Brahmotsavam’s Naidorintikada Lyrics Translation
Sirivennela Seetharama Sastry details escalating offers from village headmen, including chickens and a gold necklace. The young woman confides to her aunt that her heart “skipped a beat” in response. This interaction progresses to physical contact after she accepts a gift.

Maayamma Thammulu Maaku Mena MaamaluMy mother’s brothers are my protective uncles.

The song’s final instructions shift from reporting events to preparing for a rendezvous. The aunt tells the young woman to light a lamp and call for her suitor if he is late. This “Naidorintikada” lyrics translation shows a move from recipient to active participant.
