Meaning:
Lord ! Come what may. I will never stray from your proximity. Who else is Anjaneya, but an offshoot of Siva, the vanquisher of death!
Has he not steadfastly attached himself to you and is he not serving you eternally?
Did not Adisesha, the mighty serpent and ornament of Siva incarnate as Lakshmana along with you with the sole aim of serving and worshipping you ?
Was not Vasishtha, supreme among sages, your mentor and guide imparting spiritual wisdom? O Narayana! Didn't the entire host of celestials come down to earth as Vanaras (monkey men) in anticipation
of your incarnation as Rama to elevate themselves by serving you? Is not Tyagaraja enjoying the Bliss of singing your glory and divine attributes celebrated in the Vedas and other sacred lore?
