In this keertana Rama is admired for his steadfastness, valor and perfect monogamy. Tyagaraja adds that Rama is the God that moved as man on this earth.

P	oka mAta oka bANamu oka patnee vratuDE manasA ||	Rama vowed to adhere to one word, one arrow, one wife, Oh my heart.
AP	oka chittamu kalavADE oka nADunu maruvaka vE ||	He is the one with unperturbed conscience, Oh my heart never forget.
C	chira jeevatvamu nijjara vara sowkhya mosagunE dhara baragE dEvuDE tyAgarAja nutundE ||	He bestows longevity, grants the celestial happiness. He is the God that moved on this earth. He is worshipped by Tyagaraja.

In this kruti Tyagaraja complains that his Lord Rama is neglecting him and wants to know how the other devotees maintained their relationship with Him to get His grace.

P	Ora choopu choo chEdi nyAyamA O raghO ttamA nee vanTi vAniki||	Oh Leader of Raghu dynasty, is it fair for a person of your stature to look at me light heartedly?
AP	neerajAksha munu nee dAsulaku nee kETi vAvulu telpavE ||	Oh lotus eyed Rama, please let me know how your devoted servants maintained their relationship with you hither to.
C	mAna minchukaina neeku tOcha lEka pOyina vaina mEmi puNya roopamA deena raksha kASrita mAnava san tAna gAna lOla tyAga rAja nuta ||	Oh embodiment of holiness, you are extremely honorable, I am at loss to know why it did not strike to you to see me with concern. Oh savior of devotees in distress, Oh Lord Tyagaraja, you immerse yourself in divine music.
