About the virtues of a good lady and like that Oh Sita Rama

Charanam

Dhana soughyamu  thaan yerugaka  orulaku

Thagu   bodhane sukhama?

Ganamagu  puli go roopa  maithe  ,

Thyagaraja nutha  sisuvu  palu  kalgunaa?

Charanam

When one does not know  how to have a pleasant life,

Is it proper for him  to teach about it?

If The horrifying tiger acts like a cow ,

Would the prayers of Thyagaraja help the  baby  to get milk?

1.Ramaa  is the name of  those with  shifting eyes,

But this will lead to passion    and anger,

But those who debate with this idea  are separate ,

But Rama   is the name of  Para Brahmam  ,

If we meditate understanding this , all the sorrows would go away.

2.Arkam anasu  jilledu  tharu peru,

Markada buddhu  letlu theeru,

Arkudani   Bhaskaruniki   peru ,

Kutharkka  manedu  Anthakaramu  theeru.

2. One weed plant is called Arkam,

And  how would monkey brained ones  think about it,

Arka is the name   of the Sun God,

And if this is  not  thought without logic,

 The   darkness in our life would fade away.

3,Ajamanusu Meshamunaku peru,

Nija  korika lelaagederu ,

Ajudani  Vageeswaruniki   peru,

Vijayamu   kalku  Thyagaraja buthani.

3.Aja is the name  of the goat,

If we think like this how can we fulfill our desires,

The consort  of Saraswathi  is called  Aja,

And due to him many victories can be  got ,

And so understand and pray Rama whom Thyagaraja prays.
