Was it not earlier famous that the nature of differentiating, as ‘own people’ and ‘others’, is not there for the great Sri Rama – son of Dasaratha? It is not noble for You - worshipped by Lord Siva - Thyagaraja – who is the friend of Kubera - to remain without protecting me who couldn’t be separated from You.

Commentary
- 2 nErani – this word has two different meanings – ’not happen’ and ’not learnt’. Though both meanings seem to fit, ’not happen’ seem to be more appropriate.
