Meaning: In this Kriti Sri Annamacharya identifies reasons for the difficulties and worries faced by the human beings in this materialistic world. He analyzes that human beings have been doing such deeds which are not supposed to be done and have note been doing which are supposed to be done. He laments, "Lo! how long should this birth-cycle continue?"

Pallavi: Lo! how long should this birth-cycle continue? And how long should I be entangled in the clutches of incessant worries?

Charanam 1: It is only because of linking myself to the attachments that I had to pull myself through the horrible rebirth. It is again because of soaking myself into the worldly transient enjoyments that I had to enter into this dirty bag of flesh and blood.

Charanam 2: It is only because of getting entangled into series of sinful deeds that I had to bear this human body, which is beset with lot of ailments and diseases. It is because of my incapability to see and visualize the invisible happiness (the eternal enjoyment due to the communion with the Lord), that I had to circle round and round a fire of light like an insect and eventually get burnt for good.

Charanam 3: It is because of not worshiping the Lord Venkateshwara that I had to fall into the abyss of hell. It is because I am not able to enjoy the compassion of the Lord, I have to beg and entreat all dry and sundry for the sake of my livelihood and run from pillar to post.
