Here it is with some corrections. But if you can send me the audio, I think I can fix the doubtful sections, which I have highlighted in bold.

P: nInE doDDavanO ninna dAsaru doDDavarO hairyE ?
A: nAnAdharati nidAnidE nInE bhakarAdhInanAdamElE
C: taraLanu kareyalu bharadi kambadi bandu nara mrga rUpadindavana kAydE
varagaLIva purandara viThalana svaravaga madadalli sEradidda mElE

-Ramakriya

Here it is with all corrections (and some intelligent guesswork) :

P: nInE doDDavanO ninna dAsaru doDDavarO hariyE ?
A: nAnAdaradi nidAnisi nODalu nInE bhaktarAdhInanAdamEle
C: taraLanu kareyalu bharadi kambadi bandu naramrgarUpadinda avana kAyde
varagaLIva purandara viThalane smaripara madadalli seresikkida mEle

Meaning:

p: Are you greater, or are your devotees greater?
a: When I look carefully and find that you are indeed controlled by your devotees ||who is greater ?||
c: When the young lad called out, you came out of the pillar in the form of Narasimha and protected protect him.
Oh Purandara vithala, when you have been prisoner in the minds of those who recite your name || who is greater?||

I think I have heard TVS sing this in Revati, or is there another composition starting with nInE doDDavanO?

Sri TVS does sing this in rEvati.

This song seems to have another variation as nInE ballidanO, ninna dAsaru ballidarO? - It does not alter the meaning. The sAhitya has several caraNas that illiustrate how Hari is indeed been a prisoner of the devotees.

I will try to update the lyrics later.
