Meaning:
Devotees! Pour gently on Sri Ramachandra - a basketful of choice fragrant Camaka, lotus flowers, eschewing improper actions with traditional discipline.
Choose flowers of the highest class available in this world for His worship, of limitless prowess, this Hari rose like the spotless Moon from the ocean of the solar dynasty.
Your heart showers the Kumuda flower of devotional emotion on Him, on One who is extolled by Brahma. Shower handfuls of Parijata flowers like rain. To disengage yourself from the endless cycle of
birth and death, scatter flowers on Hari, whom Tyagaraja worships wholeheartedly.
