[Sundara Rajan]

P:YOU are the source, you are the refuge, please save me with affection/love
A:"Love" burns in me like mirage, crying incessantly I surrender unto you, my lord
Oh, one with the lusture of full moon, how can you test me, I trusted in you, is it fair
to ignore me, my lord ? I see no means of cooling my passion, what can I say,
I suffer from the arrows of Cupid
C: Oh beautiful one, is it fair for you to betray/tease me, it doesn't become you
1: I hoped that you are my refuge, how can you still delay?
2: I don't care for the cukoo's music, peacock's dance nor the cool southern breeze
I am waiting for your arrival, do come without fail
3: Oh kaNNA, I am suffering with passion in lonliness
I am still wide awake, days and nights, my lord
look at me once, listen to my words, I am hurting ,my love
Do come and give me safety and happiness, without letting me down
this is the right time krSNa for you to bless me, your dveotee, maNivaNNA.

[Lakshman]

Thanks very much Sundara Rajan.

You alone (nIyE) are the basis (AdhAram), and you alone are my refuge (aDaikkalam). Please protect (AdaraippAyE) me (ennai) with (uDan) love (anbu)!

anupallavi
kAnal nIr pOl kAdal vATTuginradu kadari kadari sharaN aDaiginrEn svAmi
Love (kAdal) is torturing (vATTuginradu) like (pOl) the water/waves (nIr) by the sea-shore [1]. (Therefore), I cry out in pain/grief (kadari kadari) and seek (aDaiginrEn) refuge (SaraN) in you, my lord (svAmI)!

One who possesses (uDaiyavanE) a form (rUpam) that is as beautiful (kAntamAna) as the moon (candra), it is right for you to test (SOdikkalAmA) me (ennai) so? I have come (vandEn) here having believed (nambi) in you (unnai), is it appropriate (muRaiyA) for you to practice (koLvadu) such neglect (pArAmukham) [2] on (mEl) me (en), my (endan) lord (svAmI)? I am suffering (avadi paDugirEn) from the arrows (bANattAl) of manmatha, and there doesn’t (illai) seem to be a way (vazhi) for my distress (tApam) to dissipate (agala), what (enna) am I to do (SeivEn)?

I do not want (vENDAmE) (to hear) the cooing (kUvuvadum) of the cuckoo (kuyil), (or see) the dancing (ADuvadum) of the peacock (mayil), (or feel) the blowing (vISuvadum) of the gentle breeze (tenral). I am waiting (kAttirukkirEn) in the belief that (enru) you (nI) will come (varuvAi), so, please come (vandu) and unite (sEruvAi) with me, without resorting (SeyyAdu) to treachery (mOsam).
