English translation

 

Pallavi

 

Oh Lord , I do not know, where from you came,

Nor to which place you belong.

At least tell me now about it.

 

Anupallavi

 

Oh Rama, apart from the great beauty that you posses,

You seem to be beyond the three types of qualities.

 

Charanam

 

1.You do not belong to the place of Shiva,

Where one is scared that he may commit mistakes any time.

 

2.You do not belong to  Vaikunta , the  land of the Brahmachari,

Who deceived King  Maha Bali

 

3.You do not belong to the land of fate,

Where the lord lost his head by telling a lie.

 

4.But Thayagaraja is now telling,

That you are Lord Rama  who has,

Come with courage, Dharma , truth and pleasant words.
