Show Details		1. As the entreaty made by me could not be fulfilled, O Lotus Eyed! I became fatigued looking forward for Your arrival; O Protector of pious people! therefore , O Lord! atleast today once proceeding (from Your abode), deign to come to our house.

2. Getting up early morning, You would protect me by rendering advice about things which are conducive to merit; and I shall worship You everyday looking at Your charming face by standing near You.


3. Even after knowing that You are my refuge, You don’t seem to come quickly to protect me compassionately; (OR) You don’t seem to come quickly to protect me compassionately - who knows that You are my refuge; is it fair to forget now all about my being caught in Your hands? O Fortune of Thyagaraja!

Variations

  • 2tALa lErA – tALa lErA rAma
  • 3kOrina kOrke – kOrina kOrkulu
  • 5telisi – teliyu

Commentary

  • This Kriti forms part of dance-drama 'Prahlada Bhakti Vijayam'. In this Kriti, Prahalada entreats the Lord to come to his home.
  • 1iNTidAka – ‘dAka’ - means ‘upto’. However, in the present context, it means ‘to’.
  • 4tOTi – It seems this word has been derived from ‘tODa’ or ‘tODi’ or ‘tODu’. In the present context, in view of the preceding word ‘puNyamu’, it means ‘aiding’ ‘helping’ etc. It has accordingly been translated as ‘conducive to merit’.
