MEANING:

Hey spellbound girl, do you not hear the birds chirping and talking to each other?
Dont you hear the rumblings from the necklaces of cowherd girls (with fragrant hair) as a result of the movement of their hands due to churning of the curd? Oh leader of the girls, why is that even after hearing the hymns and chants of Kesava (alias of Narayana), that you are inclined to sleep?Oh splendorous girl please come and open the door.
