Saguna nirgunamula nijamudhapparala,
Shanmadhamula marma mashta sidhula,
Vakalu soopa sandhasilla kandini
Varaanan Thyagaraja vinutha

English translation

Pallavi

Oh Rama , why have I not seen,
The connoisseurs of your songs of devotion

Anupallavi

Have you not been saluted by Lord Shiva,
Lord Brahma, Indra and others

Charanam

They are trying to find the superiority,
Of worshipping you with a form or as formless,
They are trying to find out about the six types of religious approaches*.
And they are trying to get the eight different occult powers,
And would they able to be able to enjoy your sweetness,
Which can give them all they want to know, says Thyagaraja

* Worship of Vishnu, Shiva, Shakthi, Ganesa, Subrahmanya and Sun God.
