Meaning:

O RAma, RAma! Can there be any Bliss greater than merging heart and soul in the assembly of devotees eternally singing and extolling the glory of Hari? Transcending all thoughts of body and the world, dancing with abandon to the rhythm of their music and entreating the Lord to give Darshana in all His majesty, if one dissolves himself in devotion, is not that that the crescendo of heavenly Bliss? As one chants and chants the name of Hari, all consciousness of the body and the material world vanish in toto, leaving behind only the Advaitic awareness "I am He." The sprawling universe loses its diversity and reveals your all-embracing form, the VishvarUpa as I chant your name, Lord! One with a history of being worshipped by TyAgarAja!
