Meaning:
In this kruti Dikshitar describes the splendour and glory of Pattabhi Rama the king of Ayodhya and how his brothers,Sugriva,Vibhishana and others were at his service.
Oh Pattabhi Rama, (coronated Rama) protect me. Victory to Rama whose name is chanted by Anjaneya.
Oh kodanda Rama (Rama with bow), Your feet are delicate like tender leaves. Oh RaghuRama, You are blue with lotus like eyes. Oh Kalyana Rama (auspicious Rama), you fulfill our desires.
Bharata and Lakshmana sway chamaram and hold parasol. Satrughna, Vibheeshana, Sugriva and other stalwarts are at your service. Oh son of Dasaratha, eminent sages like Athri, Vasista are your well wishers. You majestically sit along with your consort Seeta on a gem studded throne in a pavillion shinning with nine kinds of gems. It is decorated with colorful
buntings (toranam). Oh Rama Chandra, you are the most pious, You are known for your unblemished character. You are like the moon to the nectar like ocean of the Sun dynasty. You are the ruler of this earth. You are dear to Guru guha

Aha, MLV Amma’s Manirangu raga alapana. Spellbound. I am yet to hear today’s musicians singing Manirangu as gana raga not to talk about ragam thanam Pallavi. Thanks for uploading. Sarangan, Srirangam
