Meaning:
The holy name Rama is constantly on the lips of Shiva, Brahma and the celestials like Indra. Should not His glory be sung? Decked in unalloyed golden ornaments, contemplating on His charming face lit up with divine smile, should not his glory be sung? His rosy lips, array of teeth like pearls and his blooming cheeks, contemplating on which, should not his glory be sung? Please listen to the counsel of this Tyagaraja and sing in abandon the tarakanama. It will enable you to cross over this vale of sorrow to spiritual bliss.
