Oh Sita Rama Swamy, what sin did I commit? Did I neglect adoring your lotus feet in a proper manner?

caraNam 1

Did I ask you to give me diamond rings for my ten fingers? Did I ask you for a golden shawl, turban or rich dresses?
Did I ask for pearl studded earrings to earn the learned Brahmins? praise? Did I ask for tinkling anklets or necklaces for ladies?

caraNam 2

Did I ask for a diamond studded gold crown? Did I ask for your beautiful flower garlands?
Did I ask for you bracelets assuming intimacy with you? Oh lotus eyed Rama, I only invited you in order to serve you in a grand manner.

caraNam 3

Did I ask you for your tinkling anklets? Did I ask you for elephants and horses?
Did I ask you to honor me with a golden shawl? Did I ask you money for my maintenance?

caraNam 4

Oh Lord of Bhadradri, did I ask you to empower me to rule Bhadradri? Oh son of Dasharatha, did I ask for you renowned bracelet, the symbol of charity? Did I ask for your gold string, worn around your waist?
Did I request you for abundant heaps of grains and lands?
