Paramapurushudu

Pallavi:          ParMapurushudu   GopAlabAludeinadu
                       Muraharudu  eDuta  muDdugaareeniDivo

The Supreme Self  has incarnated as GopAla, here is the child GopAlakrishna.
The one who killed the Mura, is here, prsent straight to you,  the kissable BAla GopAla.

CharaNam1:         .   VeDapurANamulalo  Viharinche  Devudu
                                    ADimoolameinatti   alaBrahmamu
                                     Sree Devi pAlita  chelage  niDhanamu
            . .                        SeDadeeri  yasoDaku  sisuvaaya niDivo

The God, praised in VeDas and  scriptures; the first origin of that Brahma;
The wealth repository of Sree Devi; has became the infant to Ma YasoDa. He is here only.

CharaNam2:                Mokketi NaraDADula  munDari  SAkAramu
                                       Akkajapu  jeevulalo  AntharyAmi
                                        Gakkana  Brahma  kodukuga  kanna Paramamu
                                         Akkaratho  venna muchchei  AtalAdi niDivo

Gopala is the form which NaaraDa and other devotees worship, Gopala is the Devine form
present in the living beings, Gopala is the form which has given birth to Brahma,  and  the form which is playing with butter.

CharaNam3:  ...              Devathala  gAchutaku  Dikkeina  Vishnudu
                                          Bhaavamulu  okkarupeina  bhava thathvamu
                                           Sree VenkatADri meeDA  Cheriunna  AvaraDudu
                                             Keivasamei  gollethala   kowgiLla niDivo

Gopala is the only resort which can save
the Devataas from any crisis.   The single
Mind that guides all minds,  the wish fulfiller  residing on Venkatadri, once who was in the hands of sheapherd women.
   
What a wonder!!!  The ultimate Purusha
has become the small child Gopala???
Here, in this song, Annamayya explains the Child form , the presence of" the Supreme being Hari" very circastically.  

Om  Nano venkatesaya

Hay girls!! Go , and pet the Child Krishna. He is standing infront of the house,  the kissable, lovable Krishna. Go, and pamper Him.

CharaNam1:                  Vekuvajaamuna lechi  veduka Krishnudu  thalli
                                        Akalayyenanuchu  voyyana  manchamudigi
                                         Kaakalatho  vaci vAdi  kannulu pulumukonta
                                           Yekaruchu  nunnavAdu  ettukore  biddani

The Krishna woke up early in the morning, got down from the cot, while rubbing his eyes, went his mother, YasoDa, crying He is hungry. He is craving for food. Please take Him into hands, and console Him. Lord child Krishna is in front of the house, He is very cute looking.


CharaNam:                      BAlulatho  vooranella  paruvulu  vetti  vetti
                                          Chalukoni  Adi Adi jaamekkaga vachchi
                                            KeluchAchi vennadigi  kinDupadee anthalo
                                              Belulei  undaganela  pettare. biddaniki

The child Krishna, played here and there , running entire village, returned home, asked His mother Butter, stretching His hand. But He lost balance, fell down. Please, give Him butter, without hesitation.  The cute Child Krishna is standing infront of the house. Please console Him.

ChraNam:3.                      Mattamadhyannapu veLa  malayuchu  imtilone
                                            Chattulaperugu  vedi  chAlabettare  meeru
                                              Pattapu Sree Venkatadripi  keelukoneniDe

Narayanudeethadu

Pallavi:            NArAyaNudeethady narulAlA,  meeru saraNanaro Jimmu  gAcheeni

Hay guys!! This Venkatesa  is  nonelse  than NarayANa. Take shelter in him, He will surely rescue you..

CharaNam:1.              Thlachina chotane thane unnadu
                                       Valenanuvari Keivasamepudu
                                       Kolachenu Moodadugula JagamellAnu
                                         Kolichina vArini chekonakunduna

Wherever  one thinks, there, He will be present.  He will be always in the hands of one, whosoever wants.  When He measured entire universe with three steps, wont  He take into his hands, those worship  him.
Here, " measuring three steps" refers to "VAmanAvatAr." When Hari incarnated as a short Brahmin , VAmana, He asked the emperor Bali, to donate him three feet land. Bali said yes. VAmana stretched one foot, measured entire globe. His Second foot covered the skys. Where to measure the third foot?.
Then, Bali bowed before Hari, asking to keep step on his head. That's it. Hari pushed Bali to Patel lok. When, Hari can stretch to thri lokas, is it a big thing for him to take his devotees into his rescue?.

CharaNam2:                     EkkadapilichinA  emanipalikii
                                            Mokkina  manninchu  munumuganu
                                             Rakkasula naNachi rakshimchu jagamulu
                                               Dikkani nammina  thiramugaa nelada

From wherever may you call, He responds asking " what "?
Grants anybody's wish when resiprocated by devotion.   He saves the Lokas,  by  killing the demons.
Won't He take care of  one, if believed with total faith?.


CharaNam3:                         Chuchinayandella Choopunu roopamu
                                                Ochika pogadina undu notanu
                                                  Aechina  sree Venkatesude ithadata
                                                     Chechetha poojimpa sevalugonada

Wherever one sees, there shows his presence. If praised, stays in the mouth itself.
This is Hari, in the form of Sree Venkatesa. Won't He accept the holy services done by these hands.

In this song, Annamayya clearly conforms,  that Sree Venkatesa is Truely the form of Narayan only.
NarayANa, the  ultimate Supreme Self is here before u. Only name changed. We call Him Venkatesa .
So, without doubt,  worship Sree Venkatesa , and  get his blessings. Only the thing, you have to do is
Praying. Rest all He will take care of.

Om Namo Venkatesaya

                                       SanthApamaNaginchu  sankeerthanam 
                                        Janthuvula  rakshinchu  sankeerthanam

                                           Samanyamaa  Vishnu sankeerthanam

The sankeerthana,  which is pleasing Brahma., The sankeerthana,  which uplifts the life. ,The sankeerthana, which  is near by to everybody.,Is that Vishnu sankeerthana so simple?

CharaNam3:                    Jamubaari vidipinchu  sankeertganam
                                            SamabuDdhi vodaminchu  sankeerthanam
                                              JamaLi  sowkhyamulichchu  sankeerthanam

                                                    Chalapatti    thalachudee  sankeerthanam 

The sankeerthana, which is Brahma' s mouthpiece,. The sankeerthana, which even
 Parvathi sings, The sankeerthana, which  chills anyone,

The sankeerthana, which gives wealth, has any  flaws  in this ?
Immediately sing this sankeerthanam, which is praising sree Venkatesa. 

Annamayya  asks everyone  to sing the sankeerthanam on VISHNU.
Sree Venkates,  who is similar to Vishnu, will bless his devotees with happyness, wealth, Peace of mind  and  enlightenment, if they  sing  sankeerthanam.
Venkateswara  is the Brahmam  only. Isn't  it enough, if one praises him by sankeerthanam. Singing  is such a great technique,  to reach the God.
