My good fortune has become mockery for all, O Lord of celestials! How shall I tolerate anymore? 2. What benefit did you derive by deceiving me? I trusted in you alone totally; You are my protection. 3. I am (keeping myself) suitable for Your grace; my words are true; O Lord Rama abiding in Ayodhya! please protect me this moment. 4. O Lord! There are no protectors for me in the Earth; if You forget or are surprised (at my plea), what is the way out for me? 5. What is the use of this birth? why anyone else for me? O Lotus Eyed! Is it good for Your grace not to descend on me? 6. If my heart becomes cool, my happiness is Yours; if You become very gracious, it is indeed comfort for me; You please govern me. 7. I did not desire even a single thing for myself; O Supreme Lord! why wouldn’t You condescend to tell me that whatever I desired are all for You (Your worship)? 8. Whether it is milk or water, I assumed that it is meant for You alone; I have firmed up in my mind that You are the final nice Lord. 9. I desired for You; and, I shall not leave You even for a minute; if You remain without governing me by uniting with me, I shall swear by Your honour. 10. Is it possible to find a better person than You with such a peerless majesty? O Friend of this Thyagaraja! Why this unconcern? |
[edit] Variations
- 3dEvatanukoNTi – dEva kanukoNTi : dEvatanukoNTi - seems to be appropriate.
[edit] References
- 1OGkAra dhAma – Please refer to Sri Thyagaraja’s Kriti ‘jagadAnanda kAraka’ where he describes the Lord as ‘OMkAra paJjara kIrA’ – ‘the parrot singing in the cage called OMkAra’. The following Pathanjali Yoga Sutra is relevant –
- tasya vAcaka: praNav: || I.27) ||
- “The word which express Him is OM.” (Translation by Swami Prabhavananda)
[edit] Commentary
- 2mElu – good fortune – In view of the pleadings in the subsequent Charanams, it is not clear whether this word has been used in real sense or as a sarcasm.
