English meaning 
Pallavi 
Why is it that still, you are not kind to me, Oh God who sleeps on the snake, Oh divine one?

Charanam 
1.
I have expired and then taken birth in very many wombs, 
In very many countries at very many times, 
And having fallen in the hell of “me” and “mine”, 
(Show pity) on this devotee who trusts you to be his only refuge

2. I am the lowly sinner overwhelmed by 
The darkness of six enemies such as desire
O Enchanter of Maa (Lakshmi), O Father of Chittaja (Manmatha)
(Show pity) on this devotee who believes your name to be the only haven

2. I have offered all that I have done, 
By mind, speech and body to you, Oh Demon-slayer, 
And whatever I do , Oh Lord my soul is yours, 
Oh Lord of Lakshmi , why are you still not kind, 
On this servant of Puradara Vittala
