O Lord rAma!
Give me the privilege of being in Your service as a (royal) guard.
Give me the privilege of being in Your service as a true (royal) guard who would thrash the six interanal enemies – desire, conceit etc., and make them bite dust.
Give this tyAgarAja the privilege of being in Your service as a (royal) guard on whose person would shine these -
a heavy armour of horripilation,
royal badge of being rAma’s devotee, and
divine sword called rAma’s name.
