Meaning (From www.karnatik.com):
Pray to Lord Shiva, who resides in the silver mountains, the snow-clad Himalayas. Pray,
"You are my guru and God. I meditate on you at all times. I never forget that you are the
treasure of compassion. Oh! MahadEva. You are handsome and grant boons to the dEvas.
You have the moon on your crown. You love the devout. You are the embodiment of
virtues and you destroy sinners. I will not abandon my religious practices but will forever
seek refuge in you, oh Lord Chokkanaatha."

Note (From Ravi Kiran's Book):

Swarajatis are more sophisticated musical forms than geethams, both in terms of size and
quality. They have been composed in the 3rd speed, and generally have a pallavi and a
few Charanams. The charanams are generally rendered once as swaras and the second
time as lyrics. Some swarajatis also have an anupallavi incorporated in them. Many
swarajatis like the sublimely devotional ratna-trayam of Shyama Shastri are concert
worthy.
