This stotra/shloka has so much meaning. It might have been said millions and millions of times by the very many million devotees of Rayaru. So, what does this stotra mean? Understanding this stotra/sloka brings tears in my eyes. So without much delay lets understand the meaning.

I worship the esteemed Raghavendra who is the protector of Satya and Dharma. I salute the esteemed Raghavendra who is like a kalpavriksha. I bow to Sree Raghavendra who is also like our Kamadhenu.

Kalpavriksha is a divine tree, which is there to fulfill all our wishes. Kamadhenu, similarly is a wish fulfilling cow. It is also sometimes referred to as mother of all cows.

Sree Raghavendra fulfills the desires of all the devotees who sincerely pray to him. Rayaru has no bias towards any caste, color or creed.  Exactly like the Kalpavriksha and Kanadhenu. A cow doesn’t ask who the milk is for? Everyone from a child to a 100 year old consumes milk. The cow just gives milk without even asking if the milk is going to be consumed by a Hindu, or if he is a Madhwa or Iyengar or anyone else. The same way Rayaru fulfills the wishes of his devoteed.

Anyone irrespective of their religion, caste, color when pray sincerely will have their wishes fulfilled. We have seen this from the several miracles performed. That’s the reason Rayaru is referred to as Kalpavriksha and Kamadhenu.

So, lets all sincerely pray several times a day this two lines for good health, lots of devotion and peace in the entire world.
