Meaning:
Enough of your tricks. We will no longer be carried away by them, Sri Krishna, with lotus eyes!
Commune with us and enjoy the Bliss, which is even beyond Lord Siva and others. Taken in by your beautiful lips and array of teeth, fascinated we have come to you
in passionate love. O Saviour of the wise. We never suspected that your word will prove us treacherous as Salyas, as the charioteer of Karna. Carried away by your sweet and engaging words, we fell passionately in love with you
and have come to you for satisfaction. We were not aware that you would be capable of such rank deceit as, silently pinching the child and rocking the cradle at the same time. We believed that as one, worshipped by Tyagaraja, you would behave well. So, we have come here with great affection for you.
O Lord reclining on Adisesha! Do not reject our request and respond suitable Sri Krishna!
