I used the KannadaKasturi dictionary link provided by drshrikaanth and arrived at the following. Maybe other posters can help fill in/correct.

sompAda = elegant, beautiful
ninna = Thy
suguNa = noble
AvaLi = lineage
impa=
banNipe = having been done/produced
indIvara+akshi = having eyes resembling the lotus

indIvaram; water lily (blue lotus, if you wish) which opens at night when the moon is out, I would think. Just look at S. Rajam's paintings for such eyes!
