In this beautiful padam of Kshetrayya, a Swiya Divya nayika reminisces her love for Varada, her husband who is away on a journey. She feels his presence all around her and pens her thoughts in a letter.

Pallavi:
nAmanasuvanTide nI manasaithe
nA nOmuphalamIDErurA – sAmi
If your heart is similar to mine (if you feel as much as I do), all my austerities towards you have borne fruit.

Anupallavi:
vEmAru cherukuna panDupanDinaTlu
vEDuka inumaDinchErA OrI varadA
As the sugar cane bears fruit a thousand times/repeatedly, our love/union will increase multi-fold upon your return, oh my dear varda!

Charanam:

While climbing up the stairs I see my shadow and feel you are right behind me in embrace, oh dear! I As I sit down to sing with a Tambura, I feel that you are singing along with me, O dear! I find myself having conversations with you. For the words I utter, it sounds as though you are responding to every sound, every word, O dear! Only you know of my incomparable love for you. Who else can I talk about it Oh Varada!?
