. Looks like the line means.. I offer my sashtaang namaskaram, my full-fledged obeisance to you...

You can listen to it here as well :

[Lakshman]

Interestingly he sings it in rAgA khAmbhOj (kAmbhOji).

[Rsachi]

Lakshman-ji, I made the same observation in a comment published by the Hindu at his obit:

[Rsachi]

Smala-ji
I have finally edited my translation above to reflect all changes. Please use it if OK.

[smala]

rsachi, if I may correct your correction it would be... I prostrate myself before you as I offer my obeisances... (sounds better English than 'lie flat') (obeisances can be offered as prostrations, bowing, joining the palms, etc..)

Thank you for taking such keen interest in this wonderful composition and superb rendition from Bhimsenji.

[Rsachi]

Sure! Prostrate exactly means that. Corrected.
