Meaning: (From T.K. Govinda Rao’s Book and www.karnatik.com):
O Seetha Raama! Why (“eelaraa?”) this undue delay (“kaalaharana”) to protect me?

O Treasure (“jaala”) of virtues (“suguna”) ! Abode (“vaala”) of mercy(“karunaala”)!

Day in and day out (“dina dinamunu”), roaming about feverishly (“tirigi tirigi”) and finding no way out (“dikku leka”), I have come seeking shelter (“sharanu jocchi”) at your feet surrendering my body(“tanuvu”) and my possessions (“dhanamu”) as they really belong to you (“needeyanti”) only. My favorite God (“tyaagaraaja vinuta!”) ! Is it difficult for you to grant my prayer? To grant this Tyagarajaaja’s desires ? Why this delay?
