Meaning

Oh the fish-eyed goddess, the one who gives shelter to the dejected ones, why are you hesitating to protect me?

Oh Devi, the one who rejoices in music, there is no one who is equal to you in this world.

Oh, the consort of the one who has serpents as his ornaments (shiva), please listen to my sincere requests.  There is no one other than you on this earth, Oh Ba”ngAru Bomma!

Oh, the one whose face is like the moon, whose teeth resemble jasmine flowers, the daughter of the snow-clad mountain HimavAn, the ever youthful kaumAri, the supporter of the entire universe, please be kind enough to appear before me, and  bestow upon me the boons.

Oh, the one with gaits like an elephant, the sister of Lord shyAmak.rSNa, the protector of kAma (cupid), bhavAni, one who is decorated with a crescent moon, and one having cloud-like dark tresses, please grant me your presence without any further delay.
