Tyagaraja Yoga Vaibhavam Lyrics Explained

[Raghuram Srinivasan]

Hi,
I got the lyrics from a site for the song "Tyaga Yoga
Vaibhavam"...could anyone provide an outline for the meaning of the
lyrics?
Another small question, in "Hecharikaga" by Sri Tyagaraja what does
the word Hechariakaga mean?
Since I cannot send attachments, I am pasting the lyrics.

Thanks,

--Raghu.

index in both Devanagari and Roman scripts, glossary of common words,

[shishya]

The word hecharika literally means warning.In this context it might
mean grandeur (somewhat like what you hear in hindi movies they say
'savdhan' before a king enters the court).

Lyric
Pallavi:
Thyagaraja yoga vaibhavam sadasivam sri
thyagaraja yoga vaibhavam sadasrayami
thyagaraja yoga vaibhavam agarajayoga vaibhavam
rajayoga vaibhavam yoga vaibhavam vaibhavam bhavam vam

Samashti charanam:
Nagaraja vinuta padam nada bindu kalaspadam
yogiraja vidhita padam yugapad bhoga moksha pradam
yogarooda namarupa viswa srishtyaadi karanam
yugaparivrutyaabtamaasa dinaghatikaadyaavaranam
Sri guruguha gurum sachidananda bhairaveesam
sivasakthyaadi sakala tatva swarupa prakasam
sam prakasam swarupa prakasam tatvaswarupa
prakasam sakala tatva swaupa prakasam
sivasakthyaadi sakala tatva swarupa prakasam

Meaning
Address to Lord Thyagaraja (Lord Siva in Tiruvarur)
I always take abode in Sadasivam, who is Thyagaraja in yogic state, is
the water (vam - essential for life), is the World (bhavam), is
glorious (vaibhavam), possesses yogic power (yoga vaibhavam),
practices Raja Yoga (rajayoga vaibhavam), and makes King of mountains
blessed (agaraja yoga vaibhavam; Himavan - by marrying his daughter
Parvati).

King of Snakes (Vasuki) prays His feet. He is the basis for Nada,
Bindu, and Kala. Great Yogis know magnificience of His feet. He gives
earthly pleasure and liberation simultaneously. He is the reason for
the creation, sustenance, and dissolution of the Universe which is
result of the union of chit (intelligent) and achit (un-intelligent).
He pervades in time starting from the yuga, year, month, day, ghati
(24 minutes), and now.

He is guru to Lord Muruga. He is the consort of Parvati (Bhairavi) who
has the form of Truth, Intelligence, and Bliss. He is tranquil (sam),
effulgent (prakasam), knower of the Self (swarupa praksam), the
teacher of the nature of philosophical truth (tatvaswarupa praksam),
known by all the different religions (sakala tatvaswarupa prakasam),
and in the form of Siva and Sakthi (potential energy and active power)
which is the basis of every thing.
