mari mari ninnE-kAmbhOji-Adi -

In this Kruti Tyagaraja complains that Rama was ignoring him. He sarcastically asks him the reasons for protecting Gajendra, Sugriva and others.

P mari mari ninnE moraliDa nee
manasuna daya rAdu ||
Oh Rama,I've been begging for your mercy repeatedly but in vain.
AP kari mora vini saraguna chana neeku
kAraNa mEmi sarvAntaryAmi ||
Oh omnipresent Rama,what is the reason for running in such a hurry to rescue the elephant king ?
C 1 karuNa tO dhruvuni keduTa nilchina katha vinnAnayyA
sura ripu tanayunikai nara mrugamou soochana lEmayyA
marachi yunna vana charunibrOchina mahima delupa vayyA
dharanu velayu tyAgarAja sannuta
taramu gAdika nE vinanayyA ||
You stood in front of Dhruva and bestowed highest place for him in the firmament.Why did you descend on earth as Narasimha the man-lion to protect Prahlada the son of Hiranyakasipu the enemy of Devatas?What is the greatness of Sugriva,who even forgot your help in restoring his kingdom?I'll not listen to reasons for your inordinate delay in my case.
Oh Rama,Tyagaraja worships you.
