Meaning:

Gem of the solar dynasty of unmatched beauty! Refuge of the meek and oppressed! You have shown me sufficient indifference and disregard already ! It is time for you to make amends. Consider my appeal for you grace compassionately and respond with affection. O Worshipped by Shiva! Why be proud in spite of being indifferent to this helpless devotee? What is it that you have scored? Who else will protect me? O abode of virtues! O spotless one! You lifted by hand the Govardhana hill , you are everything to Tyagaraja.

1. The swaraprasthara at the end is the icing in the cake
2. Harikambhoji flows like a cascade
3. The pitamaha gives us his all time famous Sarvalaghu Prayogas
4. Visesha sarvalagu Prayogas : ga ga ma;ga ga pa;ga ga da; ga ga ni; ga sa* ni da pa da ni da da..
5. In the krithi part there is a beautiful Sangathi in the anupallavi at Madini dalanchuchu
6. Harikambhoji is indeed a raga with "first among the equals" status
