The corrected text::
a|| navarasamuladI naLinAkShi | javakaTTi nIku javi sEsI ||
ca|| SRuMgAra rasamu celiya mokhaMbuna | saMgati vIrarasamu gOLLa |
raMgagu karuNarasamu pedavulanu | aMgapu kucamula adButa rasamu ||
ca|| celi hAsyarasamu selavula niMDI | palucani naDumuna Bhayarasamu |
kaliki vADi kannula bIBatsamu | ala boma jaMkenala nade raudraMbu ||
ca|| sati rati marapula SAMtarasaMbadi | ati mOhamu padiyavarasamu |
itavuga SrIvEMkaTESa gUDitivi satamai yImeku saMtOsha rasamu ||

The meaning::

This lotus eyed girl is an embodiment of navarasa
In a swift move.she has offered this to you.[p]

Sringara rasa is in her face.vIra rasa is signified by the red colored nails.
karuNa rasa is evident on her lips.Adbhuta rasa is in her breasts,[c1]

Hasya rasa lies in her beauty.The slim waist depicts Bhaya rasa.
Her sharp eyes show BhiBhatsa rasa.Her frowning eyebrows express raudra[c2]

Forgetting herself in her love[for you] is shanta rasa.Her fascination[for you] is the tenth rasa.
Sri vEnkaTEShvara,you have joined her and her happiness is the eternal rasa.[c3]

Corrections welcome.

I have a doubt in this line

The slim waist depicts Bhaya rasa.

How is it that her waist depicts Bhayaanakam?

I wondered about that, and came to the conclusion that bhaya is to be inferred from the tremulous movements of her slender waist, as alamElumangA walks. Please correct me if I am wrong. Many of these rasas are inferred, like the color red denoting vIra...

rshankarji.
your conclusion is right.AlamElumangA dEvi has been described as
The Embodiment of navarasas.

Sorry for the digression but this shloka from saundarya lahari of Sri Shankara Bhagavatpada
expresses what Sri Annamacarya depicted in ‘navarasamuladee’
{51} Shive sringarardhra tad-ithara-jane kutsana-paraa
Sarosha Gangayam Girisa-charite'vismayavathi;
Har'ahibhyo bhita sarasi-ruha-saubhagya-janani
Sakhishu smera the mayi janani dristih sakaruna

Mother of all universe,
The look from your eyes,
Is kind and filled with love, when looking at your Lord,
Is filled with hatred at all other men,
Is filled with anger when looking at Ganga,
The other wife of your Lord,
Is filled with wonder , When hearing the stories of your Lord,
Is filled with fear , when seeing the snakes worn by your Lord,
Is filled with red colour of valour of the pretty lotus fine,
Is filled with jollity, when seeing your friends,
And filled with mercy, when seeing me.

Mukta - funny you should bring up this SlOka from the saudraya lahari! I was thinking about the same thing (sarasIruha saubhAgya janani - for valor)
Isn't kutsana - revulsion/contempt (bibhatsa), and not hatred?

rshankar Sir,
I quoted from another source.My knowledge of sanskrit is limited.
The word kutsana means 'an expression of contempt' as you have pointed.
Thank you Sir.
