__Pallavi__ : O Lord SrI rAma! Sometimes you would speak in that manner; sometimes you would speak in this manner; what shall I do for that?

You are skilled in punishing humans and also skilled in making them long-lived; You protect individuals knowing their state of mind; O Lord SrI rAma praised by this tyAgarAja - the Dispenser of what is one’s due to the true devotees!

**Notes**

__General__ :  – the word endings __aTTa__, __iTTa__, __tOcinaTTu__  have been adopted from the book of CR and TSV/AKG as these are more natural to the telugu language. In the book of TKG, these are given as __aTla__, __iTla__ and __tOcinaTla__ – which are colloquial usage. 

__Anupallavi__ : __toTlanUtuvu – gilluduvu__  – This is an adage to show one is busy – first make the child sleep by rocking the cradle; when the child starts sleeping, pinch it so that the child would cry and then rock the cradle - the cycle would go on.  In tamizh this is called __kuzhandaiyaik kiLLi toTTilaiyATTudal__.
