Charanam

 

1.Japathapamulutha jesithi nanaraathu adhi kakka mari

kapadathmudu manamai palkaraathu,

Upamadanukku lekayunda  vale nani  oorayura  thiruga ka raathu,

Chapala chithudai yalusu  thulapai  saregu parama kaaraatha ne hari

 

2.Bhava vibhavamu  nija mani yemcha karaathu adhikaramari

Shiva Madhava bhedha mucheyaka rathu

Bhuvanamanthu thane yoga yuda nani  pomki potta saaka rathu

Bhvanaath maja drudhamou Sithapathi pada mulanuye marathathu hari

 

3.Rajasa thamasa gunamulku karathu athikaakanusu

Vyaja munanu raaletha nakaaraa thu

Rajayoga margamu  nee chithamu  raja chooda vida vakaarathu

Raja shikamaniyai nathyaga Raja  sakuni mara varaathane Hari.

 

English translation

 

Pallavi

 

Oh mind Please hear the story of ,

The devotee of Sita Rama

Anupallavi

 

Giving away as much as he can,

And getting satisfied with what he has,

He gets the happiness of a soul getting salvation

 

 

Charanam

 

1.He does the chanting and meditation properly,

Does not have any deceit in his mind,

Does not go from place to place and say there is none like him,

Does not with a feeble mind get attached to home and wealth, Oh Hari

 

2.He would not think that what is happening is the truth,

Also he will not have differences between Vishnu and Shiva in his mind,

He does not spend time by telling he is the only respectable one

He never forgets devotion to the feet  caught hold by Hanuman, Oh Hari

 

3.He does not get the base and regal qualities at any time,

And thinks that everything comes to us due to Karma,

He keeps the method of Raja yoga in his mind and thinks of God,

And will never forget Rama who is the friend of Thyagaraja of Thiruvarur.
