===============================================================

MEANING: (From TK Govinda Rao’s book)

O Rama! Show me kindness! Am I not your devoted servant?

O One with feet worshipped by Yogis like Sanaka! One who lives in Ayodhya! One who looks after the welfare of devotees!

When I regard you alone as my Mother, Father, Mentor and God, my pitiable plight should make you grant me refuge. Abode of virtues! Protector of Tyaagaraja! Show me your kindness!
