Oh Venkateswara, where do these people find stability? You alone can save them compassionately.
C 1 tanajanma vidhulanu talachu nokkokka vELa
vonara marachu nokkokka vELa

penachi sandEhamulE penchu nokavELa ||
Some times he is mindful of duties of life. Soon he forgets his duties. Sometimes he listens to Puranas. But he sometimes nurtures doubts in them.
C 2 visigi samsAramandu viratuDaunokavELa
vosagi yandE mattuDau nokavELa
pasigoni indriyAla banTai vunDu nokavELa
musipitO daivAnaku mokku nokavELa ||
Sometimes he is disgusted with life. Another time he is enchanted by charms of life. He even becomes slave to sensual pleasures. Again he prostrates before God.
C 3 kOri tapamulu chEsi guNiyau tAnokavELa
voorakE alasi vunDu nokavELa
ee reeti Sri Venkatesa yedalO vunDagAnu

Sometimes he wantonly performs prayers and becomes virtuous. He sometimes remains silent. When Sri Venkatesa is in his heart, he cries for you in moments of weakness.
