Meaning:
My saviour Rama! You are surrounded by kings all over. This is the most opportune time To protect me. Let me have the previlege of worshipping your feet. Very well! I felt convinced that you are the fruit of all my penance inprevious births. O Lotus eyed! I embellished your feet with nalangu. Your beauty of a crore of Cupids is installed in my mind. O eternal Rama! As a fruit of worship in the past birth I have been blessed with the vision of your feet. Is it possible for even Brahma to know you? O the one that purifies the destitute! If you do not protect, who else is our refuge? Please protect us without any delay. O spouse of Shri! Having you alone, wanting to have your darshana of your feet alone repeatedly, My heart has been longing passionately. As a treasure being found by a very poor man, you have been found by me. O giver of boons to Tyagaraja! I bow to you.
