Summary :        This devotional hymn is an earnest prayer of complete refuge (sharanagati) dedicated to Lord Sri Rama (addressed as Dasharathi, the son of Dasharatha, and the crest-jewel of the Solar dynasty). The composition extols the Lord's boundless compassion, describing Him as an ocean of mercy whose sacred feet radiate the tender crimson hue of the rising dawn. Weaving the universal Vedantic sentiment of total surrender—proclaiming Lord Rama as one's true mother, father, and eternal relation—the verses implore the lotus-eyed savior to protect and safeguard the humble devotee just as He shields the noble and righteous.

Pallavi : O Lord Rama, vast ocean of mercy and compassion, noble son of King Dasharatha! O Sri Rama, supreme crest-jewel of the Solar dynasty (Inakula)!

Anupallavi : O Rama, whose sacred lotus feet radiate with the tender, brilliant rosy luster of the rising dawn sun; O treasure of sublime virtues, ever merciful and compassionate, renowned through the devotion and adoration of Your seekers!

Charanam-1 : You alone are my mother, You alone are my father, and You alone are my true kin and eternal friend; I surrender completely at Your refuge-granting lotus feet. O lotus-eyed Lord, guardian and savior of the valiant, protector of the gentle and righteous, please preserve and protect me!
