 Meaning

Oh, Sudati (one having attractive teeth)!.  Please tell my beloved about my longing.
Oh, dear friend!  You are with me always, my mind is very much tired due to becoming the target of Cupid's arrows.
Oh, Carusile (lovely character).  What could be the reason for losing his interest in me these days?  Oh, Vidhumukhi (having a moon-like face).  I am immersed in the ocean of desires and am languishing!  Dear Sundari!  When will he make me happy by giving me the nectar of his lips?
Even the pleasant rays of the moon burn me like the rays of the sun.  He is the repository of virtues,  why is he so unkind to me?  If at all he does have any feeling left for me, pray why is he tarrying without coming to my rescue and remove my sorrows?
Every moment spent without his company is like an eon to me.  Oh, Srasijaksha!  My sorrow is insurmountable, Oh my dear lady, having a gait of beautiful movement like a swan (Hamsa).  Without feeling shy, please go to my husband Kanjanabha and tell him about me.
