O Lord SrI rAma! O Lord of divine form endowed with courage, righteousness, truth and soft speech! O Lord praised by this tyAgarAja! Where from did You proceed? Which is Your abode? I do not know; at least now please let me know. Your beauty and charm are of totally different nature; Your conduct etc. are beyond the three qualities (sAtvika, rAjasa and tAmasa). Yours is not the abode of Lord Siva where, for flimsy reasons, charges are slapped; Your abode is not vaikuNTha of Lord vishNu who, taking the form of a brahmacAri, subdued King bali by deceit; Yours is not the abode of brahmA who got his head plucked by uttering falsehood. Then, where from did You proceed? Which is Your abode?
