Meaning: Sri Rama! Perhaps you will not care for one, poor and helpless like me. Probably one must parade a paraphernalia of elephants and pompous show of wealth to attract your grace. Once, did you not protect Prahlada from the terrible wrath of his father – Hiranya Kashipu who was the arch enemy of the celestials ? But you hesitate to oblige this Tyagaraja who has also clung to your feet with firm devotion.
