Lakshmanji- can u pl provide the lyrics & meaning of this Tyagaraja's song in Kambodhi

[Lakshman]

I thought the song was already discussed earlier but I could not find it. Here are the lyrics:

ElarA shrI krSNA nAtO cAlamu krSNA nIku. rAgA: kAmbhOji. rUpaka tALA.

P: ElarA shrI krSNA nAtO calamu krsnA nIku
A: ElarA I bAdha tALa jAlarA daya jUDa nIku
C1: shrI ramA lOla nanu brOva bhAramA ninu nammina nApai
nEramA iTu mammencitE dUramA nIku gambhIramA
2: rAga rahita rAga rasika yAga yOga bhOga phalada
nAga shayana nAga ripunuta tyAgarAja karArcita

[satyabalu]

* One should listen to DKJ rendering this.
* I think the words are slightly different in his rendition.
* Is it one of those which is wrongly attributed to Thiagaraja?
* I recollect SKA S.Rajam mentioning on such kritis "nannyirukku sollitharen. "

[Lakshman]

The lyrics and meaning is available from these two links.
