O Rama, who am I after all to know the nature of your resolve? Your devotees are getting vexed with worldly problems when their devotion to you is reducing. Whose greatness is this?

anupallavi

Whether you protect me or leave me away, I await unswervingly for your grace. I?ll not beg obeying others.

caraNam 1

How can I endure steadfastly your incomprehensible and mysterious ways?
How can I cross the turbulent ocean of worldly problems?

caraNam 2

Oh Supreme Soul, whom can I hold? You are worshipped by Siva. Your views are incomprehensible.
Oh lord of the lords, I am servant of your servants.
Protect me, I bow down to you.

caraNam 3

I have come to you with the confidence that you?ll enable me to reach the shore.
Why don?t you protect me? I never thought that you would keep me in agony.
I only believed that you are my lord.

caraNam 4

You protect those who seek your help. You enable us to cross the ocean of worldly problems.
You are the tormentor of enemies. Please show mercy. Don?t hesitate. I?ve implicit faith in you.
Oh Hari, that dwells in Bhadradri.
