Meaning:
O Rama! I am not an orphan (as you are taking care of me)
In a way you are that (since there is none to take care of you and none above you to command you), that is what I have heard from wise men well versed in vedas
Silly folks, in their ignorance, call me a destitute because I do not have any human support. O Purana Purusha! One worshipped by Shiva! One who reclines on Adishesha! (where is the need for any support when you have taken me into your fold!)
