No one, however virtuous he may be, without the grace of a Guru will know how to cut through the forest of mental ills (the tApatraya)! It is the good Guru, who is Tyagaraja's friend who out of compassion imparts the knowledge of the Supreme, which is the medicine that cures one of the sorrows caused by the cycles of birth and death and the associated bodily suffering and attachments to offspring, wealth, wife, relatives and friends! Notes: This kriti is in praise of the Guru or preceptor, who imparts true knowledge that leads to supreme bliss, before which all earthly joys and sorrows vanish. All worldly attachments are considered ills by Hindu philosophy, due to their very impermanence, which is what Tyagaraja advocates here.
