Simple translation
yaSOdhA, who is having her wide eyes fully decorated with black pigment and black colour hair, securely placed curd, abundant ghee and milk, to be not seen by krishNa; such krishNa who is having a divine hand which is beautiful due to the presence of divine chakra, mercifully consumed all of those. The dhivyadhESam of such amazing sarvESvaran is puLLambUdhangudi where brAhmaNas, who rule over vEdhas and are having no lies in their tongues, are residing and where the crane with reddish feet, went and reached considering the abundant Aral fish in the fertile fields as its food.
Highlights from vyAkyAnam (Commentary)
maiyAr … – Due to vAthsalyam (motherly forbearance) towards krishNa, to not have him become distressed [fearful of seeing a stranger], she will always decorate her eyes with black pigment and have her hair well-combed.
Aychchi maRaiya vaiththa thayir – She will secure everything in a place which is not known to him. She will place the curd in a sandalwood paste container.
neyyAr … – He mercifully consumed ghee and milk too.
nEmi angai mAyan idam – Though he is sarvESvaran, he will also behave as if he does not know where those are hidden and play along with the efforts of yaSOdhA in hiding those.
seyyAr … – Aral fish are filled in the fertile fields; just as hungry people would say “I will eat a whole container of rice”, considering those fish as their food, cranes with reddish feet will reach there.
poyyA – Where the brAhmaNas, who only speak the truth, are residing.
