Children, while arguing with one another, though they may say (to each other) ‘wherefrom are You? stop; have you no sense’ etc, don’t the parents, forbearingly, looking at them affectionately as their own children, kiss and cuddle them? am I also not like that to You? O Lord praised by this Thyagaraja! please protect me.

Commentary
- General – By reading together anupallavi (where he mentions about the struggle with his cousins – dAyAdula pOraina ) and Charana (where he mentions about arguing children – vAdADucu bAluru ), it seems Sri Thyagaraja is asking the Lord not to take note of skirmishes between cousins by treating all as His own children (tanayulani muddu peTTi kaugili kUrca lEdA – aTu nEnu kAdA ) and to protect him.
