Sri Ramachandra always
wearing quiver (battalike), bows, sword while defending in the war. That's why
he has got the marks of holding these weapons in his body (ie in hands and
shoulders). Sri Ramachandra's radiance is equal to or more than the radiance of
Sun. He has protected the large mountain battalion of monkey armies and had
control over all of them. When Sri Rama saw king of Ocean, Varuna shouting
(behaving abnormally, arbhata) before constructing the bridge across the ocean,
by seeing through the edges of his eyes, King of ocean surrendered by bowing to
him with lots of gems (jewels, precious stones and pearl) to his feet. Sri
Rama's feet was looking beautiful by the decoration of these jewels.
Hanumantha, one who is the husband of Bharathi and son of Mukhya Prana after
burning Lanka from his tail fire came to Sri Rama and made Sri Rama's feet dust
(particles) as tilaka (ornamental mark made on the forehead with coloured
earth). Sri Rama along with Nila, Angadha monkeys has built a bridge across the
ocean and crossed the same. Sri Vadiraja is praising Sri Ramachandra that he is
always excellent and winning.

After constructing the
bridge across the ocean and on reaching the out skirts of Lanka Sri Rama roared
with "HUM" and from his bows he made 'TINKARA' ( Tinkara is the sound
one makes through the threads of bow). On hearing this sound, sinful land Lanka
city and other superior devataas starting suspecting that it may be of
Vajrayudha (Indra's defence weapon) which has come to destroy the wings of
mountains, which in turn may fall on them and started fearing about it. Ravana's
also had suspicion on hearing these sounds. His mind was shaken by that and
started feeling he is nearing death in the form of Sri Rama. Sri Hari who is in
the form of Sri Rama, one who is wearing bows and arrows which are equal to
hundreds of Yama's danda, and he has been called 'Kodanda Rama'.
Sri Vadiraja is praying
Sri Ramchandra to give him mind to pray him always.

Sri Ramachandra is wise
(sarvagna, all knowing). His body is charming which one cannot be explained fully
(aprameya). Those who pray his name they
will get rid of all sufferings. Sri Lakshmi Devi, Brahma, Rudra, Shesha, Kama
(manmatha), Indra, Guru, Chandra are all praising him continuously without any interruptions.
Sri Hari's Protection and pralaya cannot be understood fully (beyond one's
understanding and imagination). The same Sri Hari who is in the form of Sri
Rama became destroyer for Ravana and his ministers.
Sri Narayana is the one
who does not have definite body (apakrita) and one who is being proved to be
explained from the ancient Vedas which are being called apourasheyaa. Sri
Vadiraja Yathi is praying the same Sri Narayana who is in the form of Sri
Ramachandra to protect all the people.

One night Indra (who is
afflicted to kama (lust)) who enacted like Gautama saint, destroyed the
fidelity (loyalty to a husband) of beautiful looking Ahalya, who is the wife of
saint Gautama. On knowing this act saint Gautama cursed Ahalya to become stone
(he cursed Indra also). By touching the stone of Ahalya Sri Rama blessed her
with previous body with dresses and jewels as it is. He also blessed great
people like Shabari, the tribal born women, Jatayu, the one who is born in the
family of eating dead bodies, flushes and Vibhishana, the one who is born in
the family of demons. Sri Rama blessed these great people with all good and
sacred things.
One day, an old Brahmin
walked into Rama's court with the dead body of his son. He was crying and
started blaming Rama for the death of his five-year-old son. The Brahmin said
that he had never committed a sin in his life and couldn't understand why his
son had died at such an early age. He was convinced that his son must have died
as a result of some sins committed by Rama.
Rama
was very sad and called Sage Vashistha. The sage told him that a man called
Shambuk, a shudra(fourth caste), was doing a very powerful tapasya, which he
was not permitted to do. If he was punished, the little boy would come back to
life. Rama immediately left in search of Shambuk.
Finally,
Rama found Shambuk praying near a river in the forest. When Shambuk revealed
his identity, Rama took out his sword and cut Shambuk's head off and the little
boy became alive again.
Sri Vadiraja is praying
the same Sri Ramachandra to protect him.

Sri Vadiraja is praying
Sri Krishna in this verse.
Sri Krishna use to
protect all the groups of cows which are living in Vrindavana. For Indra and
other devataas, who are sheltering and praying him he will act as chief
protector. He has manifested as son of Nanda Gopa. He destroyed all demons
(asuras) who are abusing devataas. He has been called 'Damodara' because when
he broke the curd pots. His mother Yashoda got wild for his naughty play and
tied his beautiful looking stomach with the tag to the grinding stone. His face
is shining like complete sixteen arts of moon (shodasha kala pari poorna). By
seeing his beautiful face even moon himself is feeling shy. His teeths are
shining like a lines of Jasmine (vertical length) which are grown usually in
the month of maga (11th lunar month). His body is charming like black clouds
with full of water. The same Sri Krishna use to roam around Vrindavan by
killing all demons living there.
Sri Vadiraja is praying
that all devotees are saluting the same Sri Krishna paramathma again and again.

Nandadi (those living in
the place called Nanda Gokula) Gopala's (those who are looking after cows are
called Gopala's) started doing customary festival to Indra (called Indrotsava).
In the festival Gopala's have prepared Holige (sweet cake), Payasa (liquid
sweet dish), Tovve (dish prepared from Toor dal) and different types of rices
(cooked rice, mixture rice) to offer Indra. But Krishna suggested to perform
the puja to Govardhana Mountain in Vridavana instead of Indra. On Sri Krishna
suggestion Gopala's offered all the above items to Govardhana Mountain. Sri
Krishna received all these offerings by his presence in one form inside the
Govardhana Mountain. Indra got very wild, he wanted to stop the puja. Then
Indra sent clouds with full of water which started pouring heavy rains in
Vridavana. This rain was equal to the waters gushing during the time of pralaya.
Indra created dangers to all cows and Gopala's. Then Sri Krishna lifted
Govardhana Mountain and protected and gave shelter to all Gopala's and their
cows beneath the mountain.
Sri Krishna who has the
quality of Manmatha by attracting beautiful Gopika ladies by seeing through the
edges of his eyes. By attracting all these Gopika ladies all of them desired to
have him as their husband. By showing his play Sri Krishna robbed the sarees of
these beautiful ladies when they were taking bath in the river Yamuna and kept
on the top of the trees. He also realized their pure love and devotion and
blessed them all. The same Sri Krishna has stolen the Parijatha Tree which was
there in adobe and brought to Dwaraka. He also killed the demon called
Vyamasura who is the enemy of Gopala's.
Sri Vadiraja is praying
Sri Krishna who has done many wonderful things and has solved many dangers and thus
he is praying to solve many dangers.
