Lyrics
Pallavi
rāma nannu brōvarā vēmakō lōkābhi
Anupallavi
cimalō brahmalō śiva kēśavādulalō prēma mīra melugu cuṇḍe birudu vāhiñcina sītā
Charanam
meppulakai kannatāvu-nappu baḍaga virravīgi tappu panulu lēka unḍē tyāgarāja vinuta sītā
Meaning
The singer asks Rama to come to his protection. The anupallavi describes the divine presence extending from the smallest creature to Brahma, Shiva and Vishnu. That breadth sharpens the personal question: one who is present everywhere should not be unreachable to this devotee. The final verse brings the appeal back to conduct, contrasting a life directed towards Rama with the pursuit of praise and the misdeeds that can accompany it.
