Meaning:
Of what use are the eyes which cannot with deep contemplation comprehend the beauty of the Lord sleeping on the serpent couch? Of what use is the sight of those eyes? Of what use is the body which does not passionately embrace that of Sri Hari, radiant like the blue clouds? Of what use is this mortal coil? Of what use are the hands which do not worship Sri Hari with flowers like the lotus, jasmine, tulasi, viravAji, and pArijAta? Of what use is this residence? Of what use is this tongue which does not extol SrI RAma, who affectionately protects TyAgarAja? Of what use is the rosary?
