Meaning:
Dear Rama! Do not leave me or let me down. I cannot stand separation from
you even for a second. Today I feel like one burned by the fierce rays of
the sun who has found the shade of the Kalpaka tree for rest. Spouse of
Lakshmi! I feel like I have found a pure pearl, serene after a deep
dive into the sea, controlling my breath to its furthest. I found you
today as if I found a treasure while digging in the earth. I experience
the relief of a hail storm on a hot day. This body of Tyaagaraaja is in
your possession. Accept it, O Lord, with your usual grace.
