A.P. vEdasannuta bhavamu vEru jEsiti nanuchu || Oh Rama Vedas extol your glory.People are blaming me for dividing our family.
C 1 panchaSara janaka prapanchamunagala
sukhamu manchu vale nanuchu madinenchiti gAni
panchukoni dhanamu lArjinchukoni
sari yevvaranuchu mari gatiyu lEdanuchu balkitinA ||
Oh Rama the father of Manmadha who wields five arrows, I always considered that all worldly pleasures are ephemeral like dew drops. Did I earn lots of money after taking my share and arrogantly declare that others are not equal to me. Did I say that there is no other way.
C 2 dinamu nityOtsavamunakAsa jenditinA
manasunanu yillu okaTani yunTigAni
anudinamu yorula mElunu joochi
tALalEkanu renDu sEyavalenanuchu balkitinA ||
Oh Rama, did I crave to celebrate lavishly everyday ? I only wanted a seperate place for my worship. I always prayed for the welfare of others and never wanted partition due to haterd for others.
C3 prANamEpATiyani mAnamE mElanTi
gAni SreerAma paramAnanda jaladhee
SrinAdha kulamulO lEni dArini baTTi
jAneDudaramu nimpa norula bogaDitinA ||
Oh Rama, I considred that respect for others is greater than my life itself. You are embodiment of supreme bliss. I chose to lead a life different from others around. Did I ever flatter others to fill my stomach?
C4 AjAnubAhuyuga Sree jAnakeepati
payOjAksha Sree tyAgarAjanuta charaNa

Oh Rama the consort of Janaki, you are handsome with long and strong arms. Your eyes are beautiful like lotus flower. Tyagaraja worships your sacred feet. You shower your grace abundantly on your worshippers and protect them. You are ideal king. I am yours.
