English translation
Pallavi
Whatever you tell for the actions of Krishna,
Is there any possibility of opposing,
For applying oil to him , I told , “come here”,
Saying “wait , wait , I will come”, he ran away,
And came with a calf along with its rope,
And pointing to that told, “apply oil to it.”
Anupallavi
Lady , please hear what I say and ,
Please see all his mischief personally,
From the time this king came over here ,
His mischief kept has reached the boundary,
When I ask all people who come or go from here,
They would say that he did lot of mischief,
After saying that he did mischief they would,
Also request me not to chide him.
Charanam
That day also, I told him to come to eat,
He came saying “yes”,
He saind mother should close her eyes and give,
Then only I will eat the food,
When I think of it, even today I feel shy,
To think that , Our Krishna did like this,
Without my knowing he made his father ,
Who was standing behind to extend his hands and went away,
What shall I tell my6 intelligence,
When I put small quantity thinking it will be too much for his flower like mouth,
When I accidentally opened my eyes , I saw my husband ,
Extending his hand and eating the food.
