BADALIKA DIRA" (Ritigowla)
Oh Lord of the Universe! 85??? Rama! To get
refreshed pray, lay yourself down in the lotus of Tyágarája's
heart after cleansing it of impurities of sin. Moved by
compassion at the distress of Brahma, you took your birth
in the Solar race, went to the forest with Siti, killed
Maricha in the form of deer, conquered the wicked
Rakshasa, Ravana, gave Lanka to Vibhishana of firm faith
and afforded protection to the gods.
=====================

BAGAYANAYYA" (Chandraiyóti)
Oh, this is wonderful! How great is your magic ? Is it
possible even for Brahim to praise it? This magic, yourself
doing and at the same time proclaiming that you are not
doing it, is wonderful. In the past when Arjuna trembled to
carry out your command to destroy the Kauravas, charact-
erising it as a sin, did you not similarly teach him that the
effect of sin could not touch you or him and did you not
thus protect him ?
===============================================

BALAMU KULAMU" (5?06?)
What is the use of mere bodily strength and high birth ?
As the inevitable result of Rama Bhakti, a man natuarlly
acquires all siddhis.
Crows and fish always dive into water: Can it be taken
as sacred morning ablution ?
Cranes keep their eyes shut. Is it divine meditation ?
Goats feed on patra (sacred leaves, Tulasi ete.) Is it
indicative of devout fast?
Birds soar high: Can they compare with the Sun and
‘the Moon?
If ordinary people in Sadhus’ garb happen to be in a
cave, can they be taken to ba really great sages ?
Can monkeys in the forest be taken as leading merito»
rious Vanavásam (hermit's life) ?
If beggars in the garb of Saivite devotees (Jangams) are
silent, can they bs taken as genuine Mounis?
If children go about uncovered, could they be taken as
Digambaras, Sadhus who have abandoned even clothing?
The devotion of the real Bhaktas of Sri Rama, the
saviour of Tyágarája, is acceptable to all people as a current
coin.

BANTU RITI” (Hamsanidam)
Pray, vouchsafe to me that I may serve you as a4 true
Bervant who has completely subjugated lust, arrogance,
haughtiness and other evil qualities. To such a servant the
following are the insignia i—
Haripulated hair is his armour; the appellation, Rama
Bhakta, is the metal badge of his livery; Rama Namam is
is his sword.
===================================
276
BHAJANA PARULA KELA” (Suruti)
Oh Mind! Where is the need for fear of Yama for
real devotees of Rama who apportions their respective
Positions to Brahma, Siva and Indra, of Rama worship-
ped by Tyagar4ja, the servant of the Lord who protected
the elephant, and for those desireless souls who are able
to visualise in the lotus of their hearts the Lord who fills
the numberless worlds and pine in worshipping him with
unbounded love ?
==============================================
145
BHAJANA SEYA RADA” — (At&na)
Oh! Mind! Why can you not make Ráma Bhajana
which is the great mantra constantly meditated upon by
Brahma, Rudra and other Gods? Thinking always in the
mind the smiling face of Sri Rama adorned with golden
cloth, shining with ruby-hued lips, beautiful white teeth and glossy cheeke; why can you not listen to the appeal of
Ty&garija to make Rima Bhajana with the redeeming
Rama Nama, which will enable you to cross the ocean
of Samsara.
==========================================
192
“BHAJANA SEYAVE” (Kalyani)
Oh Mind! Do with due devotion Rama Bhajana which
is highly prized by Brahma, Rudra and all holy men. Having
acquired knowledge of Nada, Pranava, the seven Svaras,
Veda, Grammar, Puranas and the sixtyfour arts, and having
taken the human body which enables you to realize happi-
ness, why should you, without knowing the way to salva-
tion, indulge in vain disputes and discussions ?
============================================
192
BHAKTI BICCHA MIYYAVE" (Sankarabharanam)
Pray, give me the alms of the highest type of Bhakti
(Satvika) towards R&ma who is beyond even salvation,
Universal Sakti and the Trinity! Deceitful persons, accom-
plished in Puranas, Agamas, Süstras, Vedas, practising Japa
and preaching, are like corpses dressed in lace turban and
adorned with precious jewels.

BHAJARE RAGHUVEERAM” (Kalyilni)
Worship the hero of the Raghus. the king of kings who
has blessed Tyagaraja with boons; give up greed and
unworthy desires; do not indulge in slander of others;
and control your five senses, deeming worldly happiness
as nothing but poison. Understand that all things will
not serve your purpose, but go their own way,
knocking about hither and thither. Do not engage
yourself in other distracting work- Do not put on false
garbs to deceive Ihe world, like the proverbial tiger in
cow's skin. Abandon all mischievous pursuits. Let the
crossing of the ocean of Samsara be your sole aim. Take
delight in doing good deeds. Surrender all your actions to
the Lord. Join the company of true devotees and learn
the path of devotion. Flave always in your mind Sri Rama,
who is free from Maya» and worship him. Subjugate lust
and other inner enemies and achieve your purpose.
=======================
159
BHAKTUNI CHARITRAMU" (Bégada)
Oh Mind! Listen to the good conduct of a devotee of
Sitáràáma, who without attachment to sense-pleasures, seeks
him, becomes a jivanmukta and enjoys supreme bliss.
He (the Bhakta) should not boast of having done japa
and tapas; he should not behave and speak with a
hypocrite's mentality ; he should not wander about with the
ambition that there should be no equal to him; he should
not be fickle-minded and be deluded by his attachment
to wife and children; he should not regard worldly
prosperity as real; he should not entertain any differential
attitude between Siva and Vishnu; he should not earn a
living by posing that he is the only honest and qualified
man in the world; he should not allow himself to be
unmindful of the blessed feet of Sri Rama, the prop of
Anjaneya ; he should not allow himself to be swayed by
Rajasic and Tamasic qualities; he should not expect His
grace without earning and deserving it; he should not
give up his attempts to prepare his mind for the path of
Raja Yoga; he should never forget Sri Rama-the Raja
Sikhamani.

BHAVANUTA " (Mohanam)
Oh Sri Rama, adored by Siva! Cheer up my heart to
relieve me of my fatigue !
Oh Redeemer, adored by Brahma! Cheer me up by
fulfilling your oft repeated assurance of protection !
Oh beloved of Anjaneya! Cheer me up to remove the
fatigue of my*having wandered in quest of you!
Oh Lord! Cheer me up to remove the mental agony
(caused by your sudden disapperance) after having come
to my house!
Oh Sri Rama! Cheer me up to remove the feeling of
mortification at not having been able to make suitable
offerings to you.
Oh Lord! Cheer me up to give relief to my mind
which had compromised itself much to suit the surrounding
conditions without running away from them.
Oh Lord ! Cheer me up by fulfilling my long - cherished
hope that you would protect me as proclaimed to the
world;

BHAVASANNUTA" ? (Varali)
How hard must have been my sin that you have not
been moved at all to protect me, in spite of my pitiable
condition caused by my failure to secure the long desired
personal contact with you. You are the destroyer of all
sins. You are the repository of mercy. Your foot has
turned a stone into a living woman, your arrow has saved
an Asura. But, for you not to drive away my sins, they
must have 9367 really hard. I wonder why you are not
roused by indignation when you see me thus subjected to
derison by men full of pride of youth. To whom
am I to complain of your indifferent attitude? I have not
run my life to waste. I have carefully discarded all those
factors of Samsara, which are detrimental to my practice
of devotion to you. Still that your compassion is not made
available to me must be due to my sins being hard.
=================================================

BHUVINI DASUDANE” (Sriranjani)
Have I uttered anything false in the great desire of
being your servant ?
ave Itaken to the bypaths, seeking men devoid of
knowledge ? Protect me,
Great weal or woe, I have not given way to grief: Well
treated or ill-treated by my compeers, I have held fast to
your blessed feet as my sole refuge:

BROCHUVAREVARE" (Sriranjani)
Who is there that will protect people with love like you?
Oh Raghupati! Lord oí the whole Universe, the best among
men !
Who would have, out of campassion, made a gift of
Lanka to Vibhishana and blessed him to the delight of
Devas as you did ?
Who would have killed Vali with one arrow and made
Sugriva the king ?
Who would have accompanied Viswümitra to see his
Yaga and killed there the cruel Rakshasas, like Máricha?
Who would have taken by the hand and protected
Tyágaràja who had been struggling, not knowing the
means by which to cross the ocean of Samsara ?
