P Is there is anyone (galarE) who could govern (kArubAru sEyuvAru) (literally manage affairs) the town (nagaru) (nagarini) of ayOdhyA (sAkEta) like You (nIvale)?

A Is there is anyone like You who could govern the town of ayOdhyA such that -

the people of the town (UrivAru), the citizens (janulu) of the country (dESa), and the blessed (vara) sages (munulu) becoming (ayyE) exultingly (uppongucunu) (literally swelling with pride) (munuluppongucunu) fortunate (bhAvukulu) (bhAvukulayyE)?

C Being bestowed (kaligi) with three (mUDu) spells of rain (vAnalu) every month (nelaku),

attaining (kaligi) proficiency (nErpu) in all (akhila) (vAnalakhila) arts and crafts (vidyala) and

attaining (kaligi) a long (dIrgha) life (Ayuvu) (dIrghAyuvu),

did they (people) not (lEdA) remain bereft of (rahitulugA) intrigue (calamu) and arrogance (garva)?

O Lord rAma praised (vinuta) by this pious (sAdhu) tyAgarAja!

is there anyone who could govern the town of ayOdhyA like You?
