Ikshvaku Kula Tilaka Meaning:
Pallavi:
Oh Ramachandra, the noblest person of Ikshvaku dynasty, if you don’t protect me, who else is there for me?
Charanam:
Oh Ramachandra, I built the ramparts around the temple spending ten thousand varahalu (money).
I got the pavilions built in the towers. Please don’t treat me as a stranger. Oh Ramachandra, protect me.
I offered emerald medallion to Bharata, spending ten thousand varahalu.
I presented a gold belt to Satrughna, spending ten thousand moharilu (money).
I presented a beautiful pearl medallion to Lakshmana spending ten thousand varahaalu.
I offered a valuable pendant to Mother Sita, costing ten thousand varahaalu.
I presented vahanas (vehicles) to each one of you, but I am fettered with chains.
I presented you a pretty and glittering plume with which you wear with pride. Do you think this Jewelry is your ancestral property?
Did emperor Dasaratha, your father, present you with all these ornaments? Or did emperor Janaka, your father-in-law send them to you?
Pardon me, don’t be wary. I blamed you because I was not able to bear the torture.
My life has become useless like the water sprinkled on a river. I became worse than the downtrodden women.
I did not consider that the government money was so valuable while spending it for you. I cannot bear the lashes anymore. Oh Rama, please clear my debt.
Oh, son of Dasaratha and Kausalya, you established yourself well in Bhadrachalam. Please save me.
Oh Ramachandra, you are the savior of devotees. Please protect Ramadasu.
