Translated by

Raga Mukari
Thala Aadhi
Pallavi
Elavathara methu kondilo,
Emi karanamo ramudai
Anupallavi
Aalame putaka Ayodhyaa,
Palana chese dendhukka Sri Rama
Charanam
Yogula brachedunthuka bhava,
Rogula brachedunthuka , satha,
Raga rathna malikanu rasinchina,
Thyaga rajuniki varamosa kudaka
Pallavi
Oh Lord , what is the cause of your,
Being born as Lord Rama
Anupallavi
Is it for grazing the cattle or is it,
To rule and look after Ayodhya,
Charanam
Is it for looking after great sages?
Is it to remove the sorrow of birth?
Or is it to become a Lord to,
Thyagaraja , who composed,
This garland of pearls of songs.
