The version available with me is slightly different. But your version fits in well.

Tarakka bindige neerige hoguve – sourashtra – chapu – purandaradasa

Tarakka bindige nIrige hOguve tArE bindigeya
Bindige odedare onde kAsu tAre bindigeya

rAmanAmavemba rasavuLLa nIrige tAre bindigeya
kAminiyara kUde ekAntavAdenu tare bindigeya

govindaembuva guNavuLLa nIrige tAre bindigeya
avAva pariyalli amrtada nIrige tAre bindigeya

bindumadhavana ghattkke hoguve tAre bindigeya pu
radaravithalage abhisheka mAduve tAre bindigeya.


Meaning: O my sister(akka) bring the pot(bindige=small pot either of metal or of mud), will go(hOguve) to (fetch) water(nIrige), do bring the pot.
A: if the pot breaks, it only costs a paise(kAsu – the smallest portion of a rupee), do bring the pot.

C1:bring the pot for (fetching) water which has the rasa(taste) called rAmanAma; bring the pot so that I can spend some private time (ekAnta) with attractive girls.

C2:bring the pot for (fetching) water which has the quality(guna) called govinda; bring the pot for (fetching) water which has many(aVava) qualities of elixir (amrtava)

C3:bring the pot – I will go to the abode(ghatta) of bindumAdhava; I will perform abhisheka of purandaravithala – bring the pot.
(Note: Perhaps the song refers to the pot as the human body)


This line in your version is different.
AvAva pariyali amrtada pAnake tArE bindigeyA = bring the pot(tAre bindegeya) for drinking the elixir(amtada panakke) in many ways(AvAva pariyalli)

murthymg,
I have also learnt the same version as yours-but in raaga Tilang.
Ireally like this song.
There is one moresong of Purandaradasa-
Ikkalaarada kai yenjelo chikka makkaLu aLuthaarE hOgO dAsayya-
wherein he describes about the human tendency for avoiding charity-what all flimsy excusess we come up with for not doing charity.
This song was taught to us in chaturasra and tisra gathi alternating-
very beautiful song.
This may not be relevant here but still wanted to write because I really like the meaning of the Purandaradasa songs.
I am not a kannadigaa, hence I might have made some mistakes.
Kindly correct them
Thanks

meaning of your post is not clear. Purandaradasa never used the term 'purandaradasa'. It is always purandaravithala.
