Muddhu momu yelagu  chelengano ,

Munuletla kani mohinchero

Pallavi

How did the lovely dear face of Rama shine?

How did the sages  started  loving it?

Anupallavi

Kaddhanusu jirakalamu  hrudayamu,

Karagi karagi   nilsuvari kedhuta   Ramuni

Anupallavi

How did Rama’s face   standing before those sages,

Who with a melting and melting mind believed  that  there is God

Charanam

Manasu   niramalamagu  bhoosura kruthamo,

Manchi pooja phalamo, tholuthadi thapamo,

Ghana nibha dehuni janana swabhavamo  ,

Dhanapathi sakutaina THyagarajarchithuni

Charanam

Is it due to the effect of blessing of  pure minded Brahmins?

Is is due to the effect of my worship? Is is due to penance done earlier?

Is it due to the Birth traits of that Lord with colour of the cloud?

Is it due  to the worship of Thyagaraja(Lord Shiva)  who is   friend of Khubera?
