O Emerald (“marakata maNi”) hued (“varNa”) Lord rAma! Please do not forget (“maravaka”) me (“nannu”), O My (“nA”) Father (“anna”) (“nAyanna”)!

O Supreme (“parama”) Lord (“purusha”)! Please quickly (“binna”) protect (“brOvumu”) me, O My God (“dEvara”)!
O Emerald hued Lord rAma! O My Father! Please do not forget me - who has sought (“anukonna”) refuge (“SaraNu”) (“SaraNanukonna”) in You.

O Lord who has garuDa – beautiful winged (“su-parNa”) – a great (“vara”) devotee (“bhakta”) – as Your vehicle (“vAhana”)! O Lord replete (“pUrNa”) with feeling (“rasa”) of compassion (“karuNA”)!
O My Father (“anna”)! Deign to give (“I”) this tyAgarAja (“tyAgarAjuku”) (“tyAgarAjukIyanna”) the same kind of feeling (“rasamu”) of love (“prEma”) which sItA - daughter (“tanayku”) of Earth (“dharaNi”) - has (“unna”) (“tanayakunna”) towards You;
O Emerald hued Lord rAma! Please do not forget me, O My Father!
