Meaning:
Lotus petal Eyed! O Exalted Lord! O Lord well praised by this tyAgarAja! When are you going to hold my hand firmly? Indeed, it is only like this since my birth; but, when are you going to hold my hand firmly?

When are you going to hold my hand firmly (saying) that - “why roam around the quarters of those insipid lords who – thinking that theirs to be high status, uttering wrong words, remain always swollen with pride due to arrogance, and aspire for quick approbation without knowing appropriateness”?

When are you going to hold my hand firmly (saying) that - “why follow those rich who do not know the worth of people who – bestow gifts treating equally those great pious persons along with their attendants, and without bothering about salvation, worship (other) humans who are conceited about their possessions like elephants and wealth”?

When are you going to hold my hand firmly (saying) that - “for God’s sake, do not beseech those discrimination-less, wealth inebriated persons who - some times performing worship of Lord Siva and at other times worship of Lord vishNu, think that none else in this World can perform (worship) like them”?
