Meaning:
Is it possible for one to obtain such a great blessing of serving the Lord?
Can such divine service be attained even by great sages who perform severe austerities, or by celestial beings themselves?
When celestial singers like Tumburu and Narada sing sweet kirtanas, when Indra and other gods chant your name, when heavenly damsels dance gracefully, when Brahma and other deities praise you, when celestial beings adorned with armlets and shining ornaments assemble, when serpents like Adisesha serve as your bed even in such divine company, O Lord, how can I, Thyagaraja, ever hope to attain your service?
Your emerald-like radiant body, your feet shining with golden anklets, the brilliance of the crescent moon adorning your nails, the melodious sound of your anklets, your arms adorned with diamond ornaments, your chest decorated with pearl garlands, your ears shining with beautiful fish-shaped earrings, your enchanting smile, your cheeks glowing like the full moon, your forehead decorated with divine marks , O Lord, you are indeed the very treasure of beauty in this world. Is it possible to attain the service of such a Lord?
Even great sages who are free from ignorance and delusion cannot adequately praise you. You are seated beautifully in a golden grove, granting the desired boons to devotees, accompanied by Sita Devi. You are the son of Dasharatha, the redeemer of the world, the slayer of the demon Ravana, the one beyond the three gunas, the embodiment of bliss and consciousness, the abode of all virtues. O Lord Rama, can I, Thyagaraja, ever behold and serve you with my eyes and heart?
