Meaning:
May your grace descend on me! May your compassion descend on me. Rama, son of Dasharatha. Raghuvira. Is it possible for me to describe my delight? THe mere thought of you sends a thrill through me. Mere Darshana of you fills my eyes with tears of joy. When I am devoted to you, the world shrinks to insignificance. When I clasp your feet, I forget myself, transported with joy. Your proximity dispels sorrows. Being forced to associate with me who are not aware of your worth is my destiny. I wonder if you incarnated as Rama just for me, to redeem me or devotees like me! You are the source and supreme God of the Trinity and also the bosom friend of Tyagaraja.
