In this keertana, Tyagaraja asks Rama whether He forgot that he was at His service. He also asks Rama whether He would only take the services of His brothers, Anjaneya and Sita but not from others.

Is it because Anjaneya, the son of the wind god, is at your doorstep for sure?
Is it because your younger brothers are with you? Is it because Janaki is there to attend to you personally? Is it because you don't want outsiders to serve you? Oh Lord of Tyagaraja. || |
