Meaning:
O Lord! RAma! RAma! God of gods! O RAghava! You possess a scintillating hue resembling that of Siva who burnt to ashes Cupid, the god of love, by an angry glance for disturbing His meditation. Like Him, You are also capable of exhibiting various moods and ideas by dancing poster. Holder of arrows at all times ready for the protection of helpless devotees. O Impeccable one! Ocean of compassion! Destruction of demons by you is certain, O Great Rasika!
