Viswaprakasunaku veliaeda lonaeda

 Pallavi:           Viswaprakaasunaku  veli eada loneada,  saswathunakoohimpa Janmamikaneada

Where is the" in and out" for the one who illuminates the entire universe.                                                 Is it possible to imagine the birth of the one, who is eternally permanent ?

Charanam:1.          Sarva paripoornunaku sancharamikaneada, nirvaaNa moorthyki  Nilayamikaneada

                               Vurveedharunaku kaalooDa nokachoteda,  Paarvathee sthuthunaku bhavamikaneada.

Why any motion, for an encompassing  comprehensive entity.  Why any particular place , for an all pervading figure.?    Where is any place left, to keep the foot?  for him, who holds the entire world?.

What is there left to think? for the one prayed by Devi Parvati , Lord Siva's better half.

Charanam:2.          Nanaprabhavunaku nadumeada. MoDaleada, Anana sahasrunakunu avvalivaleda

                               Mouni hruDayasthunaku maateada Palukeada, gnaanaswaroopunaku  kaana vinaneada

Is there any middle or beginning for an Omnipresent?  Is there any direction for the thousand faced  one?   Is there any need to speak or verse, for an  Omnisilent  one?. The Omnipresent , Omnidirectional, Omni silent , Almighty communicates through mind only.  So, that is ever existing

"Universal Mind" Narayanaya  only,  no doubt in it.

Charanam:3.    Parama  yogeendrunaku  paruleda thaaneda,  Duritha doorunaku sumsthuthi ninDaleda

                        Thiruvenkateswarunaku. Divya vigrahameda, Hariki NaarayaNunaku  avugaamuleada

For that great Yogi, all are equal. For that sinfree absolute purity,  a praise and curse are equal.

Is there any specific figure for the Supreme Devine, Thiru Venkatesa ?

Is there " yes or nos" to Sree Hari, who is the Omnipresent Narayanaya ?

Is there any thing impossible to Sree Hari?

Here, in this song, Annamayya  explains all characteristics  of "SreemaNnarayana."

Narayanaya is everywher.  It is  Narayanaya only, called Sree Hari or Sree Venkatesa.  The Lord  of the universal  Devine field of  Illumination, which has no middle or end, motionless,  communicates through Mind,, spread infinitely all directions, with encyclopaedic knowledge, Supreme  Consciousness , eternally  existing,  enveloping the  entire universe is nothing but That NaarayaNa, Hari , or Sree Venkateswara. Says Annamayya. 

This song is the summary of "Kshetra Kshetragna vibhaga yoga"

                                       Om namo Venkatesa 

Akati veLala alapaina vaeLala

Pallavi:            AkativeLala alapeina veLalanu, thekuva Hari namamea dikku mari leDu

When one is hungry or tired, only taking the name of Sree Hari is the way of rescue.

Charanam:1.       Koramalii unnaveLa kulamu chedinaveLa, cheravadi orulache chikkina veLa

                           Orapaina Hari Namamokkate gathigaakaa, marachi thappina neina marileDu theragu

When one is jobless, or thrown out of the caste, or caught in the hands of enemies and jailed, it is only and only the name of Sree Hari , the way of rescue.  There is no alternate solution, even by mistake, if forgotten the name of Hari.  So, hurry up. Take the name of Hari, all problems will be solved.

Charanam:2.       ApaDa vachchina veLa, Aradipadina veLa, paapapu veLala, bhayapadina veLa

                           Opinantha Hari namamokkate gatigaakaa, maapuDaaka poralina marilaeDu theragu

When one is in troubles, or in miserable times, or in sinful times, or in scary times, it is only and only, the name of Sree Hari, the way of rescue. There is no alternate solution , even if waited till tomorrow. So, hurry up. It is

only Sree Hari, who will save anyone , from these times of problems.

Charanam :3.          Sankelabettina veLa, champabilichina veLa, ankiliga nappulavaaraagina veLa

                                Venkatesu naamame vidipincha gathigaakaa,  mankubuddhi poralina marilaeDu 

theragu.

When one is hand cuffed, or centenced to death, or the  loan recoverers stand at the main door, it is only and only Hari's name, that can rescue by freeing. There is no alternate solution , if one remains stupid.  So, hurry up. Take Hari's name, get out of all problems.

In this song, Annamayya preaches the greatness remembering Sree Hari's name.

Annamayya , authentically  says " Beleave Hari, releave problems"

                                 Om Namo Venkatesaya 

Ithanikante ghanulikalaeru

Pallavi:         Ithanikante ghanulikaleru, ithara.  Devathala imdarilona

Nobody is greater than Sree Hari, Lord Sree. Hari is the  Supreme, even among all Devatas,

Charanam1:    Bhupathi eethade poDigi koluvaro , Srepathi eethade chekonaro

                       Aepuna baluvudu neethade chaeraroo, paipai Venkata pathieinadu

Sree Hari is Lord of the world, worship him. Sree Hari is, Lord of Sree Maha Lakshmi , pray him.  The tall, mighty, Lord is present here, as Lord Sree Venkateswara. Reach him.

Charanam2:        Marugurudithade  mathi nammagadaro,  paramaathmudithade. bhavincharoo

                           Karivaradudithadae gathiyani thalacharoo, Paraga Sree Venkatapathi ainaadu

Lord Sree Hari is the teacher, guide dwelling inside you, believe him in your Mind.

He is only, Paramatma ( the all pervading Supreme Devine ),  imagine him.

He is the one who blessed Gajendra, ( the elephant, who was an ordent Bhakt of Sree Hari, caught by a crocodile , saved by Sree Hari, ), think him as your ultimate goal.  

Now, he  resides as Sree Venkatapathi on seven hills.

Charanam3:             Thalliu nithade, thandriu nithade, vellivirei ika viduvakuroo

                               Challaga neethani saraNani brathukaroo, Alla Sree Venkata Hari. einaadu

Lord Sree. Hari  is mother and father to all.

Live coolly , taking shelter in him. See, there , He became Sree Venkata Hari.

Annamayya  wants to say that Sree Hari is taken the form Sree Venkatesa , and settled on seven hills. 

That's why he is called the Lord of all seven hills, "Venkatagiripathi".

                                        Om Namo Venkatesaya 

Kolani. Dopariki gobbiLLo

Pallavi:           Kolani dopariki gobbiLLo. Yadukula saamiki gobbiLLo.

GobbiLLu" is a kind of dance. Usually, ladies do this dance.  A God's  idol  is kept over a colourful pattern drawn on the clean ground.  Over that idol, they place flowers of pumpkin and other colourful flowers.  This entire arrangement is called "Gobbii."  Beautifully decorated Ladies of all age groups, dance circularly around that " gobbi", singing songs with claps. This dance form of claps'song is 

Called" Gobbi dance."

Lord Sree Krishna  was  the. Chief of Yadavas.  ( Yadavas were all Cowmen. )

Sree Venkatesa  stays besides of Big Water Reserve  ( kolanu ) present on the hill Thirumala.   That's why, he is called  " kolani dopari ".  Sree Venkateswara is none else than Lord Sree Krishna. Hence, in pallavi, Annamayya praises both of them, with clapping song. 

Charanam1:           Konda goduguga govula gaachina, kondoka sisuvuku gobbiLlo

                            Dundagampu deithyulakellanu thala Gundu gandaniki gobbiLlo

Hay! claps to that Godly Child, who lifted a hill to save the cows, claps to the terror of the natorious

demons, Lord Sree Krishna.

Charanam:2.           Papa vidhula Sisupaaluni thittula, kopaganikini GobbiLLo

                               Aepuna Kamsuni  idumulabettina Gopabaaluniki GobbiLLo

Hay! Claps to the Anree Krishna , who was cursed hundred times by the sinful Sisupala.

Hay! Claps to the Child Krishna, who put Gaint kamsaa, into lots of troubles.

Charanam3:            Dandi veirulanu tharimina danujula, gunde digulunaku gobbiLLo

                                 Vendi peidiyagu Venkatagiripei, Kondalayyakunu gobbiLLoo

Hay! Claps to the heart depression of the demons, Sree Venkatesa ,  by whom they were driven out, and killed.  Hay ! Claps to the Lord of seven hills, Sree Venkatesa , who stays on the Silver, gold reserves' hill, Venkatagiri.  

In this song, Annamayya  praises all miracles, all wondering deeds, of Sree krishnas!'  Childhood.

It is Sree Krishna only,  called as Venkatesa in Kaliyuga.  In his childhood , Sree Krishna killed many 

Rakshasas. Few of them wereKansa,, Sisupala, Mustikasura, chaNura, Sakatasura and Poothana.

In this song, Annamayya emphasises the popular dance form of those days, "Enthralling Gobbi dance."

                                                Om Namo Venkatesaya. 

Ettivarikinella nittl karmamulu

Pallavi:             Ettivarikinella nitty karmamulu, ma ittivarikininka aemi dovayya??

When people of great stature cannot escape the results of their bad actions (bad Karmas)' , what way, people of my stature can go.??

 Charanam1:          Pamu champinayatti  paathakamuna, pedda Paamu meeda neeku  pavalinchavalase

                           Komalini champina  korathavalla. nokka komalini  edapettukoniunda valasae

Because of killing the gaint cobra Kalindi, in Krishnavatar,  you are destined to sleep on a cobra  bed.   Because of killing a  rakshacii Puthana, in Krishnavatar, you are destined to bear a lady (Sree Mahalakshmi) in your heart for ever.   So, the law of "universal Dharma", is  " you have to reap what you do." 

According to Hindu dharma, one should not kill a snake, and a lady (female )".  Killing a snake or a female , is considered as a sin. Who so ever does this sin , has to face the  penalty inevitably.  Even Devine.   No escape from this theory of Karma( action).

Charanam 2:           Bandiviracheenatti pathakamunaa , pedda bandi booidavei panicheyavalase 

                          Konda verikinatti gunamuna thirumala , kondameeda neeku koochundavalase

 

  Because of breaking a cart in Sree krishnavatar, You are destined to drive the chariot of Arjuna, in the war at Kurukshetra.  Because of lifting a hill, forcibly , in Krishnavatar, you are destined to sit on the hill Thirumala.  

In Sree krishnavatar, a demon comes in the form of a cart, chages the child Krishna, intending to kill him.

But , Lord  knows the  conspiracy of the rakshasa. Hence, tactfully kills that Sakatasura. 

When Sree Krishna was picnicking with his friends and  ladies, all of a sudden rain downpours. Inorder to save them from drenching, Lord lifts the nearby hill, with his little finger and gives shelter to all his folk. Breaking the cart was done to save the people from that demon, Sakatasur., Lifting the hill was also done to save Nandas.; though both actions are done for the general welfare , the effect of karma was destined to Krishna because, he did that..  

Action and  effect, ( karma & Karmaphal ) is an unescapable phynominon of the universe.

In this song, Annamayya selected all anecdotes from SreeKrishnavatar to expound the great Karma siddhanth. It is the Lord of Kaliyuga , Sree Venkatapathi only , incarnated as Krishna in Krutayuga. Both are the avataras of Sree Hari  only. We all know this.  What Annamayya says is,  when even Gods are not exempted from this " universal law of Karma" , where an ordinary mortal- human stands??.

".Beware of your actions,"  is the message of Annamayya.

                        Om Namo Venkatesaya 

Note:     This song is available in Ttd published cd, "Annamayya Bhava lahari," sung & composed by Lakshmi murty.

Chanting the name of sree Maha Vishnu ,  ( Sree Maha Lakshmi's husband) with dedication, 

is the medicine  for worldly or non worldly things.  Taking refuge in  the wealthy Lord,  Sree Venkatesa , is a regular daily medicine  for everyone of us.

In this song, Sree Annamayya  advices, everybody to take  shelter in Sree Venkatesa , inorder to  live a peaceful. life.  He says, chanting Sree Hari's name, works out as a great madicine, curing all worldly problems while enhancing the spiritual qualities . Anything in anybody 's life, either worldly or non-worldly, spiritual or non-spiritual, can be settled by worshiping Lord Sree Venkatesa.  Chanting.

Chanam3:          Puttugu neeve Purushottama, Kona nattanadumu neeve Narayana
