Meaning for some stanzas:
p: say all you (enniro) rama rama sita
A: This name, when regularly chanted(nEmadinda) will will grant (KoDuva) (all) wishes(kAmita) of (all) chanters(bhajisuvavara ?all those who pray)
C
caraNam 6
(though) this body(jiva) looks rock solid(kallinante), it cannot stand(nilladante) death(maraNa); (why ? in spite of that) the name of pullanabha krishna?s name(sollu) does not (bArado) to ones mouth(bAyige)? [Note: the word vyAle does not appear to be from the original ? but is not very significant]
8b: (If one chants the name of rama) there is (untu) satisfaction of ones wishes(iSta) in this world(Ihadalli) and happiness(sukha) in the other world(paradalli), (even then) why the chanting (smarane) of vara purandaravithala?s (name) does not come(odagadO) does not come in the mouth(bAyige)?
