Meaning:
pallavi: Oh RaamachandrA ! I have now come to know about the sins that I committed in my previous births (toli Janmamuna jEyu-dhDuku delsEnu , Raama )

anupallavi:The results of these sins are very perceptible to me now. The situation is clear as a fruit in the palm of my hand. One does not need a mirror to see the boil in one's palm ( phalamEmO yarachEthi pumDi kaddhamu valEnA ).

caraNam : Will the superior Varahu SamphA crop (fine paddy sprout) survive in the midst of raagi crop? Will it be compatible with the Raagi crop? No ! Similarly , the auspicious fruits resulting from Your Naama SankIrthanam will be destroyed by its association with the sins from poorva JanmAs . The merit of Your holy name will be incompatible with the company of my sins !
