In this Kruti, Tyagaraja prays Rama to bestow him knowledge, saying that Rama is the emobodiment of all creation in all lokas.

Soul (Jeevatma), Supreme Soul (Paramatma), the fourteen lokas, all the human beings, Narada and other sages are your manifestations.
You are holistic, you are unblemished and you are the bestower of perpetual happiness.
Everything is yourself. You are worshipped by Tyagaraja.
