Meaning:
O Mind, mere knowledge of music without devotion can never lead to the right path. Lord Nataraaja, Anjaneeya, sages like Brungi, Agastya, Maatanga and Naarada worship you through music, saturated with devotion. Is there a supreme mode of worship? TyAgarAja knows how to discriminate right and wrong. He is also aware that this world is unreal and transient. He has found the way to conquer the six inward enemies like lust, attachment, anger etc. Yet he is fully convinced that there is no other way to salvation than knowledge of music integrated with unalloyed devotion.
