Pallavi

Thelisi Rama Chinthanatho,

Namamu  seyaave   Oh Manasa

Pallavi

Oh mind   understanding  it properly ,

Meditating on Rama  , repeat his names.

Anupallavi

THalapu  lanni  nilipi  nimisha maina  ,

THaraka Roopuni   nija  thathvamulanu.

Anupallavi

After stopping  the thought process at least for a minute,

Think about the principle behind he  who makes us cross the ocean of birth.

Charanam

1.Ramayana  sapalakshula  peru,

Kamadhula  poru vaaru veru,

Ramayani  Brahmamunakku   peru,

AA manava   jana nardhulu neeru.

1.Ramaa  is the name of  those with  shifting eyes,

But this will lead to passion    and anger,

But those who debate with this idea  are separate ,

But Rama   is the name of  Para Brahmam  ,

If we meditate understanding this , all the sorrows would go away.

2.Arkam anasu  jilledu  tharu peru,

Markada buddhu  letlu theeru,

Arkudani   Bhaskaruniki   peru ,

Kutharkka  manedu  Anthakaramu  theeru.

2. One weed plant is called Arkam,

And  how would monkey brained ones  think about it,

Arka is the name   of the Sun God,

And if this is  not  thought without logic,

 The   darkness in our life would fade away.

3,Ajamanusu Meshamunaku peru,

Nija  korika lelaagederu ,

Ajudani  Vageeswaruniki   peru,

Vijayamu   kalku  Thyagaraja buthani.

3.Aja is the name  of the goat,

If we think like this how can we fulfill our desires,

The consort  of Saraswathi  is called  Aja,

And due to him many victories can be  got ,

And so understand and pray Rama whom Thyagaraja prays.
