P	nATimAta marachitivO Oh rAma chinna ||	Oh Rama,have you forgotten your words spoken long time back.
AP	mATi mATiki nApai mannana jEyuchu ETiki yOchana ee bhAgyamu needanu ||	Recognising my continuous services,you assured me that the fortune of waving 'chamara' fan was mine instead of Bharata.
C 1	taruNulu bAgu naTanamula joochu vELa charaNamulanu gani nE karaguchu sEvimpa bharatuni karachAmaramunu nilpuchu karuNanu tyAgarAjavaraduDani palkina ||	When you were watching dance by young women,I was immersed in meditating upon your sacred feet.You asked Bharata to stop waving 'chamara'fan and told that I am a blessed one.

In this Kruti Tyagaraja criticises the misbehavior of fake devotees who utilize their god-given intelligence for earning money by illicit means.

P	nijamuga nee mahima delpa lEru ||	They are not really aware of your great powers.
AP	bhajana sEyamani balikErE gAni aja gaja simhva srugAlantaramanE ||	They only compel us to participate in 'Bhajana'. In fact there is vast difference between goats, elephants,lions and jackals.
C 1	budhyanu tallini vishya viTulakE proddu nosagi paikamu lArginchE sidhdhulu sujanula sabhaku rAnE rAni peddalu Sree tyAgarAja vinuta rAma ||	They misuse their intelligence which is precious as mother, for illegtimate activities to earn money. Those elders avoid the genuine devotional gatherings of seers and true devotees.Oh Rama,Tyagaraja worships you.

In this Kruti Tyagaraja says that Sri Rama is the treasure earned and bequeathed to him by his ancestors.He adds that Rama is the embodiment of Satchidananda(existence,conciousness,bliss) dwelling in the hearts of Yogis.

P	neevE gAni nannevaru gAturu rA neeraja daLa nayana ||	Oh Rama with beautiful eyes like lotus petals,who else will protect me?
AP	kAvalasina kOrikalichchi nannu karuNinchi brOchE talli tanDrivi ||	You are my father and mother protecting me kindly by fulfilling my wishes and wants.
C 1	munu mA vamSamuna galugu peddalu tapa mulanu jEsi yArjinchina dhanamu virula vElpulanu poojinchina phalamu ||	You are the treasure earned by the prayers and penances of our ancestors and bequeathed to me.You are the precious reward for my worship of deities with sacred flowers in my previous births.
C 2	SaraNAgata jana pApa jwalanamunu Samana jEyu jalapurita ghanamu sura muni jana yOgi gaNamula hrudayamu sugruhamou satchidAnanda ghanamu ||	You are the water-bearing cloud that cools down the fire-like sins of those who surrendered to you.You dwell in the hearts of Devatas and sages.You are the embodiment of Satchidananda (Existence,Conciousness,Bliss).
C 3	sAgara Sayana nadulalO mETaina swarNadee snAnAniki galgu phalamu tyAgarAja varamani brahmAdulaku sa tyamu jEsi palkina tArakamu ||	Oh lord that reclines on ocean,worshipping you confers 'punyam' equal to punyam obtained by holy bath in Ganga river.Brahma and other gods proclaimed that you are the supreme emancipator. You are Tyagaraja's benefactor.
