meaning
pallavi
O My Mind! Chant the names of the Lord understanding (the meanings) and only with the thought of Lord Sri Rama.
anupallavi
O My Mind! Chant the names of Lord Sri Rama understanding the true significance of the Lord of the form of one who carries across the ocean of Worldly Existence, by ceasing all (other) thoughts at least for the duration of winking of eyelids (or for a minute), and with only the thought of the Lord.
caraNam 1
If one utters ‘Rama', it is the name of a fickle eyed woman also; those who fight lust or desire etc. are different (from the ones who bring to mind the form of woman when chanting the name of ‘Rama’). If one utters ‘Rama’, it is also the name of Supreme Lord; (when chanting the name ‘Rama’ if the the holy form of Supreme Lord comes to mind) the miseries of birth (and death) of those people will come to end.
caraNam 2
The Milk-weed plant is called ‘Arka’; (when chanting name ‘Arka’, if milk-weed comes to mind) how the monkey-like thoughts or behaviour will come to an end? the Sun is also called ‘Arka’; (When chanting the name ‘Arka’ if Sun comes to mind), the darkness called fallacious arguments (sophistry) will come to an end.
caraNam 3
The he-goat is called ‘Aja’; (when chanting the name ‘Aja’ if he-goat comes to mind) how the true aspirations will come to fruition? Lord Brahma – Consort of Sarasvati is also called ‘Aja’; (When chanting the name ‘Aja’, if the form of Lord Brahma comes to mind) one will attain success. O My Mind! Chant the names of Lord understanding the meanings and with only the thought of the Lord Sri Rama – praised by this Thyagaraja.
