Meaning: http://thyagaraja-vaibhavam.blogspot.com/2007/06/thyagaraja-kriti-manasu-loni-marmamu.html

P: O Lord who vouchsafes (rakshaka) the honour (mAna) of the devotees! O Lord whose body (anga) (literally limbs) is (are) of emerald hue (dark-green) (marakata) (marakatAnga)!

Deign to understand (telusukO) (literally know) the inner (lOni) yearning (marmamunu) (literally secret) of my (nA) mind (manasu).

A O Benefactor (Apta) of Solar (ina) dynasty (kula) (kulApta)! There is none (lEru) else (vEru evaru) (vErevaru) excepting (kAni) You (nIvE)! O Lord whose heart (hRdaya) is ever in the state of bliss (Ananda)!

O Lord who vouchsafes the honour of the devotees! O Lord whose body is of emerald hue! deign to understand the inner yearning of my mind.

C O Lord (ayya)! It is not (kAdu) (kAdayya) great (goppa) that You earlier (munupu) governed (Elinadi) me always (sadA) kindly (canuvuna) (canuvunElinadi) as the affectionate (prEma-gala) Lord (doravai);

kindly (kanikarambutOnu) hold (paTTu) my (nA) hand (karamu) at this (I) (kanikarambutOnI) moment (vELa);

O Lord praised (vinuta) by this tyAgarAja! O Lord who vouchsafes the honour of the devotees! O Lord whose body is of emerald hue! deign to understand the inner yearning of my mind.

Meaning (from TK Govinda Rao’s book)

O one with Radiant hue of emerald! Pray be aware of the yearning of my mind. O protector of devotees from shames and disgraces!

O benefactor of the solar race! You are the sole refuge and no one else.

O Ananda Hrudaya – one with heart brimming over with Bliss!

In the past, as my kindly Lord, you protected me with affection and compassion. But what avail is it if you do not deign to clasp my hand and grace me when I need you most?
