aDugu dATI - mOhana - chApu

P aDugu dATi kadalanivvanu nAkabhaya mivvaka ninnu viDuvanu || Oh Rama, I'll not allow you to go. I'll not leave you untill you assure me protection.
A.P. gaDiya gaDiyaku tirigi tirigi yaDigitini

I implored you again and again and I am tired of begging. If you fail to keep your promise I'll not hesitate to be rude to you.

I'll not allow you to sit calmly. I am not afraid even if you get angry. Please bear it in mind. I'll not care about your special status. I'll imprison your lotus feet in my heart.

I am not going to tolerate if you go on procrastinating. I earnestly believed that you are my protector and worshipped you. If you hide your face and refuse to pardon my sins, I can't endure.

Oh Rama, are you not reputed as the savior of the fallen. Why don't you protect me? Even if Devatas and others regard you as ruler and entreat me to leave you, I'll not leave you.

Oh Rama the annihilator of demons, Oh Lord of Sita, your eyes are beautiful like lotus. You are virtuous. You are precious jewel for devotees. If you consider me ignoble and deny me salvation, I'll take oath to achieve what I want from you.
Oh generous Rama dwelling at Bhadradri , you recline on Adisesha. You are protector of devotees. If I release you due to my weakness and love for you would I not loose my reputation as Bhadradri Ramadasu.
