Sri Raghu Rama

This poem is from Daasaradhi Satakam. This slokam means, "O rama, that wears garlands of tulasi leaves, one that has attributes like kshama and srungara, one whose might is praised in the three worlds, one who is beloved of rama( lakshmi), one who killed rakshasas like Kabandha, one who protects everyone, mangalam to you".

Sirikin Cheppadu

When Sri Vishnu hears his devotee Gajendra calling him, he runs to save him. This poem describes how he rushed to the aid of Gajendra. This poem is from Gajendra Moksham in Bhagavatam by Potana.

Vishnu, in his eagerness to save the life of Gaja, does not tell his wife(siri), does not take his sankham and chakram, does not call any of his servents, does not listen to garuda, does not leave the saree of lakshmi that is in his hands.
