O raghuvIrA. rAgA: kalyANi. Adi tALA.
P: O raghuvIrA ani nE pilacina O hOyana rAdA
A: sAreku mari vEsAri yanyamu jEradu nAmadi ErA dhIrA
C1: nITajikki kari mATiki vEsAri nATakadhAri nI pATalu pADaga
mETi makaritala mITi gAcina daya Etiki nApai nETiki rAdO
2: munnu sabhanu nA pannata vEDucu ninnu kriShNAyani ennaga draupadi
kennO valuvalicci mannana brOcina vennuDa nA moraviNTi vO lEdA
3: baNTunaitinani uNTE parAkuna nuNTivi telisi mukkaNTi vinuta nA
jaNTa bAyaka venuveNTa rammani vEDu koNTi bhadragiri rAmadAsa pOSaka
Meaning::
When I call ‘Oh,raGhuvIrA, can you not answer”OhO”?
• Do not get vexed and cause injustice to me,Oh,valiant one.
• When the elephant got struck in the water,he got weary and sang your glory,Oh,the illusionist.
• Did you not enter the crocodile infested water and save him,?Why that grace is not showered on me?
• Earlier,when draupadi called you kriShNA in anguish, did you not provide her with abundant clothes?Can you hear my pleadings or not?
• I wanted to serve but,you were forgetful. Served by the three eyed Shiva,
• Do not desert me.I am requesting you to hasten,Bhadragiri rAmadasa is nourished by you.
