Summary:

Oh Sri krishNa, what is causing this delay? KrishNa, please shower your kindness as I can not bear this misery. You are full of the essence of rAma, is it difficult to protect me? Is it my mistake to have trusted you? Is it fair to stay modest and test us like this. Would you shower you blessings if one stays without any desires, enjoys melodies, performs rituals, yoga and treats you in luxuries? Lord VishNu, who reclines on the serpent king, Adi sEsha and you are praised by the garuDa, the eagle and worshiped by tYagarAja with his hands.
