Charanam
1.Anudhinamu thara thanaya vargadulabha,
Lanamaseyu koraku dhanamulukalikina,
Manujula pogadi aarjinchina vaikamulajoochi,
Thanaku sari lethani piguvuna thirigina nannu
2.Kayaja janaka naa prayamu;ellanu,
Mayapoorithulaina dayadhulachetha,
Sayaparuanthamu kaya klesamu jenda,
Nayenukani mouni dhyeya,
Ninnutheliya leni nannu
3. Sathamani baandhavula jathanu nammi mathiki,
Hithavuleka yo pathitha pavana sam
Thathamu Thyagaraja hitha soora nigarapoo,
Jitha nine charanu jochithi kaani nannu
English translation
Pallavi
How will you save me, Ramachandra
Anupallavi
Me who is caught in the whirlpool of domestic life
Charanam
1.How will you save me Ramachandra,
Me , who gets money by praising the rich,
To look after my wives and children,
And act as if there is none as god as me.
2.Oh Lord Vishnu, the father of God of love,
Except my body getting thinner by working,
For the relatives and family of mine,
I have never bothered to find you out,
And so God , who is worshipped by the silent,
How are you going to save me.
3.Thinking that these relatives are more permanent,
I was not wise, Oh God who uplifts the sinners,
And were you not the one who did good to this Thyagaraja,
Inspite of the fact that Devas were worshipping you,
How are you going to save me.
