Meaning:
O Ramachandra! Should you not choose to be our family deity and take us under your care ? When you hold the power in your hands to bless us by making us devoted at your feet and protect us, should you not... Worshipped by AdisEsha! Garuda Vaahana! I have pinned my hopes on you as I have none else to turn to. Redeemer of Gajendra! Destroyer of the evils of Devas ! In your might and valor you resemble the meru mountain and protecting us will need very little effort from you.
