Tyagaraja Kriti

Meaning - Gist
The Lord of Death is worried.

Looking at all pious people ever engaged in devoutly singing names of Lord, the Lord of Death is worried.
Looking at his army of warriors wielding trident and noose, and telling them that 'now the time has come for abatement of your uproar', the Lord of Death is worried.
In the same manner as the ferocious sage agastya who dried up the ocean, thinking of the name 'rAma' – carrier across the Ocean of Worldly Existence - which subdues even the terrible hell etc., the Lord of Death is worried.
If there are at least those who wander about without knowing the path (of salvation) it is enough (so that he could lay hand on them), taking note that they also are singing the compositions of tyAgarAja considering them to be the essence (of tAraka nAma), the Lord of Death is worried.
