Meaning:

pallavi

You are there to take care of all my burdens. This makes me fearless, Sri Rama!

anupallavi

I have not lost my way and it gives me confidence to know that you are the destination

caranam 1

I have committed many misdeeds. But what does it matter?
I have aware of your fame of saving the depraved, O Rama!

caranam 2

Come what may, I have belief in you. Taking care of me will make good name for you also.
I am not worth so much that you could spend time in counting my flaws

caranam 3

I have heard the stories of others who have achieved liberation in their devotion to you.
Why are you acting like you are unable to listen to me? I can not keep requesting again and again.

caranam 4

You definitely have the title of the one who protects those who surrender to you.
With this affection, what I am holding on to is not the branch of a moringa tree (which is very flimsy at best)

caranam 5

Brahma has written that you are worthy of many kinds of praise
Do not alienate me by mistakenly thinking I am someone unpleasant, but take me into your service

caranam 6

I am recounting great things about you as you are the Lord of Bhadrachalam.
I know your beautiful intention of taking care of Ramadasu
