Summary

Oh lord! You took the form of the universe and I am longing to listen to your sweet words to my heart’s content and as a feast to my ears. Lord of Sakethapura, just as how Anjanya and Bharata have overheard your delightful chat with beautiful sIta, while you were looking at each other with true love after you won the game of vomanaguntalu (Mancala) with her, I too want to hear those words and I am praising you to grant me that wish.
