TRANSLATION: I meditate on my guru, the one who had transcended the Ocean of

Divine Music, the one who was blessed with the skills and arts by the Divine Mother and
Skanda, the one the world celebrates as Muddusvami Dks.ita, the one who incarnated
in Tiruvar ur, the abode of Lord Tyagaraja, as Ramasvami Diks.itas son; the
one who was ordained with the coveted sr vidya dks. a, the one who sang on the
entire pantheon of Gods, the one who is the Lion among composers!
