Ragam kaikavasi

Thalam  Deashi

Pallavi

Vachamagocharame manasa,

Varnimpa darame  Rama mahima.

Pallavi

Oh mind, the greatness of Rama.

Is beyond descrition of words,

And is it possible to describe it?

Anupallavi

Rechari maareechuni badaga betti,

Rendovaani  siki, kosagenay.

Anupallavi

Did he not push Mareecha  the night traveler,

In to the sea and cut off the head  of the second one?

Charanam

Manavathee madeingi cha-,

Maramoudakasthramu neyagani,

Maanambukai medadacsaga,

Madhavundu kani karagi vegame ,

Dheenarthibanjujanudai prana,

Dhanam bosaga  munnu chanina,

Banambu natu chedaraseyaledhaa,

Ganalola  Thyagarajanuthu Mahima

Charanam

Shooting an arrow at the female deer ,

Thinking it would be useful to cowry,

That deer which thought it respect was ,

Greater than  its ife shoed its neck ,

Instead of its tail  and did not  Rama ,

Understanding its mind and cut off ,

Speedily the arrow of the  hunter?

The greatness of the lord,

Worshipped  by  Thyagaraja,

Who  has great interest in music
