Meaning
Pallavi : It is time that You pardoned my severe offences; please show mercy on me.
Anupallavi : It is time that You pardoned my severe offences who, being fickle minded, having come to grief unawares, now appeals to You; please show mercy on me.
Charanam : O Lord praised by this tyAgarAja! While You are protecting nicely all the people according to the fruits of their actions, don’t You know to protect me alone who has composed hundred(s) of kIrtana in Your praise?
