This song is composed in the mayamalagowla raagam. This ragam is one of the basic ragas. Early lessons (sarali varisai, etc.) are set in this rAga, according to a tradition established by Purandara DAsa. It is a melakrtha ragam which means that it is not derived from any other ragam. 

Some film songs based on this ragam are:

kaNNin maNiyE (manadil urudi vEnDum)
kuyilappuDicu kUndiladaithu (cinna tambi)
madura marikkolundu vAsam (enga Uru pAttukkaran)
masaru ponnE varuga (dEvar magan)

This raagam has the same name in the Dikshitar (asampUrna mela) system

Pallavi:

Deva Deva Kalayamithe Charanambuja Sevanam 

Anupallavi:

Bhuvana Trya Naayaka Bhuri Karunayaa Mama

Bhavathaapam Akhilam Vaaraya  Ramaakantha 

Charanam:

Jaata Rupa Nibha Chela  Janmaarjitha Mamaakhila

Pataka Sanchaya miha Vaaraya Karunaya

Dithijaali Vidhalana Deenabandho Maamava

Sritha Vibhudha Chaala Sri Padmanaabha Shoure

Meaning: From TK Govinda Rao’s Book

Pallavi: Oh Lord (“deva”) of the celestials (“deva”)! I pay obeisance (“sevanam”) at your lotus-like (“ambuja”) feet (“charana”).

Anupallavi: Oh sovereign (“naayakaa”) of the three (“traya”) worlds (“bhuvana”)!

Please do obliterate (“vaaraya”)  all (“aakhilam”) the miseries (“taapa”) of this worldly life (“bhava”) by your infinite (“bhuri”) compassion (“karunayaa”).

Oh Ramaakaantha – the husband (“Kaantha”) of Lakshmi (“Ramaa”) !

Charanam: You (“chela”) are adorned (“nibha”) with a golden raiment (“Jaata”).
Please obliterate (“akhila”) the sins (“paataka”) I have accumulated (“arjitha”) in my previous births (“janma”) you your grace. You vanquished (“vidhalana”) the clan of demons (“dithi-jaali”). You are the refuge (“bandho”) for the dejected ones (“dheena”) and the celestials (“sritha vibudha”). Please protect me (“maamava”). Oh Lord Padmanabha Saure!
