Summary

Oh lord, the one who steals the hearts of women, I want to have a word with you, please don’t ignore me. I desire to have the privilege of worshipping your feet just like your lucky and blessed brothers. There is a different reason for someone who is blessed with being the learned and for following the righteous path. The composer, perhaps is inferring that the secret behind Anjaneya, who was born to serve Rama (with dAsya Bhakti) is a different one (it is said that lord siva comes to serve rAma as Anjaneya). Please forgive me as I am not blessed with that. Oh lord, who is praised by tyAgarAja, bless me to serve at your feet.
