Meaning:

Yashoda played with the Savior of the world.

Thinking that the Savior of the world was her son, Yashoda played with embodiment of all great qualities.

The one whose greatness is infinite and beyond measure, Yashoda played with the gem amongst children.

The one who is smaller than the atom and bigger than infinity, Yashoda played with him.

The one who is the supreme being, son of Vasudeva, the Vitthala of Purandara, Yashoda played with him.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Notes:

v  vAsudEva and vAsu are other names for Vishnu, whose usage predates the birth of vAsudEva Krishna.

v  B.S. Rajaiyengar is credited with the first known recording of the song in Kapi.

v M.S. Subbulakshmi's recital of the song at the United Nations is probably its best-known rendition.

O handsome lord of the Southern Dwarka,

Sri Rajagopala deva!

With a smiling face...

Notes:

v  The composer of the Bhairavi Ata Tala Varnam is Pachchimiriyam Adiyappayya who lived in the 18th century.He is the guru of Syama Sasthry, one of the trinities of the Carnatic Music. Adiyappayya is well known for contributing the musical form Tana Varna. For this reason, he is known as the “Tana Varna Margadarsi”. He was also a great Vainika.

Though Adiyappayya has composed many krithis and varnams, his varnam in Bhairavi raga “Viriboni”, set to Khanda Jathi Ata Talam, the first of its kind, remains unsurpassed.

v  The town Mannargudi in Tamilnadu is referred to as Dakshina Dwaraka in Sanskrit. Its presiding deity is Krishna in the form of Rajagopala.

v  momu is the derivative (tadbhava) form of  the Sanskrit mukha. mukhamu » mohamu » momu.

v  M.S. Subbulakshmi's redering of Viribhoni is considered the masterpiece in the Music Recording World.

Meaning:

O Rama! Supreme among Raghus! Missing your charming smile-lit face I languish here. Knowing my mental plight, can't you come and protect me ?

O One who holds Govardhana hill! Members of your retinue who have the duty of reminding you of your daily engagements cannot fail in their duty. 

Does not Garuda execute your commands expeditiously ? Could he have excused himself saying that he was staying far from the earth in Vaikunta, your heavenly abode ? Exalted Lord! Ruler of the Universe! Whom else can I appeal to ? Please shun disregard. I cant bear it. Take me into your fold.

Meaning:

O Mother! You are the daughter of the Pandya king Malayadhwaja,

You are the lady with the face glowing green.

O Mother! You have the beauty of the moon.

You have the great expertise in all the arts,

You allow equal rights to all the creeds,

You are soft and sweet spoken,

You express affection in music and rhythm,

You inspire us with your beautiful and expressive song,

You have gained fame for killing the demon, Mahishasura,

You protect and care for Sri Krishna Rajendra, the Maharaja of Mysore,

Even pray to Siva and the mother Parvati.

Mother! You glow with the blue colour,

You care for the whole world,

You glow like a full moon.

Notes:

"Maate Malayadhwaja" is a prayer to the Hindu goddess Madurai Meenakshy Devi.
