Oh rAjeevAksha - Arabhi - miSra chApu

P Oh rAjeevAksha Orajoopulu choochE vErA nE neeku vErA || Oh lotu-eyed Rama, why are you looking at me with side-long glances? Am I a stranger to you?
A.P. nErani nApai nEramulenchitE
kArAdani balkEvAru lEni nannu ||
I am falsely accused of many offences. There is none to defend my innocence.
C 1 makkuvatO ninnu mrokkina janulaku
dikku neevai ati grakkuna brOtuvani
ekkuva sujanula yokka mATalu vini chakkani
SrirAma dakkiti gadarA ||
Oh Srirama, many people bow to you with love saying that you are their prop and that you rescue them quickly. I listened to their words and came into your fold only.
C 2 mitimEra lEni prakrutilOna dagili nE
mati heenuDai sannuti sEyanEraka
batimAli neevEgati yani nera nammiti gAni
ninu marachitinA santatamu ||
I am entangled in worldly matters and lost my balance of mind. Still I did not lose faith in you. Did I ever forget you?
C 3 mAvara suguNa umAvara sannuta dEvara
dayachEsi brOvagarAdA
pAvana bhakta janAvana mahAnubhAva tyAgarAja
bhAvita inka nannu ||
Oh Lord of Lakshmi, Maheswara the consort of Parvati worships you. Why are you not showing mercy? You are renowned as the protector of pious devotees. You are great. You are always in the mind of Tyagaraja. Please look at me with love.
