>The janaranjani raaga krithi "naadaadina maata nEdu thappavaladhu, naa

>thandRi Sri Raamaa" - Saint Thyagaraja pours out his heart saying "Oh, my

>dear father, Sri Raamaa- you have assured me earlier in my younger days,

>that you will protect me for all the 365 days through out, because I am

>doing bakthi at your feet. You have also assured that the dangers coming to

>me will be removed without causing much damage to me (thalaikku vanthathu

>thalaip paagaiyOda pOgum), you are easily attainable in the bakthi net for

>sincere bakthaas like me (bakthi valaiyil agappaduvaai). You also assured

>that you will see that I am always attached to you and you alone in bakthi

>etc. These assurances you gave after a lot of thinking. Now you forget all

>these and leave me, this poor thyagarajan".

>The kaamboji raaga krithi "mari mari ninne"

>Thyagaraja says "I am pleading again and again to you Oh my Raama- you are

>not moved.

>You rushed to save the elephant in distress on a single call from him. What

>is the reason for that?

>You appeared in front of dhruvan.

>You appeared in front of hiraNyan , the enemy of the devaas just for the sake

>of his son. What are the reasons for these acts?

>You saved Sugreeva who forgot all his assurances to you.

>Oh, the beloved god of thyagaraja, I cannot bear any more. I will not listen

>to you, unless you save me from this kind of repeated pleading to you".

>

>Oh what an amount of maha visvaasam on Raama that he will save the bakthaa

>from all troubles.
