Would all my words appealing to you, ‘Give me refuge,’ become a joke?

O Lotus Eyed! O Supreme Lord! Would all my words, appealing to You repeatedly and pitiably, by adhering to You that ‘Give me refuge , Give me refuge’, become a joke?

As Your missile chased and as it became impossible for him (to avoid it), the crow-demon had to pray to the celestials (for protection); but, as the celestials distanced themselves in fright that it is the missile of Sri Rama – the blessed son of King Dasaratha, he - (crow-demon) turning back seeing (his plight), being terrified, the moment he quickly sought refuge in You, for such a person who, with determination, mercifully and firmly gave a boon (to Crow-demon saving his life), as Lord Siva – the Chief of snow mountain and others nicely praised it to be a great honour for You, would all my words appealing repeatedly - ‘give me refuge-give me refuge’ - become a joke?

Earlier, when sage durvAsa – one with the wealth of asceticism – having a spiteful intention in his mind, humbly tested Draupadi truly and severely, she having firmed up in her mind, as soon as she sought refuge in You, O Lotus Eyed! for such a person who protected her easily, kindly, quickly and with great love, to the praise of sages, virtuous people, the multitudes of celestials and demons, the kings – rulers of earth and ordinary people, would all my words appealing repeatedly - ‘give me refuge-give me refuge’ - become a joke?

Isn’t it that, on this Earth, Your feet graciously protected finding ahalyA – one with beautiful teeth - who was terrified in her mind? O Lord whose hands rent asunder those who are arrogant! O Lord who surpasses cupid in handsomeness! O Lord who is the wealth of the wise people! O Lord who is the moon that blossoms the Lotus of the heart of this tyAgarAja! O Lord who slayed Hiranyaksha who seized the earth! O Lord with a very pure teeth! O Lord who is abiding in the hearts of the sages! O Bestower of auspiciousness! Please protect me happily; O Lord with a merciful heart! Please remove all my deficiencies (or fulfil my desires); would all my words appealing repeatedly to You - ‘give me refuge-give me refuge’ - become a joke?
