Meaning:
Personification of unalloyed bliss! Darling of Dasharatha!
Sleep soundly. One who delights in the company of sItA, the daughter of
Mother Earth! Gem of the Raghu race! With curly fore-locks and the eyes
matching the brilliance of the sun and the mellow lustre of the moon, how
daintily you are lying on the soft couch formed by the ciols of AdishESA! O
one who transcends the pairs of opposite attributes! O one with whom
viruous attributes sit with natural grace! Your soft and gentle speech
fascinates as much as your ravishing beauty. You are surrounded by devotees
and worshipped by tyAgarAjA. Lord, sleep, lulled by the lullaby of this
humble devotee.
