Meaning:
My Salutations to you. The sion of Raghu race! One who made the sea
fordable, one who delights devotees like frangrance of sandle paste.
Bestower of wealth. Lord of Goddess Lakshmi, why this argument with
me? Am I different from you? Is this pleasure to you, Oh Lord Sriram

Dweller in the heart of Goddess Lakshmi, Is it a burden for you to
show mercy? Or have you compromized? O Lord Sriram

I heard about you, I believed you, I surrendered to you, I called you
for rescuing me O Lord Sriram.
I Will not forget you. I will not shun my devotion towards you. I will
not worship others. I am yours, O Lord Sriram.

I have called you to take "tamboolam" and grant me a boon, O Lord Sriram.

Is this justified by you? Do you really benefit your stand towards me?
Can you be so mean? Lord Sriram who is sung in praise by the sages.
Come to see me, protect me and take me close to your heart, O Lord
Sriram.

To me You are the most safe and elated abode, Your name is an
everlasting principle / mantra, O Lord Sriram.

Come quickly, you are an ocean of mercy, residing in the heart of
Tyagaraja, O Lord Sriram.
