1.O Lord of Holy form! O Supreme Lord Beyond everything! I desired service at Your Holy feet; O Lord Sri Rama! Which are the other Gods who protected these Brahmanas, like You, being Ocean of Mercy? 2. I believed totally that You are the Lord who is most merciful towards the humble; further, O Lord Sri Rama - destroyer of arrogance of demons! I always entreated You. 3. You alone are the Lord manifest in this World; who ever survived without Your grace? O Lord with elongated eyes like the petal of Lotus - born of water - who is the witness of the Universe! O Lord who is on the side of this Thyagaraja! Won’t You condescend to govern me now by any means whatsoever?

Variations

• ¹Elukona manasu rAdA –ElukO manasu rAdA : Elukona manasu rAdA - is the appropriate version.
• ²nI pAda – nI pada
• ³kOritiyI – kOritiyE - kOritira : kOritiyI - seems to be more appropriate.
• ⁴sAkSAtkAramu – sAkSAtkAramuna

Commentary

• ⁵jIvanaja – jIvana - also means ‘water’ – life giver; therefore 'jIvanaja’ means Lotus – water born.
