This kRti seems to be part of rAga ratna mAlika - rIti gauLa – (gemstone garland of rAgas) which SrI tyAgarAja asserts to have composed on rAma. The words of this kRti (sItA pati nA manasuna) could aptly fit into the character of sugrIva.
After making friendship with sugrIva, SrI rAma assures sugrIva that he will kill vAli and restore kingdom to him. However, when sugriva kept on harping on the might of his brother, SrI rAma demonstrated his prowess by lifting and flinging the carcass of dundhubi. But, as doubt still persisted in the mind of sugrIva, SrI rAma again demonstrated his prowess by piercing seven sAla trees by one arrow. Only then sugrIva is convinced. Probably this is what SrI tyAgarAja calls 'nI mahimalella niNDAra jUpi' (having demonstrated fully Your prowess).
