Meaning: O Expert Protector of the worlds! Protect me. O Chief of Ayodhya! One full of rich attributes! One whose glory is beyond understanding. One whose status is worshipped by Brahma, Sanandana and others! By the glory of feet, one who redeemed Ahalya from the curse of the sage Gautama. One who undertook ten incarnations like fish etc! O beauty wielding the bow! O King that rules the world! Your wonderful feet are my refuge! O spouse of Lakshmi! O bestower of boons! O Emperor protecting TyAgarAja!
