Meaning:
Oh Rama! I have unabashedly committed many sins. Who, in this world, will rescue me? Every moment I was slave to evil doings. I did not understand your omnipresence in this world. I did not take the path of devotion within the age of 12. I praised others to covet wealth and earn my livelihood, I was foolishly happy thinking that all that is worldly is happiness. I attracted the common folk and women by my speech, while doing so, I thought that I am equal o the greatest musicians and great men of letter . I was steeped in pride. I thought that land, property, wealth, servants etc. are permanent. I forgot to worship and pray at godŐs lotus feet, GodŐs face did not dwell in my mind. I sought egoistic men. I did not shun evil thoughts. I was tormented by them. I forgot to appreciate the great value of having got this rate opportunity of human birth. I was slave to carnal desire and other evil thoughts. I did things, which were not befitting my class, Who ever will rescue me? (Shri Thyagaraja has sung this krithi putting himself in the place of a sinner fully owning his sins.)
pallavi: Who is there to save this great sinner?
anupallavi: My sins are mounting every moment by my enticement to the evil deeds
caraNam 1: The moon to the lotus heart of Lakshmi. You are beyond comprehension of the mind and speech.
caraNam 2: I am a sinner who lost the sense to understand your omnipresence in all the living things.
caraNam 3: I am a sinner who slayed people without rhyme or reason and did not obtain the nectar of your worship in the young age.
caraNam 4: I am a sinner who went astray and repeatedly hurt peopleŐs feelings for the sake of coveting their wealth.
caraNam 5: I am a sinner who whiled away the time thinking that everything happening in this materialistic world is happy living.
caraNam 6: I preached to charm and obtain the attention of hypocrites who do not have wisdom, mean people who sought call girls and prostitutes. I was happy doing so feeling proud and egoistic that I am equal to any great follower of god without even having the capacity of understanding the swara or laya.
caraNam 7: I was carried away by outward appearances, women, land, property, children, servants and wealth thinking that these were permanent. Moreover, I have sinned by forgetting to worship your lotus feet.
caraNam 8: GodŐs face did not dwell in my mind. I sought egoistic men. I did not shun evil thoughts. I was tormented by them.
caraNam 9: I forgot to appreciate the great value of having got this rate opportunity of human birth. I was slave to carnal desire and other evil thoughts. Though I have been born in the highest Brahmin class, I have been performing functions, which are very unbecoming of my class. I have continuously sinned.
caraNam 10: Oh my god! I have been a sinner who has gone astray in research of women, children and wealth at various stages of my life.
