Meaning:
O Enjoyer of music! O My Mind! How is it possible to describe the greatness of zrI rAma (praised by this tyAgarAja)? It is beyond words. While He thrashed the demon mArica, He slayed subAhu.
His Spouse desired to make a fan of animal tail; understanding this, the Lord discharged a missile to sever the tail of an animal; the animal seeing the missile, projected its neck in front of the missile in order to die and save its honour rather than losing its hair; seeing this, the Lord took pity and He, being the reliever of the distress of the humble, in order to grant its life back, quickly scattered then and there the missile which was already on its way to the target.
