Meaning

Pallavi : O Lord SrI rAma! Please do not do injustice to me; O Lord SrI rAma! please do not look at me as an alien.

Anupallavi : O King! You had earlier protected those who had numerous faults; therefore, please do not do injustice to me; please do not look at me as an alien.

Charanam : Didn’t jaDa bharata relieve the fatigue of the frightened fawn by taking it into his fold? Didn’t a tortoise save the mountain mandara which submerged into the sea? Didn’t, in this Earth, yudhiShThira (son of yama) save duryOdhana who was treacherous to pANDavas? O Lord praised by this tyAgarAja! please do not do injustice to me during my middle ages (by saying) that ‘I shall not relieve the troubles’ created by my elder brother.

Notes

Pallavi : This is the version given in all the books other than that of TKG, wherein, the words nannu and the word rAma at the end of pallavi are not found.

Anupallavi : enno tappulu gala – sugriva is one such person who received Lord’s grace in spite of his faults.

Charanam : jaDa bharata – The story of bharata and jaDa bharata appears in SrImad bhAgavataM, Book 5, Chapters 7 to 14; the story of fawn reared by bharata appears in ibid, Chapter 8. For a brief of the story, please visit web site – http://www.searchforlight.org/Anubhuti/AnubhutiVol4No1/Vivekananda_StoryJadaBharata.htm

Charanam : kUrmamu – Refers to kUrmAvatAra of Lord viShNu.

Charanam : pANDava drOhi – In the book of TKG, this has been taken to mean aSvattAma son of drONAcArya. In other books, this has been taken to mean duryOdhana. The story of aSvattAma slaying all the sons of pANDavAs and ultimately letting off brahmAstra to destroy the pANDava race, is contained in mahAbhArata – Book 10, sauptika parva – Chapters 3 to 17. For the complete story, please visit website – http://www.sacred-texts.com/hin/m10/index.htm The story in brief is contained in the web sites - http://www.ibiblio.org/sripedia/oppiliappan/archives/mar05/msg00072.html http://www.ibiblio.org/sripedia/oppiliappan/archives/mar05/msg00087.html

According to mahAbharata, the life of aSvattAma was saved by draupadi before whom he (aSvattAma) was brought to mete out justice. He was earlier cursed by SrI kRShNa in the following words –

“As regards thyself, all wise men know thee for a coward and a sinful wretch! Always engaged in sinful acts, thou art the slayer of children. For this reason, thou must have to bear the fruit of these thy sins. For 3,000 years thou shalt wander over this earth, without a companion and without being able to talk with anyone. Alone and without anybody by thy side, thou shalt wander through diverse countries, O wretch, thou shalt have no place in the midst of men. The stench of pus and blood shall emanate from thee, and inaccessible forests and dreary moors shall be thy abode! Thou shalt wander over the Earth, O thou of sinful soul, with the weight of all diseases on thee.”Source - http://www.sacred-texts.com/hin/m10/m10016.htm

C – pANDava drOhi – In my humble opinion, the story relates to yudhiShThira coming to the rescue of duryOdhana, karNa and their army when the latter were vanquished by gandharvas in a battle at dvaitavana where pANDavas were staying during their exile. The story appears in mahAbhArata – Book 3 – vana parva - ghOSha yAtra parva – Chapters 234 to 244. For the complete story, visit website – http://www.sacred-texts.com/hin/m03/m03234.htm The story, in brief, is available in web site - http://www.urday.com/journey.htm The complete vana-parva in the form a story is available at web site – http://www.philosophy.nsc.ru/disc/library/ASIATICA/INDICA/itihasa/mahabharata/eng/gbmb03xt.html.
