>The janaranjani raaga krithi "naadaadina maata nEdu thappavaladhu, naa
>thandRi Sri Raamaa" - Saint Thyagaraja pours out his heart saying "Oh, my
>dear father, Sri Raamaa- you have assured me earlier in my younger days,
>that you will protect me for all the 365 days through out, because I am
>doing bakthi at your feet. You have also assured that the dangers coming to
>me will be removed without causing much damage to me (thalaikku vanthathu
>thalaip paagaiyOda pOgum), you are easily attainable in the bakthi net for
>sincere bakthaas like me (bakthi valaiyil agappaduvaai). You also assured
>that you will see that I am always attached to you and you alone in bakthi
>etc. These assurances you gave after a lot of thinking. Now you forget all
>these and leave me, this poor thyagarajan".

>of his son. What are the reasons for these acts?
>You saved Sugreeva who forgot all his assurances to you. 
>Oh, the beloved god of thyagaraja, I cannot bear any more. I will not listen
>to you, unless you save me from this kind of repeated pleading to you".
