O builder of the causeway on the Ocean! O Lord saluted by Indra!
One sung about by Siva and others, abiding in the hearts of pious people!

Please protect me, O Lord with emerald-like body!
One enamoured by the precious Lakshmi! O Nourisher of dependants!
One with terrifying prowess! O Lord worshipped by the very hands of Bhima!
O Lord far-removed from people given to inertia (darkness) and passion (action)!
O Lord whose feet is praised by Thyagaraja!

[edit] Variations

  • 2zrI maNi - strI maNi: The latter means "gem among women," a reference to Sita. In the krti Rama katha, Tyagaraja similarly calls Sita "bAmA maNi."
  • 3bhIma karArcita - bhIma narArcita. The latter means "worshipped by mighty men."

[edit] Commentary

  • 1muni zApa: Gautama's curse of Ahalya. Ref. Valmiki Ramayana, Bala Kanda, Chapters 48 and 49. (Link)
  • 3bhIma karArcita – Bhima is one of the eleven forms of Rudra - Ekadasa Rudra. (Incidentally, Ekadasa Rudra is a festival celebrated in the island of Bali, Indonesia.)
