Oh Ramachandra! Come! Come in state, duly
heralded |

You are yourself the father of Manmatha. Come with
your shining golden crown, precious ear-ornaments, with
the jingling of your anklets, to the delight of sages like
Sanaka.

Come with your pearl-necklaces dangling, with Brahma
. and Indra praising your glory, gently ascending the steps
set with precious stones, listening to the music of Vina

Come with the singing parrot on the hand of your sister,
who has come to see you, with the celestial beings strewing
flowers at you, enabling Ty&gar&j to enjoy the grand and
gracious sight.

Oh Lord of the Universe!
Rama! To get refreshed pray, lay yourself down in the lotus of Tyágarája's
heart after cleansing it of impurities of sin

Moved by compassion at the distress of Brahma, you took your birth
in the Solar race, went to the forest with Siti, killed
Maricha in the form of deer, conquered the wicked
Rakshasa, Ravana, gave Lanka to Vibhishana of firm faith
and afforded protection to the gods.

Meaning: from "Compositions of Tyagaraja" by TK Govinda Rao

https://www.karnatik.com/c1278.shtml

How grand and imposing the wedding of SIta is! Praised by AnjanEya, this Hero of countless exploits, having the sun and the moon as His eyes, and possessing a frame of ravishing beauty is an unfailing Protector of His devotees and Bestower of prosperity and Beatitude, which is a part of His LIlas. He causes terror in the minds of RAkshasas. His calmness and composure reveal Him as one who has no more desires to be fulfilled. Sporting a radiant blue hue, He is the source of Bliss for the world. Resider of AyOdhya, He is the Prop of the entire world. A peerless warrior in battles, He is beyond the ken of men of arrogance and haughtiness. He is tall and courageous, reminding one of the great Mount MEru. He is the Hero figuring in the Scriptures. With an unmatched form, He is the mainstay of His devotees, whose sins He wipes out graciously. Celebrated by Lord Siva in song and music, He is the raft enabling deserving mortals to cross the ocean of SamsAra. That is the aim of His incarnation in the solar race, He whom TyAgarAja worships.

.
We now listen to the soothing overture in Kédāragaula rāgam, the USK “Lāli lālayya lāli”. A lullaby in Kédāragaula is indeed rare.
Tyāgayya says:

Oh! one who resides in the heart of good men, oh! one with excellent qualities, oh! one with the Vanamāla – may you rest well!

Oh! one of the Sun clan, one with the hue of the dark clouds, one wearing gold ornaments, one who is resplendent as a ten million suns, one with lotus-like eyes, one who bestowed boons to Akrūra, one with a lotus in the navel, oh one worshipped by Sanaka, one who is easily accessible to all – may you rest well.
.
Oh! one who wields bows and arrows, oh slayer of Khara, one with red lotus-like feet, oh! destroyer of the arrogance of the evil, one who is praised by Shiva, one whose face resembles the full moon, one whose eyes are filled with compassion, one who is beyond desires, one who is worshipped by sages – may you rest well.
.
Oh! bestower of boons to Bhūdévi, please accept my worship. You are the prosperity in the households of those who believe in you, is too burdensome for you to glance at me? This separation from you is unbearable, govern me oh wealth of my clan! – may you rest well.
.
A hall surpassing the splendour of ten million suns has been tastefully decorated. In the centre of the hall, I have spread a bed of pure gold and decorated it with jasmine. Please allow me to establish you there. Oh! peerless one, oh! one worshipped by the sages, I shall serve you by repeatedly offering you betel leaves - may you rest well there
.
Oh! unrivalled hero, as the pearl necklaces radiate on your chest, as the Parijāta flowers on the mount Méru rain on you, as the celestials including Shiva and Brahma behold you, having embellished you with all titles, I am rocking your swing – may you rest well..

You must have been tired after having been in the service of great devotees, Oh! one bereft of attachment, please do not forget me. You are the fortune of the great daughter of Janaka, please protect this Tyāgarāja by showering your grace – may you rest well.

Wonderful lyrical portrait.
Mother Kousalya talks to child Raama
utsava sampradaya kruti
Absolutely endearing.
.

Oh Lord of Lords, of unsurpassed beauty even among
Devas, come to the swing!
My darling, my race treasure,
you are the fruit of my worship in the past and have come
down to the earth as the wealth of the Solar race

Why is your face less cheerful today?
Tell me, are you hungry ?
What is troubling you ?

Is it because,
Your playmates invited you for play. When you had
come, they asked you to go away. They found fault with
you and asked you not to come.

They played the hide and seek game. They complained
that you had eyes too large for being covered by the hand.

Why should my beloved's eyes, which are as soft as lily
petals, be excited and reddened ?
Lest they should close your charming eyes,
my friends warned you not to go.

Why all this trouble and perspiration ?
Tell me the whole story.

.Your hiding may be due to concern (about devotees),
while their hiding may be due to their difficulty in facing
your splendour..

How is it that your pearl-necklaces has
got entangled and how is it that your anklets have pressed
on your legs, leaving a mark?
.
When I catch you with joy they surround me, crowding
like birds perching on a tree (to release you)

. How did they call you ?
And what did they take you for ?
.
They have asked you to come as " Sakshi” and enqui-
red whether you are really God adored by Tyágarája.
