Deign to sport in my mind.
Even though You abide in the Lotus of the hearts of pArvati, AnjanEya, sage nArada and others, deign to sport in my mind too.

A very beautiful composition indeed! One can only marvel at the depths of Bhakthi that this song conveys...
Unfortunately, it seems impossible to get hold of a good online rendition of this song... Would be grateful if someone could post a link.
After a great struggle, I found the link to audio of both the songs in sudha desi ragam...i.e this one raghunandana rajamohana & endu kaugalindura
