Meaning (from PCM Book 1)

O Ramachandra, you are the beacon of your dynasty, Raghuvamsha. You watch over the devas and give delight to Sita. You vanquished Ravana and you fulfil the desires of your devotees. Lord, please protect me.

Pedagogical Note

Kambhoji is a hexatonic raga (sampoorna-shadava) — it uses all 7 notes in the descent but omits N₂ in the ascent. One of the most important ragas in Carnatic music.
