tALa: ChApu/rUpaka
rachane: shrI vAdirAjaru

loka bharitanO raMga anEka charitano /pa/

Meaning of the song:

RANGA (raMga) with numerous (anEka) chronicles (charitano); is filled (bharitanO) in this world (lOka).
Protects (poreva) his devotees (EkAMta bhaktara) by destroying (taridu) evil (kAku) elements (janara)

There were many emperors/kings (rAja rAjariralu) in the assembly of RAJASUYA YAGA (rAjasUya yAgadalli).
But Dharmanandana (dharmarAjasutanu) decided to honour (mannisidanAga)
HIM as respectable person (sabhA pUjyaneMdu) for that meeting.

Leaving aside all other kings (mikka nRupara jaridu),
RUKMINI (rukmiNi) garlanded (mAleyikkidaLAga) infinitly valoured (amitavikrama) YADUVARA (yaduvarane),
deciding that HE is the perfect match for her (tanage takka ramaNaneMdu).

PRASANNA HAYAVADANA KRISHNA (prasanna hayavadana kRuShNa),
attracted by his devotees (tanna sEvaka janarigolidu),
Made his permanent place (ghanna maMdira) and settled at UDUPI (unnata uDupiyalli niMta).
