Meaning:
Please reveal to me the high-souled men who christened you. O Raamayyaa! Sublime and supreme, your name is the quintessence of divinity. No wonder your name is referred to Taaraka naama, enabling devotees chanting it to cross the ocean of worldly bondage and acquire beatitude. Your name has been adopted unequivocally by all creeds. It has the unfailing power of destroying the most iniquitous sins at the root and branch. Tyaagaraaja prays always with deep devotion to you.
