Here is what I have:

C: rAmanAthapura pAlakuDau muddu rAmalinga rAjEndra vibhuni abhi-
rAmi rayamuga rakSincumi vArAhi rAjarAjEshvari shankari

rAmanAthapura pAlakuDau = the ruler of ramanathapura
muddu rAmalinga rAjEndra vibhuni= the king Ramanlinga
abhi-rAmi = the one who is abode of all good qualities
rayamuga (This should be either ramyamuga (please) or rAyamuga (royally)
rakSincumi = bless
vArAhi = I understand that this is another name for Devi as the consort of varAhaswAmy and actually is a female name for varAha
rAjarAjEshvari shankari (thsi is obvious)

The rough translation is thus:
Oh abhirAmi, vArAhi, bless the ruler of Ramantha pura, the great king Ramalinga.

Could it be varAlu iyyu (varAliyyu = give me boons) and not varAhi?

Ravi
It is vArAhi only. There is already a verb "rakShincu" for one and varAliyyu would be superfluous. I have heard the cassette version which has vArAhi. Also, varAliyyu has a mAtre more than vArAhi. Also note that, the King/Lord of rAmanAthapura, who is a giver of various gifts is being praised here. It is only appropriate to pray for him to be protected rather than given boons.

rayamugA means anon/quickly. In kannaDa also, raya means swiftly.

thanx for the meaning need two clarification on what does the word vibhuni mean and varahi refers to bhudevi or is it another name for shankari

When Devi takes the form of Lalita/Rajarajeswari, she is flanked by Mantrini and Dandini who are her minister and commander-in-chief respectively. Dandini is also called Varahi and has a wild-boar face. It is common to refer to these 2 shaktis as undistinguished from Lalita herself. Hence Varahi is Shankari only

vibhu means king/sovereign...vibhuni is probably of/for the king
