Meaning (Courtesy: Thyagaraja Vaibhavam)

Won’t Your (nI) mercy (daya) descend (rAdA) (literally come) on me?

O Auspicious (kalyANa) Lord rAma! Who is there (vAru evaru) (vArevaru) to object - say (anE) ‘no’ (kAdu) (kAdanE)?

Won’t Your mercy descend on me?

O Lord rAma! O Lord rAma! O Lord rAma! O Resident (sadana) in the heart (hRt) (hRt-sadana) of this tyAgarAja!

My (nA) mind (madi) is perplexed (tallaDille); is it fair (nyAyamA)? Won’t Your mercy descend on me quickly (vEgamE)?
