Meaning: Oh mind! Listen to the counsel of Tyagaraja, the great devotee of shri Raghunatha. For those fortunate souls who constantly and directly see the beautiful form of Rama , crores of holy rivers are present at Dhanushkoti (the tip of Rama's bow) itself, rivers like Ganga with its sources at the Lord's feet and the Kaveri deriving its glory from shri Ranganatha; why should one wander from place to place (on tirtha yatra)?
