i need help with the meaning of some lines in this kriti,

shRi nandAtmaja shrtajanapAla shRikara kishalaya lAlanalOla

what is the meaning of "shrIkara kisalaya lAlanalOla"
kisalaya in sanskrit means creeper or bud, i think.

pATita suraripu pAdapa brnda pAvana carita parAmrta kanda
i want the meaning of this whole line.

And, what is the meaning of nATya rasOtkaTa.
i think this breaks down into nATya rasa utkaTa. utkaTa in sanskit means very strong ( thats not the exact word),. how does it fit in this line??

thanks in advance

Refer: http://www.kuchipudi.com/htmlfiles/glosgovardhana.htm

shRi nandAtmaja shrtajanapAla shRikara kishalaya lAlanalOla

nanda + Atmaja = being born to nanda (a yAdava)
Shr.tajanapAla = One who protects the destitute
ShrIkara = One Who does good
kisalaya lAlana lOla = (figurative) means (roughly) One Who relishes the company of damsels (in this case, the gOpIs) like a creeper

ShrIkara could also means the hand of Lakshmi(which is soft as a kisalaya ie tender shoot (tulir in Tamil) )

Yes Ranjani,
you are also right.
