Translation:

PALLAVI:

Come over Ranga (Krishna), give me a kiss once with Your beautiful camphor casket like mouth.

CHARANAM:

1. Am I not captive to You that killed the ogress Pootana who came to feed You with poison? Give me a kiss once with Your mouth that drank the poison.

2. At the time of churning, You grabbed the hand of the lady who was churning the curds. Give me a kiss once with the mouth that immediately ate all the butter and curds.

3. O Narasimha of Thorave, O Boon-giving Purandara Vithala! Give me a kiss once with the mouth that is still covered with froth after drinking all of the milk in the jug.
