Eethade Harudu, eethade Yajudu

Pallavi:
                  EethadeHarudu,eethade Yajudu,                                                             eethaniki  neechethalentha ghanamatugaana 

This is lord Siva, this is Brahma,; If we see these actions, how great they look??. This is both, the creator  and  also the destructor;  hence, how great He  must have been ??

CharaNam1:        Kadu pekku brahmaanda katakamulu sudivadina
                               Kadupulo nidukonna ghanudu
                                Vedali puthaki chanti vishamu thaaginayantha
                                  Vadi thanaku nemaye  vatti boomelu gaaka

The grest Supremo, holding lokas like Anda, Pinda, Brahmaanda etc  in the twister like stomach, drank the poisonous milk from the devil  Poothana, as a Child Krishna. Did any harm happend to Him?? Everything  was a farse.

In this charaNam, Annamayya refers to Sree Krishnaavatar.
When Krishna was a child, a devil, Poothana, disguised as a beauticul lady, 
comes to kill him. But, lord, knower of everything  recognises the conspiracy,
kills Poothana by sucking the chest, violently. 

Charanam2:             EllajalaDulu  migili   aekamei  pabbinapudu
                                   Ullasilluchu  neethadundu
                                      Mallaadi  oka  rendu maDdulu  virachinatti
                                        BalliDudavani  ninnu  pariNaminthurugaana

This great Supreme enthralls, when all oceans face Sunamy and mix as one.
This much intencity of an event, can alone give Him  euphoric joy.
When this is the case, where does the joy of breaking  after all two trees, by
Crawlling between them stands????
When Krishna was a child, YasoDa, his mother ties him to a tree,  as a punishment  to His unbearable naughtyness. Lord, by crawlling himself  breaks the trees. Then from ,Krishna was titled as" Balla". 

CharaNam3:                 Thiru  venkateswarudu,  DevaDevottamudu
                                        Paripoornudachyuthudu Abhavudu
                                         SaraNaagathula  raksha seuvaadanumaata
                                            Guruthugaa  thalapoci  koniyaadavalase

The Great Venkatesa  is the God of Gods.  He is  the Comprehensive, the  indestructible,  the birthless, the Rescuer of refugees. Remembering all these titles, we must praise Him.
Annamayya explains the range of Lord's Happyness.
His acts are all of cosmic levels. When a child, Krishna did so many miraculous deeds, what could be of the grown up Krishna???. For YasoDa may be Krishna was a child, but  truth is, that, He was Personified  Supreme Self, Lord of Lords,and all powerful Almighty.. Annamayya emphasyses this great fact, in this song.

                 Om namo Venkatesa

ANureNu paripoornameina rupam

Pallavi:     ANureNu paripoornameina rupam,
                    ANimaaDi  siri  AnjanaaDri meeDi  rupam
A Figure,  completely compressable to a small atom,  is there on AnjanaDri, where AstaLakshmi  stay. Asta Lakshmi are different forms of Sree  Maha Lakshmi, designated according to their concerned powers.
Asta Lakshmi:  Dhana Lakshmi, Dhanya Lakshmi, Veera Lakshmi, SantAna Lakshmi, VidyA Lakshmi, Bhagya Lakshmi, Vara Lakshmi, Jaya Lakshmi are eight forms of sree maha Lakshmi.
CharaNam:1    VeDantha Vetthalellaa veDiketi Rupamu,
                            ADinanthyamuleni aa rupamu 
                              PaaDuka yogeendrulu  bhaavinchu rupamu,
                                eeDesa nidivo konetiDari rupamu.  
That  figure, which all  great phylosophers search for, which has no beginning or end,; a figure, on which PaaDuka yogies  meditate, is present, here, this side, near the  holyPond.  
CharaNam2: 
                      Paalajalanidhilona  pavaLinche rupamu,
                         kaalapu surya chandragni gala rupamu 
                             Melimi veikuntthaana meracina rupamu,
                                keeileinaDiDe  Seshagiri meeDa rupamu.  
A Figure that  sleeps in the milky ocean, who has the time desiding Sun and Moon along with fire,  who cintillates the Veikunttha, is this  prime figure, on Seshagiri , i.e.sree maha Vishnu. 
CharaNam3:                                                                                                                                 
                   Munchina brahmaaDulaku   moolameina rupamu,      ,
                     KOnchani marraakumeeDi  kona rupamu k
                        Manchi  parabrahmamei  mamunelina rupamu,
                           Enchaga  sri venkataDriniDe rupamu. 
A Figure, which can cause the collapsing of brahmas and other entities, a figure on a. small Pepal leaf,  a figure which  rules us as great Parabrahma,  is the same figure  present on sree VenkatDri, ie Lord Venkatesa.    

Here, in this song, sri Annamayya mentions some asrophisical  events, for which Lord Venkatesa  is the cause and controller.
In the last charaNam, Annamayya says, the Parabrahma Venkatesa dissolves the Brahma and other celestial  entities when their power deteriorates.
Here, one special word is used to explain such a great phenomenon, i.e. "MUNCHINA." THIS simple word" Munchina" speaks about a big celestial  event, "Collapsing of the universe ", or “Compression of Celestial configerations into a Small Atom”.
The word “Munchina “ means Dippinng or Collapsing or Destruction.
Dipping into one point, or( into the small space) ,  the Brahma, along with other celestial entities compressing compactly,  causing unimaginable dencity of "mass converted energies"  ,  is  the Act of " Parabrahmam". At the same time, That Point of “Supreme Power” is also, Parabrahma only.

This is why, in pallavi, Annamayya says,  Parabrahma can even accommodate  in a smallest particle, an Atom. (ANu, ParamaaNu ) or a Molicule.

Great spiritual souls say, to do meditation on a single point with devotion.
That is " single point devotion". This One point contemplation resembles the meditation on “Parabrahma “.

The lord is present there on AnjanaaDri,  Seshadri, and Venkataadri , as Asta Lakshmi,  as Sri maha Vishnu,  and  as   Sree Venkatesa the Parabrahma. Names are different but presence is of the same, that of Parabrahmam.  
Annamayya says in one song ""Brahmamokkate, Parabrahmamokkate".  
This song content too speaks the the same Austro physical concepts which are mentioned in this song, “ Brahmamokkate Parabrahmamokkate”.
