meaning:

Oh my Mind, don't get entangled in the drama of life because all the parodies are nothing but the Lord's making and His creation.

Oh my Mind, remember the stories of 'Gajendra Moksha' and 'Mohini Avatharam' all the time for they are our lessons and reminders to quell evil desires; because falsity is sweet and credible; truth indeed prevails just like a clear morning after each foggy night.

Identical to the association of merchants which is formed for mutual benefit and support, one is attracted towards the institutions of marriage and family; where pomp and pride are merry and joyous. But all glorious fame is lost by the dusk.

When everything is possible and easy for a human being, he thinks that everything is his making and he himself can conquer the whole world! As time passes by... when one realises that everything one had or made is trivial, the mind traverses towards the Lord to seek His company. And when he achieves the company of Lord Venkateswara, what else one can have? The drama is bound to go offscreen then!
