meaning:
i?kaNTi= I saw
?shukravAramu= friday
gaDiya + lE + iNTa = gadiya was a measure of time in olden days and is a little more than a hour. 7 gadiya would be aprroximately about 9am. Tirumala poojas were not performed at 3am or so as being done now -a-days mainly due to the huge numbers of worshippers...?

In this song Annamayya describes the worship process done on friday mornings where one gets the digambara darshanam of the lord, without any decoration. And then Annamayya goes on to describe the ritual in detail...?

swamini = my lord
Meaning: (After the camphor) Something(?) was placed on fire to melt and then carried on silver plates. It was spread nicely all over the body. My lord was smiling and having fun all along the celebration.
In this charanam he refers to sAmrAni: the gum extracts which traditionally was put on fire and applied to women???s and kids hair and body. Muripemu is a feeling which Yashoda has when she sees Krishna; love, happiness, fun everything mixed together. So the meaning is:
The hair on the head was leveled by hitting the 'punuku' gently; then the locks were set; Then it (sAmrAni) was molten on cinders put on silver plates and applied heavily to his whole body; I have seen in this celebration, with happiness and and love, the naked (meaning minimally dressed) Lord.
