Bhakta Prahlada’s Rajan Maharajane Lyrics Translation
The verses describe the woman faltering as she approaches her sovereign. She states that the anguish of their separation is so great she is melting away. Her physical weakness comes directly from her deep yearning for the king.

The song illustrates a complete emotional surrender to a beloved figure. The woman’s initial request becomes a description of her body failing from the force of her devotion. This creates a focused account of viraha, the distinct pain of separation in love.
