Anupallavi

Thinking about Lord Vishnu in his clear heart

Charanam

1. To see Lord Rama who holds the Kodanda
Holding a stick, wearing a water pot and praising.

2. Today the bold one from the shore of the sea,
Always chanting the name of Lord Hari.

3. To see him who is being praised by Thyagaraja,
Whose and reaches his thigh and who is praised by Indra.
