Meaning: O son of Dasharatha. Why should you hide your abundant grace from me? Why this disregard towards me in the presence of many? In the privacy of your company, Sita Devi had pleaded with you on my behalf. When you showered your grace on Bharatha, who had prostrated before you, did he not submit to you that Tyagaraja was a devotee deserving your grace? When you were delivering heaping encomiums on Lakshmana for his devoted and steadfast service to you, had he not put in a word to you on my behalf? Shoudl you still be stubborn?
