I became the devotee of Vallabha Nayaka, the bestower of the desired boons, seated on the mount of his choice, the mouse (“Mooshika”).
His feet are as soft as the tender shoots.
He sports a noose, a goad and other weapons in his hands.
He is adorned with garlands of Jaati (jasmine), champaka flowers and also with gem studded necklace.
He is the cause for bringing about the marriage of Valli with Subramanya. He is worshipped by Guruguha and adored by Kaali, Saraswati and the lotus eyed Lakshmi.

Meaning:
O beautiful Rangayya, why are you spiteful?
Always, I believed your feet to be my destination.
Hearing the elephant cry out, You went fast, killed the
crocodile, got the title 'protector of the elephant', extolled by
celestial beings as protector of the fallen, please hear my prayer.
Is it heavy (difficult) for you to protect me?
If you stay put thinking that this is ok, I am not one to leave you.
O lotus eyed, killer of demons, I know nothing else except your thoughts.
I prayed to you thinking you are the Maintainer of the universe.
Is it proper for you to stay without properly hearing me?
O father of Cupid!
Why are you (refusing) to give me the boon?
Is it possible for me to praise you, who, with great compassion, gave clothes to Draupadi in the congregation (of Kauravas)?
You are the Lord of the prosperous Rangapuri, in all ways, the son of Ranga,
Do not recollect the mistakes I have done knowing or unknowing.
I surrender to you.
