The meditation on the name of Rama  is pleasant,

To us who are born as human beings

Vara  raja   yoga nishdulou,

Vari kanandha   mandhetattu

Anupallavi

Those yogis   who without fail practice  Raja Yoga,

Would get joy  which has not been seen even by an ocean

Charanam

Rama nama sravanamu  valla,

Nama roopame   hrudhaymu  nindi,

Prema putta   jeyasu  lethaa- nish

Kama   Thyagaraja   seyu nama.

Charanam

By hearing the name of Rama  ,

That  form of  name of Rama would  fill up the mind  ,

And did  it not  make divine love be born there,

And the destached  meditation of Rama by Thyagaraja   is indeed pleasant.
