Meaning:
Oh, Mind ! Be honest in making it clear, whether acquisition of material wealth or an
opportunity to be of service to Lord Sri Rama, is more conducive and satisfying ! Milk,
butter and curd on the one side and ambrosia of meditation and worship of Sri Rama on
the other - Which one is a better choice ? Controlling one's senses as good as a dip in
the serene Ganges or enjoyment of worldly pleasures comparable to bathing in a well
having mire and dirt - which is better ? Would it not be a better alternative to sing the
glory of the kindly Lord, as is done by wise ones like Thyagaraja, than engaging in the
flattery of mortals swollen with insolence and deception ?
