Saadinchene O Manasa
A Tyagaraja Pancharatna Kriti in Telugu
I was listening to this beautiful Tyagaraja kriti in Balamurali Krishana’s impeccable Telugu. As I kept thinking and learning about the lyrics.. It seemed to be set in a playful teasing note with nuggets of Bhakthi and Vedanta..
In this post, I have tagged the easily recognizable Sanskrit phrases along with some key Telugu ones.
O mind! He is determined in tormenting..
The timely acts that he throws at his beloved folks..
Oh fountain of music and enchantment..
Isn’t it time to grace your Tyagaraja?
Sādhin̄cenē ō manasā
He did it O dear mind!
bōdhin̄cina sanmārga-vachanamula
He preached lofty words on leading a good path.. And yet, here he dubunked and tormented me with determination..
bōdhin̄cina sanmārga-vachanamula.. boṅku jēsi tā baṭṭinapaṭṭu
Ah.. He is there at every nook and corner. That timely spell of his. That timely talk of his..
Samayaniki taguvu maaTa laaDane
Did he not tease and sadden Devaki and Vasudeva by leaving them?
Ah.. That timely talk of his..
Samayaniki taguvu maaTa laaDa
O Connoisseur of music, unfolding the stage of life.. O fountainhead of music..
RangaseshuDu.. Ganga janukuDu.. sangeeta saamprAyukuDu
Ah.. That timely talk of his..
Samayaniki taguvu maaTa laaDa
O heartthrob of Gopi jana.. Did he not torment them by sliding away from them?
GopeeJana Manorathamo
Ah.. That timely talk of his..
Samayaniki taguvu maaTa laaDa
O Paramatma! Did you not make the women worship you .. O Hari! Did you not smile when Yashoda kissed you thinking you were hers?
Ah.. That timely talk of yours..
Samayaniki taguvu maaTa laaDa
O ocean of compassion.. O ocean of goodness.. I seek you in the lotus of my heart.. Will you not help me cross the mountain of kali baadha?
parama-bhakta-vatsala.. O apara-suguna..
O Hare! O Ramachandra!
O Raghukulesa! Lord of Raghu dynasty..
O Mrudu subhasha! Soft and sweet-spoken one..
O Sesha sayee! Sleeping on the serpentine twirl of the universe
O para naari sahodara! Protective brother to all the women
O aja! The one who cannot be born..
O raaja raaja nutha! Revered by the king of kings..
O lotus-eyed one..
I pray you take care of me..
O Sree Venkatesa! Lord Venkatesha
O Suprakasa! The illumined one..
O Sarvonnatha! Greatest of all..
O Sajjana Maanasa Nikethana! Home to the mind of great people..
O Kanakaambara Dharala: The golden coloured garbed one..
O Sanmakuta kundala Virajitha: One with beautiful earrings
O Hare!
This Tyagaraja sings in praise of Ramachandra, the king of mankind.
O Rama! He has immortalised and walked the path of a true sad-bhaktha..
sath-bhakthula natathal-itlanene amarika
Accept my intense pooja and do not be hurt and turn away..
ghana puja konene.. aluga vaddanene
He has preached not to join those who disbelieve you and I have abided.. Vimukula thonu chera pogumanene
He has preached to be patient
O Giver of restraint and happiness!
dama-sam-adhi sukhadaayakudagu
O The great one worshipped by Tyagaraja! Come and be close with me..
sree Thiagaraja nuthudu.. chentha ra rane
