Meaning:
O LOkAbhirAma! Won't you come and protect me? You are acclaimed as the benefactor of all Creation from the tiny ant to the Trinity. Charmer of mankind. You fascinate and lure us. Have you at any time found me seeking money from any quarter whatsoever, to lead and indolent, artificial life of pomp and luxury? Have I been roaming about, bloated with haughtiness and indulging in sinister, unscrupulous acts? O SItArAma worshipped by TyAgarAja!
