In this song, Annamaiah says that Sri Hari's actions and preachings are inscrutable. He adds that it is beyond our comprehension to believe that ordinary mischievous boy Krishna is himself the great philosopher and preacher.

P	eduTa nunnaDu veeDe ee bAluDu madi teliya mamma yEmarulO gAni ||	This boy, who is in front of you, is beyond our comprehension. Why is this ignorance?
C1	parama purushuDaTa paSula gAchenaTa saravu lenchina vina sangatA idi hari ye tAnaTa muddu landariki chEse naTa iravAyanamma suddu lETivO gAni ||	He was a cowherd but he is said to be the great person. Can you believe that He is Hari that is loved by all? How can we understand his preachings ?
C2	vEdAla koDayaDaTa vennalu dongile naTa nAdinchi vinnavAriki nammikA idi Adi moola mitaDaTa aDikela chAtalaTa kADamma ee sudduleTTi katalO kAni||	He is the master of Vedas. He is the butter thief. Can the listeners of his songs believe this? He is said to be primordial. He is blamed for his mischievous deeds. How can we understand his preachings?
C3	ala brahma tanDri yaTa, yaSOdaku biDDa yaTa kola dokariki cheppa kooDunA ide telipi Sree venkaTAdri dEvuDai niliche naTa kaladamma tana kentO karuNO gAni ||	He is Brahma's father. He is Yashoda's dear child. Is it possible to believe all this? He has become the god of Venkatadri. He is all merciful.

Annamaiah enumerates a number of mundane activities of people who forget the spiritual and eternal values. He wonders why people are in such a delusion (maya).

P	yekkaDi mAnusha janmam bettina phala mEmunnadi nikkamu ninnE nammiti nee chittam bikanu ||	What is the use of this human birth? I truly believe in you only. It is left to your free will. ||
C1	maravanu AhArambunu maravanu samsArasukhamu maravanu indriya bhOgamu mAdhava nee mAya maracheda sujnAnambunu maracheda tatva rahasyamu maracheda guruvunu daivamu mAdhava nee mAya ||	I do not forget food or family pleasures. I do not forget physical enjoyment. O Madhava, it is all your maya (delusion). I forget knowledge and philosophic secret. I forget my teacher and God. It is Madhava's maya.
C2	viDuvanu pApamu puNyamu viDuvanu nA durguna mulu viDUvanu mikkili yAsalu vishNuDa nee mAya viDicheda shat karmambulu viDicheda vairAgyambunu viDicheda nAchArambunu vishNuDa nee mAya ||	I am not aware what sin is and what piety is. I do not leave greed. O Vishnu, it is all your maya. I neglect my religious rituals and forget detachment. I ignore customs and traditions. O Vishnu, it is all your maya.
C3	tagileda bahu lampaTamula tagileda bahu bandhamula tagulanu mOkshapu mArgamu talapuna entainA agapaDi Sree vEnkaTESwara antaryAmi vai nagi nagi nanu nee vEliti nAkA ee mAya ||	I am drawn into entanglements and many bonds. I do not cling to the path of liberation. I would not even think of it. Oh Sri Venkatesa, you are seen as my inner self. You rule me smilingly. Why then, for me too this delusion?

In this song Annamaiah tells that the grace of God depends on how well a person thinks of the almighty irrespective of the various ways of worship.

P	enta mAtramuna evvaru talachina anta mAtramE neevu antarAntamu lenchi chooDa pinDantE nippaTi yannaTlu ||	Oh Venkatapati,your presence and grace depend upon how well a person thinks about you.When I observe sincerely,it is just like the size and quality of a pan-cake depending on the batter.
C 1	koluturu mimu vaishNavulu koorimitO vishNuDani palukuduru mimu vEdAntulu para brahmambanuchu talaturu mimu Saivulu tagina bhaktulanu SivuDanuchu alari pogaDuduru kApAliku lAdi bhairavuDanuchu ||	The Vaishnavas worship you with reverence as Vishnu. The Vedic philosophers tell that you are the Supreme Conscience. The Saivas believe that you are Siva and the Kapalikas praise You as Adibhairava.
C 2	sari nennuduru SAktEyulu Sakti roopu neevanuchu dariSanamulu mimu nAnA vibhulanu talapula koladulu bhajinturu sirula mimu nE alpabuddhi talachina vAriki alpambouduvu garimala mimu nE ghanamani dalachina ghana buddhulaku ghanuDavu||	The Sakteyas consider you as the manifestation of the supreme power Sakti. People chant your praise in a number of ways.Ignorant people assume that you are insignificant.The wise recognise that your greatness is infinite.
C 3	nee valana koratE lEdu mari neeru koladi tAmeravu Avala bhAgiradhi dari bAvula A jalamE oorinayaTlu Sree venkaTapati neevaitE mamu chEkoni vunna daivamani eevalanE nee SaraNanedanu idiyE paratatvamu nAku. ||	You are like the vast water pool to spread the lotus flowers. It is only the water of Bhagiradhi river that seeps into the wells by her side. Oh Sri Venkatapati,you are our protector. I surrender at your feet.It is transcendental bliss for me.
