Meaning

I have spent all my life wastefully, alas! spent wastefully!
Alas! by losing my heart to a woman of ill repute
I have sinned by neglecting my wife whom I married as ordained by tradition. I have given a great amount of sorrow to my old parents.
because of my pride, it did not even occur to me to feed the hungry brahmins.  I have thus become the receptacle of all sins.
I had not taken bath in the holy rivers.  I have lost my brilliance.  Alas! I have never paid obeisance to the lotus feet of Sri Padmanabha.
