O Lord who is far away from those who are proficient in Sastras but bereft of devotion! O Lotus petal eyed! O Prince – Son of the King! O Lord Raghuvira - abiding in the heart of Ganapati or Skanda – son of Parvati (OR) O Lord Raghuvira – abiding in the heart of sage Parasara – son of sage Sakti (son of sage Vasishtha)! O Lord who is tranquil! O Lord who is immutable! O Brave as Meru – golden mountain - who speaks words appropriate to the occasion! O Lord reclining on the couch of Sesha – the serpent! O Lord who has retinue of sages! O Majestic Lord who is free of desires, passion or delusion and pride! O Wind which drives away the clouds called enemies of this Thyagaraja!
