Is this the mantra which is supposed to be chanted for keeping hunger and thirst away?

And tyAgarAja includes this scene in his bAlakANDa: ShrI kAntanI yeDa balAtibala celagaga lEdA vAdA... rAma used a blade of grass to quell an evil asura disguised as a crow(kAkAsura?).

The following ref gives the philosophic insight:
http://www.shriramsharma.com/part_6%20and%207.htm

Due to Bhagirathaâ€™s penance, Ganges manifested on earth. Brahmaji too had to make gigantic efforts for the manifestation of Gayatri. In order to attain Gayatriâ€™s grace in this human life, one needs to execute intense austerities. Gayatriâ€™s seer is Rishi Vishwamitra. Via penance he attained this glorious state. Vishwamitra had given the responsibility of manifesting Gayatri in the hands of Lord Rama and Lakshmana. Vishwamitra taught them certain Spiritual Sciences and thus both brothers became powerful. This science called Bala and Atibala are other names of Gayatri and Savita.

Here is an interesting Story on this mantra of deriving energy directly from the Sun
