Thyagaraja Swamy's Chetulara Sringaramu in Bhairavi. Sung by Ms.T.N.Manikkam. This Kriti is in vātsalya bhāva as if Kausalya is singing it.

Meaning:
O Sri Rama! Let me have the ecstatic joy and thrill of decorating you with my own hands, in such a way as to elicit the envy and admiration of Brahma, Indra and others.
That done, I will feast my eyes on your beauty to my heart's content with intense devotion.
Decorating your feet with golden anklets,
waist with silken garments inlaid with gold lace,
tresses with fragrant flowers from celestial gardens
and kissing your charming face,
let me have the ecstatic joy.
Adorning your waist with a golden girdle
with golden jingles
and your forehead with a lovely dot of
fragrant sandal paste and
with a gem-studded pendant dangling above it
from a ringlet of pearls,
I shall hug you to my bosom with exhilaration.
Having decorated your headdress with pearls,
I shall smear your body with sandal paste
rendered fragrant by admixture of a variety of scents
.
Goddess Saraswati will then arrive and
fan you softly and gently.
I shall then exclaim in exaltation,
"Well done, well done!"
in appreciation, having relegated everything else to be able to indulge in this service whole-heartedly.
.
Bhairavi
