Meaning:
O Raama! Constituting our great gortune with glorious Seeta! The day has
dawned. Do wake up and take us into your fold. Sages Naarada and others
are singing eternally your greatness and soliciting your grace. Butter and
milk are ready for you. To have them, please wake up quickly, Lord of the
serpent couch! Celestial damsels are singing your praises, ready to serve
you. Gem of the solar race! The eight Siddhis like aNima, mahima, etc and
gem-studded lamps have started unfolding themselves in their white
radiance, King of Kings! Face resembling the moon! King of AyOdhya! Abode
of virtues! One with feet worshipped by Tyaagaraaja! Royal warrior! Hosts
of celestials and kings are waiting for your Darshana and to worship
you. With your face rivaling the radiance of the moon, please wake up. The
world awaits your royal presence and protecting grace.
