Meaning of 'ododi vandhen kanna' in dharmavathi raagam composed by Ambujam krishna:

Pallavi
Realizing (aRindu) the relationship/bond/connection (uRavu) between (uLLa) you (unakkum) and me (enakkum) , I have come (vandEn) running (ODOdi) to you, Oh krishNa (kaNNA)!

Anupallavi
After observing (Seidu) countless (kOTAnukOTi - literally 'many crores') austerities (tavam), hailing (azhaittu) you as (enRu) gOvindA, (I have come running) to/near (iDai) brindAvan (brindAvanattu) in order to see (kANA) you (unai)!


Charanam
The faces (mugam) of the gOpis (gOpiyargaL) uniting with/meeting (kUDUm) you as they behold (kANavE) your charming, flute-playing (kuzhal-Udum) grace/beauty (ezhil), display conflicting emotions : they drop their eyes, overcome by shyness (nANavE) even as their faces (mugam), desirous of (vizhaiyunra) love (kAdal), seek (nADavE) you! And watching this, you get a kick out of this, and a small, mischievous smile (muruval) plays at the corners (Oram) of your lips (idazh), causing a fleeting (ODavE) dimple (Suzhittu) on your cheeks. As you, the Lord (nAthan) of the world (jagat) create (pADa) music (iSai), and the woman/women (nangai) intone (pODa) the jatis, and as (ena) all (ellAm) time (kAlakAlam) forms the Sruti and rhythm (layamum) to this music, we see the essence (poruL) of the vEdas unite (onRi) and reside (uRaindiDavE) within you (onnil). Therefore, my Lord, filled (koNDu) with love (kAdal) for you that has arisen from supreme wisdom/knowledge/understanding (bodham migu) of your greatness, (I have come running to you) to lay it at (tanil) your divine/golden (pon) feet (aDi).
