vAsudEva kamalAsana vandita meaning

[mahavishnu]

Could someone please provide the meaning for this piece? It was popularized by Smt MSS in the 70s; I haven't heard too many people sing it since.

I googled and found the lyrics that Lakshman-ji had provided in a different forum. The words appeared slightly different in MSS's version.

I was not able to determine the composer. Any help is greatly appreciated.

vAsudEva kamalAsana vandita. rAgA: cenjuruTi. Adi tALA.

1: vAsudEva kamalAsana vandita shESa shayana rAdA dAsuni nammiti mOsamu jEsitE dOSamu nIkErA

Here is the meaning for Smt M.S Amma's version::

vAsudEva,praised by Brahma {kamalAsana], reclining on ShESha,come,{I am} the servant,

I trust you,if betrayed,the fault is yours {only} [1]

Supporter of mandara {mountain} blessed mucukunda,indra praises your Feet

brndAraka ,other sages prostrate,{to you},the Handsome, you destroy the enemies [2]

assuming that You are Brave I held on to Your hand. Do not forsake me[after offering Your hand]

if You involve me in the empty delusion {of this life} I will counterpoise it any time [3]

{I} surrender, surrender,Lord of The Earth,merciful,will you not look kindly at me?

on this earth You reside as narahari in the city of gajapuram.[4]

[mahavishnu]

Thank you so much. Do you know who the composer is?

[aaaaabbbbb]

I do not know, who composed this song.

[kartheeksharma]

may be annamacharya

[aaaaabbbbb]

This does not seem to be composed by Sri Annamacarya.
His ankita or mudra generally is venkatesha or venkatapati.
The line in the fourth caranam,karipuramuna velasina narahari may be the mudra of the composer.

[rshankar]

I have a version where it is nanniTu instead of nammiti in the first verse.

Smt. Savitri, I think that should work too, right?

[aaaaabbbbb]

rshankar ji,

It fits perfectly.

The meaning would be::

vAsudEva,praised by Brahma {kamalAsana], reclining on ShESha,come,{I am} the servant,

if you betray me like this,the fault is yours {only} [

Regards.

[Lakshman]

My guess for the author is Naraharidasa.
