Meaning:
O One of Lotus-like face! Refuge of the righteous! I am yearning for you. Forgive my transgressions and talk to me gently and
soothingly. O Matchless Hero! Prop of the world! Adorable one who set and example of chastity for men also! Destroyer of sins! O Lotus0eyed! O Blue hued! Are you not the Sun which causes the lotus of Tyagaraja's heart to blossom!
