1. O Purifier of the fallen! I believed You to be the Lord who saves those who do not have any refuge; O Lord Sri Rama! I prayed to You with utmost haste; O Lord Sita Rama! I always sought You alone whole heartedly. 2. O Lord of the celestials! I am in tears because You do not seem to have compassion on me, who swiftly served You considering You to be the Supremely Compassionate Lord and that You would nourish me; O Lord Sita Rama! having seen me, why Your heart wouldn't melt? 3. O Wonderful Pure Bliss who pervades everything (in the Universe)! O Lord Sri Rama! Won’t You forgive me? O Lord well-praised by this Thyagaraja! Won’t much merit accrue to You? O Lord Sita Rama! Am I not Your’s?
