Version: Neyveli Santhanagopalan

Pallavi:

Darithaapu Leka Vedithe Dayaraademo? Sri Raama

Anupallavi:

Kari Dhanamulu Galgite Karunichi Brotuvemo!

Charanams:

Alanaadu Nirjara Vairi Baaluni Juchi Brochitivi Gaani

Valachi Padamula Nammite Varami Dochunaa ? Tyaagaraaju

Meaning: (From TK Govinda Rao’s Book)

Sri Rama! Perhaps you will not (“raademo”) care (“daya”) for one, poor and helpless(“daridaapa leka vedithe”) like me. Probably one must parade a paraphernalia of elephants (“kari”) and pompous show (“galgite”) of wealth (“dhanamu”) to attract your grace (“karuninchi Brotuvemo”).

Once (“alanadu”), did you not, protect “juchi brochitivi”) Prahlada (“baaluni”) from the terrible wrath of his father – Hiranya Kashipu who was the arch enemy (“vairi”) of the celestials (“nirjara”)? But (“gaani”) you hesitate to oblige (“varami dochuna”) this Tyagaraja who has also clung (“valachi”) to your feet (“padamula”) with firm devotion (“nammite”).
