Meaning: (Approximate – please report any errors)

Rama, do we not always depend (“nammina”) entirely on You (“ninu”)? You who have the entire (“sakala”) creation (“lOkAbhi”) under Your spell! Always (“vAramu”) come (“gAmA”) and protect me.

You take care (“dUra”) of the afflicted ones (“pAmara jana”). You are the store of all virtues (“vara guNa ghrNa”). Your beautiful form (“pAnga shubAnga”) gives ecstasy to the sages’ hearts (“muni hrdAbja bhrnga”).

Do hasten (“vAlAyamugAnu rAnu”) to protect me. You have unparalleled virtues (“jAgEla suguNa”). You have made the heart of dasharatha very happy (“hrdayAnandakara”).

You enthrall Lakshmi (“shrI lOla”) and shine (“velayu”) with glory. You have large eyes (“mIka phala lOcana”). You take care of the entire folks of Ayodhya (“janapAla”). You are decked with golden ornaments (“kanakamaya”). Don’t forget me (“cEla ika parAkEla”) and please come and protect me (“mammEla”) now (“ipuDu”)! How can your heart / mind not melt for me (”nIdu manasEla rAdu”) !
