Show Details		1. O Messenger of Sri Rama! O Son of Vayu - who dried up the ocean – store-house of waters – called the terrible demons in the same way as sage Agastya – born of pitcher who sipped the ocean; resident at the root of the tree Parijata! who moves about with the speed equivalent to wind; deign to protect me.

2. O Messenger of Sri Rama! O Son of Vau - subduer of the malefic planet(s) by his feet; the purifier of those who have fallen from their path; the most excellent among those masters of Veda and Sastra; the blemish-less minded; deign to protect me ever.

3. O Messenger of Sri Rama! O Son of Vayu - the Lotus Faced resembling (in colour) that of rising Sun; who shines as if a crore Suns have appeared together; who holds in his hands the holy feet of Sri Rama; the wind – carrier of fragrance - which drives away the cloud of impurities of this Kali Yuga; deign to protect me.

4. O Messenger of Sri Rama! O Son of Vayu – brimming with the nectar of compassion towards devotees; whose body is like the Mount mEru – the golden mountain; besought by the great devotees of Lord; bestower of boons to devotees; praised by this Thyagaraja; deign to protect me.
