Meaning:
O unworthy mind! How long can I put up with you, if you do
not listen to my counsel? Follow my advice.
Spend your time in singing the glory of shri Rama ,the jewel of the
human race, with humility and devotion.
In this Kaliyuga, instead of wasting time associating with men of sloth
and lethargy and those who are engaged in
worldly activities all the time, you should adopt the pleasant way of
devotion and redeem yourself. You do not
appear disposed to heed to the counsel of Tyagaraja.
