Sri Ranga Pura Vihaara.-3 ( rupaka thaalam )

Charanam.
Pankajaaptha kula jalanidhi soma.= the friend of lotus i.e Surya.As mentioned earlier Ramaa
belongs to Surya kula.The friend of lotus is further qualified by comparing the relationship
between the ocean and the Moon.
Vara pankaja mukha Pattabhi Raama.=Eminent and with a face like lotus the crown king Raama.
Pada pankaja jitha kaama Raghu raama.= Now, dikshithar brings out first the comparison of Raama's feet with lotus.We have already exalted the worship of the lotus feet of the Lord
in Chaturdasa raagamaalika.Raama is also jitha kaama, the conquerer of kaama being one of the purushaarthaas,Raama of Raghu dynasty.
Vamaanka gatha Seetha vara vesha seshaanka shayana.=With Seetha on His left lap,her consort
Raama has Adisesha for His bed.
Bhaktha santhosha enaanka ravi nayana mridubhasha.= One who pleases the bhakthaas and
has the eyes like the Moon(eNaanka means one who has a black deer on his body) and the
Sun, and is soft spoken.
Akalanka darpana kapola visesha muni sankataharana govinda venkata ramana mukunda
His cheeks are like unblemished fine mirror,He is the remover of obstacles for the sages.
He is addressed as Govinda,Venkata Ramana and Mukunda.
Sankarshana moola kanda Shankara guruguhaananda. = He is the primordial Being and the source of joy to Lord Shiva and Murugaa.With this ends the song and the audio link can be had
