Hi everyone,

Would like to know the meaning of the song "Mamava raghu rama", ragam- saranga, talam- rupakam by Thyagaraja Swami.

Maamava raghu raama, maragathamani shaama

Paamarajana bhima, palitha {sutha or sura (not sure)} raama

Raajadhipa thyaagaraaja vinutha baaga.

Thank you.

Nandy.

Raghurama! Deign to protect me. You resemble a statue of emerald and are fascinating.
You create a feeling of awe and fear in common mortals. Protector of Indra! I see no prospect of my sins being destroyed. You do not have the heart to eliminate them on my behalf.
At the time of coming down from the ocean of milk, all your intense compassion seems to have been dissolved in it. O else you must have lost your brahmAstra, namely your mission of protecting your devotees in the battles you waged.
Maybe that, when you left the forest, you left behind your solemn pledge that whoever surrendered to you, would have no cause to grieve. As you deliberately chose to be born as a man with divine beauty, has your divinity desreted you? Supreme among kings! You are worshipped by Tyagaraja himself. Why then this dissembling?

from T.K.Govinda Rao's book
