===============================================================
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!
