O Lord rAma! O Lord gOpAla - the wind that blows away the cloud of mAyA of the nature of three guNas – sattva, rajas, tamas! O Lord praised by this tyAgarAja!

Notes –
References –
3 – guNa maya – In some books this has been translated as an epithet of the Lord – Ocean of Virtues – Embodiment of virtues etc. In my opinion, it is not appropriate to describe the Lord as ‘guNa maya’ – it is not same as ‘saguNa’. Therefore, ‘guNa maya’ has been taken to qualify ‘mAya’. In this regard, the following verse from SrImad-bhagavad-gItA, Chapter 14 is relevant –
sattvam rajas-tama iti guNAH prakRti-sambhavAH
nibadhnanti mahA-bAhO dEhE dEhinam-avyayam 5
sattva, rajas and tamas – these gunAs, O might-armed, born of prakRti, bind fast in the body the indestructible embodied one. (gItA translations by Swami Swarupananda).
“Prakrti, Maya and Pradhana are approximate words (synonyms) and stress the material origin of life.” - Explanation of 'brahma sUtra' - 1.1.5.
Comments -
1 – kavagoni – There is some doubt about this usage. ‘kava’ means ‘pair’ – in that sense, ‘kavagoni’ could be interpreted as ‘because of dvandva – pairs of opposites’. However, ‘kavalugonu’ means ‘to take up or catch up the recitation of the vEda from another person without making a break’. In the latter sense, it could mean ‘without break’. The meaning derived in all the books is ‘always’, ‘constantly’, ‘without break’; accordingly the traditional meaning has been retained here also.
2 – gaNa nAthu sEya - In tamizh, it is called ‘piLLaiyAr piDikka kurangAnadu’.
