Meaning: Have you lost all sense of shame and honor? Or else have you no affection or love for your own people? Are you not the Parent of Lava and Kusha who revel profoundly in music and enjoy the melody? We have nowhere come across anyone who has lost all sense of consideration for others like you. When Sugreeva the son of the Sun flattered you and praised your valor, with determination you caused him to ascend the throne of Kishkinda. Yet when Tyaagaraaja worships you constantly with dedication, you seem to have no love lost for him! Why this inexplicable bias?
