Meaning: (Courtesy: http://thyagaraja-vaibhavam.blogspot.... )
O Lord reclining (Sayana) in the Ocean (sAgara) of Milk (kshIra)! O Lord rAma! Should You keep (peTTa valenA) me (nannu) in distress (cintala)?

O Lord rAma! I heard (vinnAnurA) about Your coming (vaccinadi) quickly (vEgamE) in order to protect (brOvanu) gajEndra - the King (rAjunu) of elephants (vAraNa);
O Lord reclining in the Ocean of Milk! O Lord rAma! Should You keep me in distress?

I (nE) heard (vinnAnurA) long ago (nADE) about Your giving (iccinadi) sarees (cIralu) (cIraliccinadi) to draupadi – gem of a woman (nArI maNiki);
I also heard (vinnAnurA) about Your bringing to an end (tIrcinadi) the incarceration (bandhamu) of the brave (dhIruDau) rAma dAsu (dAsuni);
I even heard (vinnAnurA) about Your (nI) fame (kIrtini) in crossing (dATina) the ocean (nIradhi) for the sake of sItA - the Lotus (nIraja) eyed (akshi) (nIrajAkshikai);
O Lord whose name (nAma) carries one across (tAraka) (the ocean of Worldly Existence)! O Lord praised (nuta) by this tyAgarAja! O Lord rAma! Please govern (ElukOrA) me with compassion (dayatOnu) (dayatOnElukOrA);
O Lord reclining in the Ocean of Milk! O Lord rAma! Should You keep me in distress?
