EDARI SANCHARINTURÀ " (Kantámani)
Which path should I follow ? Pray, tell me! If 1 follow
the path that regards one's self as every thing it will be
hard for you. On the other hand, if 1 appeal to you for
protection as a Dása, You say that I am a Dvaitin.
===================================
498
EDIN] BAHUBALA " (Darbar)
Have not the troubles of the pious and the devout
reached your ears and set you indignant ? Should you not
in response to their piteous cries stop your YOganidra and
show them your face (to comfort them) ? Are you not aware
that low men have begun to indulge in unrighteous conduct ?
Oh Lord! It is enough! Stop the fearless depreda-
tions of these men. Your true devotees are panting to gee
you. The world has not seen your martial prowess in action
for long. Have not your shining bow and arrow become
hungry ? Have they not been blood-thirsty too long? Is
this a matter for disputation ? Do come soon.
======================
423
EDUTA NILICHITE " (Sankarabharanam)
If you come and stand before me, will you lose all your
wealth ? Is it possible for me to transgress my fate?
Should I, knowing this, (sit quiet and) be deceived ?
Why do you weigh the pros and cons? You must
know my situation. I cannot ask for boons. Consider my
prayer; This is the time to bless me: Icannot pray to
other gods. How isit that you do not know my mind ?
Why this wanton obduracy again and again ? This indif-
ference towards me cannot find a precedent in the annals
of your race, and Suras and Asuras will not applaud you
for itt Why this intractability on your part now ?
=========================================
48
EHI TRIJAGADISA" (SAranga)
Oh Lord of the three worlds ! Come and protect me !
Give me the hold of your hand ! O you adored by Agastya!
the bee in the lotus of the hearts of the devotees ! the gale
which blows away the evil people ! the destroyer of my
sins !
======================================
245
ELA DELIYALERÓ " (Darbaru)
Why do people not realise your greatness? What
Karma have they done in their previous births to be so?
You are adored by Lord Siva and you are the repository of all good qualities: In your tender age you broke sportingly
without effort the colossal bow of Siva in the presence of all
kings and jubiliantly won the hand of Lakshmi. You dest-
royed with but one arrow the fourteen thousand bell-metal
chariots and Rávana's reserve-forces as if in a play and
sent them all to Yamapuri. You are the lion to the elephants
of kings who, through Rájasa püja, got boons from Siva.
======================================
======================================
521
ELAVATARAM " (Mukhári)
For what purpose did you incarnate as Rima? Was it
to make war, Oh Rághava, or to rule over AyOdhy& ? Was
it to enable yogis to have your darsana, or to save people
who suffer from the disease of Samsâra? Was it to grant
boon to Ty&agarAja who had made for you a garland of gems of Kirtanas in various ragas ?
========================================
367
EMTANUCHU” (Yadukulek&mbhoji)
How long am 1 to bear this? The grace of Sri Rama
does not come. Won't you still have the mind to come to
me? lam really your servant, Do you consider my
appeals as mere pretensions? Am Ia stranger to you ?
Has all my penance become ineffective ? Can't you bless
me with divine knowledge ?
=========================================
229
EMANI MATADITIVO" (Todi)
Oh Rama! How wonderful was your power of winning
people by sweet words, suited exactly to the mental dispo-
sition of each, softly, sternly, sweetly— parents, women,
servants, kings, munis, the famous Ashta Dikpalak4s, Suras, Asuras, Moon, Sun,—so much so they felt bound to follow the words !
==============================================
282
ÉMANI POGADUDURA” (Viravasantam)
How can I praise you? Oh Rama the indweller of the
Universe! You have assigned Tamasa Guna to Siva, Rájasa
Guna to Brahma and made Indra haughty:
==============================================
559
EMANI VEGINTUNE " (Huséni)
Oh Rama! My beloved Lord has forsaken me. How
can I live and how long am Ito endure it? Has it struck
your mind as fair to forsake me after’ treating me so long
with endearing affection, embracing me often, and cheering
me up? The sweet words you administered to me and the
way in which you previously took me by the hand and rid
me of my troubles, have so infilled my heart that I have till
now considered myself unequalled.
=============================================
493
ÉMIDOVA BALKUMA " (Saranga)
Oh Sri Rama! Pray, tell me what way is there for me
to follow ? Where could I go? Had I been like Ramadas,
Sità Devi would have spurred you on to go to my succour.
When Rávana and his reserve forces were destroyed by
you, Trümürties were superbly praising you, while Lon the
other hand gave you only a faint praise, considering you to
be only a king's son. How can I, therefore, expect any kind
and considerate treatment at your hands ?
=====================================

EMIJÉSITENEMI"
TODI
Of what availis anything done by people who have
not been blessed with the Grace of Sri Rama and by people
who, being slaves to lust and other passions, are incapable
of knowing and understanding the sastraic commandments
of Sri Ráma ?
What if they have house, properties and loaded their
wives with jewels and what if they are adepts in sexual
science, if they have not the Grace of the lotus-eyed one?
What if they perform Yàgas, what if they beget sons to
inherit their property, what if they adopt others’ sons for
that purpose, if they have not the Grace of the auspicious
Sri Rama ?
What if they build palatial houses and fit them up with
rows of lights; what if they know the art of pleasing women,
if they fail to get the Grace of the incomparable Sri Rama?
What if they rule over kingdoms and command the
respect and regard of the public, what if they feed people
with rich and sumptuous meals, if they do not get the
Grace of the worshipful Sri Rama ?
What if they attain the status of Gurus, what if, for the
look, they appear grand and big, what if they initiate
others in mantras, if they are not blessed with the Grace of
Sri Rama ?

ENÀTI NOMU PHALAMO “ (Bhairavi)
Oh Primordeal one! Blessed Redeemer! Idonot know
as the result of what charity or sacred duty of mine, I am
privileged todo service to you, to have your close company
and your support and to worship you, keeping you in my
lap. I feel I have really become your property. I have thus
been enobled to enjoy real happiness. All my long cheri-
shed desires have been fulfilled.

ENDARO MAHANUBHAVULU” (Sri Ragam)
Great souls are indeed many> Salutations to them all!
Many are those who see in the lotus ol their hearts the
Lord of moon-face and exquisite beauty and proportion
and enjoy bliss.
1. Many are those who are foremost among the bles*
sed ones who have had the realisation of the Lord of
supreme beauty who delights in Saman music.
2. Many are those who have the blessedness of an
unerring Darsana of the glorious Swarupam of the Lord*
after seeking and finding Him in the deep forest of their
mind.
3. Many are those who unreservedly rush to offer the
lotus of their mind (Chittam) at the feet of the Lord.
4. Many are those who sing sincerely in choice langu¬
age the praise of the Supreme Lord, the redeemer of the
fallen* adhering to the true path and with knowledge of
Swara. Laya and RAga.

ENDUDAGI
(Todi)
Where has he hidden himself? When will he have the
mercy to go to me ? Oh mind! Why worry? As in the past,
the Lord must have hidden himself only for the purpose of
protecting his devotees. Did he not, in days of old, out of
supreme compassion, hide himself in a pillar for the sake
of protecting Prahlada who had been subjected by his
father, Hiranyakasipu to innumerable cruel torments? In
the same way he must have concealed himself now also.
But where ?
Did he not before, with similar solicitude, take his stand
unseen behind a palmyra tree to protect Sugriva who
had been brutally belaboured by Vali? In the same way
he must have concealed himself now also. Certainly, con-
cealment must be to destroy the six inward enemies, Kama,
Kródha etc., and to undo the evil consequences of my sins
in previous births as well as to protect true and firm
Bhaktas of the world including Tyagardj. But where cen
be his hiding place ?

ENDUKI CHALAMU (Sankaribharanam)
why are you cross? To whom am I to appeal? Which
lady dissuaded you? Did Kaulsalyà say anything ? Or, are
you yourself not willing? Did Ahaly&, beautiful. Sita,
Sabari or young Swayamprabhà say anything against me?
Could you not patronise me ? Where has your forbearance
gone? It is nol possible for me to bear this any longer.
======================================

ENDUKO BAGA TELIYADU” (Móhana)
Why is it that people of this kali age do not realise well
that this body is perishable? They build big houses with
stones, gather a number of attendants around themselves,
fill their stomachs and grow their own bodies, neglecting
their obligations to their relatives, quests and others and
gazing idly at hoarded wealth in bags and boxes.
Employing inequitous ways, they deprive other people
of their money for their own sustenance, run after women
like dogs, become a prey to several diseases and waste
their patrimony to the effect that people deride them, salva-
tion is lost and successive rebirths are certain:
Why is it that people, who are unable to bear the
trouble which they themselves have brought upon them by
associating with cheats, do not take itto be the result of
their past karma as wise rn do? Why do they not learn
to worship the Lord of the Universe, whom Ty&garaja
adores, discarding desires for material possessions, taking
Them to be impermanent like dew.
===========================================
371
ENTUKO- NIMANASU" (Kalyani)
Why is not your mind moved by compassion towards
me who have regarded whatever I have seen as Sri Rima
himself; and I do not know what fault I have committed !
Even people whom I have regarded as friends treat me
with jealousy and enemity, slight me and abuse me in a
number of ways and regard me as an outcaste unfit for
association: Fully realising that they are not the people to
protect me, I have taken refuge in you alone.
These people delude themselves by thinking that
wealth, wife and children are their own. They rush thought-
lessly after the rich; Pray, prevent me from becoming one
such, forgive me for my faults and look after my welfare
with mercy.
Do not treat me with so much indifference. I have
entirely relied on you, prayed to you as the indweller of
Tyàgar&ja's heart and, day and night sent appeals for
saving me:

beauty and qualites are a class by themselves and your
ways transcend the three Gunas: It is not likely that you
are from Sivalóka where even those who err slightly are
punished.
It may not be even Vaikuntham of Vámana, who decei-
ved Bali.
It cannot be the heaven of Brahma who spoke amo-
rously to his own daughter Sarasvati and had his head
chopped off by Rudra.
You are of the divine form, possessed of immeasurable
prowess, following Dharma, devoted to unfailing truth,

ENNADO RAKSHINCHITE” (SowrAshtram)
To infuse confidence in the people of the world that he
will surely appear to dispel the darkness which enve-

therefrom, does not the Sun, out of compassion, send Aruna
to herald his advent and thereby cheer them up?
To delight the hearts of all good people who, feeling
the want of water, eagerly look along the river-bed for it
and tc assure them that she would really bless them, does
not the Kaveri, sharing their concern, send in advance the
western wind and start the springs ?
In prospect of granting Lankadhipatyam to Vibhishana,
did you not magnanimously offer in advance, through the
all-knowing Lakshmana, assurance of protection to Vibhi-
shana who sought refuge under you, unable to bear the
torments of the arrogant Ravana?
Should you, in variance with your behaviour as detailed
above, having once before favoured me with your grace,
act in this manner now (withholding actual protection
from me) ?

ENNALLU NITROVA * (Kapi)
How long am I to be expecting your arrival in my
mind? How am Ito spend my time? I am maintaining my
body, my mind having been given over to you. like the
common folk Iam participating in the puppet show of the
world. I had certain objectives in the world, but the
path that my thoughts took became different.
Oh Rama! Should I divulge the secrets of my heart
in public ?
lam not tit for the company of men of taste; and for
the light-veined people, I am only an object of ridicule.
are you stil engaged in the services of your old
Bhaktas or are you determined not to come? Would your
coming entail any expenditure of your wealth? Why this
indifference? Hereafter don't try to find fault with me:
How much of tears should Ished? By communicating with
whom will my troubles come to an end ?
The man that ekes out his livelihood by selling flowers
will not care to sell firewood.
In you I have my native abode; make your grace
available to me without fail. Is it a fault that I have been
desiring you? Oh my beloved father, don't entertain
such an attitude. Is there any destitute like me in the
world, who is innocent of the wiles of this Kali age ?
I have often abused you and am reaping the result of
my folly:
Can I escape the effect of my past Karma? Cannot the
light of devotion dispel it? If it does not, will it not be a
reproach to you? Cannot you give up this disposition to
deceive ?
That I am yours is now only in word !

ENNALLU URAKE"™ (Pantuvarali)

sages ?
Did you not, at the instance of your wife, protect innu:
merable devotees ? Have you not declared that it was your
firm resolve to vouch salvation to the wise.

others and uttering lies.

serve you? Did not Adisesha, Paramasiva's ornament serve
you in the form of Lakshmana ? Did not the great and
austere Vasishtha, the chief among the munis, serve you as
friend and counsellor ? Did not the host of Devas come
down to earth for your sake to serve as Vánaras ? Has not
Tyagaraja sung your virtues praised by the Vedas?

appreciation of pious devotees, but how can my yearning

What sin have I committed for not getting from you
even a little of your grace? On my part 1 am plaintively
praying for darsan of your holy feet, but you on your part
remain indifferent, as though you were hearing and not
hearing my appeal.
I have reposed my faith in you, Oh Lord of Lakshmi,
hearing that you are none but the embodiment of Nada.
What sin have I committed that you should not condescend
to bless me, though living in Nádapura, the place of
Panchanadapura ?
Are you not moved by compassion to bless me ? Would
you not show me your blooming and enchanting face?
Does it become you to remain indifferent? Am Ia
condemned person ? Is there none to plead with you on
my behalf ?
How long am Ito bear this? 1 am at my wits' end,
not able to discern the past or the future. Pray, appear
before me and speak 10 me: You have been so long
forgetful of me.
Have I been imploring all and sundry? Have I ever
abused you? Am I not one relying on you? Are you to
show all your deceitful ways towards m e ?
Is one, who trusts in you, to suffer from sin still?
Does it redound to the credit of your race ? Pray let me-
know your mind.
Should one who is all-merciful be so indifferent in my
case ? Though being the sole indweller of my heart, you
have not been showing me that this is the right course for
me to take, but have been keeping quiet from the beginning.
You are the honey-bee of the lotus heart of Tyágarája.
You are the destroyer of sins:

him of one of his eyes, for his misdeed against Sita,
when she was lulling him (Rama) to rest ?
Is it not that Sri Rama who killed Vali for having
deprived Sugriva of the company of his wife and children
and made him run to the mountains ?
Is it not that guiltless Tyàgaràja's protector who
destroyed the arrogance of the wicked Ravana for having
administered harsh and cruel words to his brother, Vibhi-
shana, who, unable to bear them, had toseek Rama's refuge ?

ETAVUNA NERCHITIVO « (Yadukula K&mbhoji)
Where did you learn this drama which you enact with
Sita, Lakshmana, Bharata, Satrughna and Anjanéya? For
what purpose are you taking all this trouble ? Did your wife
ask of you diamond ornaments, or did your brothers and
parents want food ? Did your pious devotees invite you ?
============================

E TAVUNARA” (Kalyani)
Which is your place of abode? You are not easily
to be found, however closely you are searched for. Is
in the feminine forms of the deity like Sita, Gourl and
Sarasvati or is it among the five elements of earth, water,
fire, air and ether or in the innumerable worlds or among
the Trinity ?

" ETULA GAPADUDUVO " (Ahiri)
How are you going to protect me, who had got entang-.
led in the meshes of pgàyà of Samsara, who have been proudly going ebout considering none as my equal, as a result of the wealth earned by flattering rich men for
maintaining wife and family, me whose lot had been per-
petual physical suffering at the hands of wily agnates and
who got incapacitated thereby to know you; me who all
his life believed in the permanence of the company of
relations (discarding you), but realizing late in life its
profitlessness, (shamelessly) sought refuge in you in the
end ?

ETULA BROTUVO " (Chakravakam)
Oh Ráma, my sole, intimate Lord! I do not really know
how you are going to save me: Alas! Mine is a despicable
record of sins; detestable for the ear. Like an astray bull;
I have been roaming about caring only ior my feed. I have
flattered born misers to earn my sustenance, doing wicked
deeds in association with wicked people: 1 have thus suffered a lot.

Oh! Sri Rama! Do not think that I have been born
for any undefined puropse. Are you not aware of it in your
heart ? True, Valmiki and other sages have sung your
praise, and the songs may also be good and worthy of the
appreciation of pious devotees, but how can my yearning
(to sing of you) be satisfied P

ETULAINA BHAKTI” (Sama)
Oh Mind! Anyway try to have devotion to the feet of
Lord Vishnu without becoming attached to the illusory
Samsara.
Why should you have pride of learning ? Why should
you subject yourself to ignorance ? Why should you not
have the resolve promptly to enjoy the presence of the
Gem of the Solar Race in Ayodhya?
Are you ashamed to chant the name of Rama? Is it
improper to do so? You donotgivea reply. Are you
suffering from a wound in the mouth ? Will it bring you
glory, if you act up to the wishes of women ? Fool! Trust
not the body: It is but a water-bubble.
Wealth and enjoyments will be yours, if you associate
with genuine devotees. Meditate on TyAgaraja's saviour. It
is the remedy for the disease of Samsara.
=========================================

EVARAMADUGUDURA " (Kaly&ni)
Oh Rama! What boon shall I ask you? I could not
have even the privilege of worshipping and meditating
upon your holy feet.
The determination not to give up, on any account, the
task of carrying out the work that you think of, nor to give
up your blessed feet themselves, has become the monopoly
of Anjanéya.
The supreme happiness of looking after the welfare of
hosts of your devotees, and doing it as well as you would
do, has been appropriated by the youngster—your brother
Satrughna.
The ecstatic loving devotion which longs only to hear
of your glories, which desires ever to chant your holy name
and which seeks to see diligently the footprints of your
blessed feet on the earth, has become the sole possession
of Bharata.
The rare fortune of incessantly serving you, knowing
fully and following closely the trend of your mind and
giving up food and sleep, has exclusively gone to Laksh-
mana.
The bliss of identity with you, transceding body-con-
sciousness, discarding evil tendencies and realizing you
always in the heart as the Lord Himself, has been solely
reserved for Sita.
I shall not ask in this life for the comforts of this world
or even for the status of Indra. If the royal path of Devotion
is vouchsafed to Tyagaraja, that will be a real triumph for
him.

EVARANI NIRNAYIMCHIRIRA” (Dévamritavarshini)
What do people determine you to be and how do they
worship you? As Siva, as Madhava, as Brahma, or Para-
brahma? I prostrate before those wise ones, who found the
solution by picking out and combining the soul of each of
the two mantras—Mà from Siva Mantra (Panchakshara) and
Ra from Narayana Mantra (Ashtakshara).
=========================================

EVARICHCHIRIRA " (Madhyamavati)
Oh glorious Kodandapani! Who gave you your bow
and arrows? Were they with you when you were born?
Or, did you acquire them after coming down to the Earth ?
Your arrow,had the wonderful merit of getting multi-
plied into tens, hundreds and thousands, rushing in all
directions and destroying the enemies: When they were
aimed at the wicked KakAsura, even the Trimürtis drew
back from protecting him. When they were used on the
Samudra Raja, they killed all the Rakshasas of Drumakulya.

EVARIENA LERA " (Siddhasena)
Are there no good and great men in this world, who
could protect the helpless and let Sri Rama know of the
poignant trouble which people experience in the sea of
samsara ?
Is there no one of firm mind who could now point out
to TyAgarAja what the acts of the low people of Kali are and
what the acts of greedy and haughty men are (to enable
him to avoid them) ?
======================================
213
EVARIKAI AVATARAM" (Dévamanóhari)
For whom did you take this incarnation? Tell me now
at least, Oh Rama! I prostrate before the blessed one at
whose instance you incarnated, exhibiting both the aspects
of King and Rishi, with a name adored by the Vedas, with a
transcendantal form more glorious than those of Brahma
and Rudra and with heroic deeds full of bliss ?
====================================
348
EVARIMATA " (Kambhój)
To whose words have you listened ? Won't you come ?
Or, is it that you are not here ? Well !
Though I have been brought up in the Vedic and
Sastraic traditions, I have not been able to unravel this
mystery:
I have been relying on the significant declaration, that
you are ever In the service of devotees, made by great
Bhaktas, who have had direct vision of you: I have been
feeling happy that you are the all-powerful supreme Lord:
I have been regarding’ you as one of Satvic mind and
truthful.
=====================================

EVARITO NEDELPUDU (Manavati)
Oh Embodiment of all good qualities! Oh Dispeller
of Maya! To whom shall I unburden my agony? My
constant Bhajana has not produced the desired result—the
reverse has been the end—an attempt to make an idol of
Ganesa has resulted in my making a monkey.
===========================================445
EVARURA NINUVINA (Móhana)
Oh Sitapati! Ever-cheerful one! Who is there, besides
you, for my refuge?
Will not your grace be made available to me? Won't
you hear me? Won't you be kind enough to speak tome?
Is this proper? Why dispute with me? Am I a stranger to
you? Is it right that you should annoy me without coming
tome? Are you still indifferent? Am I such a loathsome
object to you? Ihave desired you, Oh beautiful Rama!
Pray, sustain me. You have not understood my inclination.
Oh Light of my life! you are effulgent. Why this
stiffness? I cannot stand this delay on your part. Are you
feeling any delicacy to come to my succour ?
======================================

EVARU TELIYA BOYYERU" (Todi)
Who can understand even a fraction of your prowess
and glory ? Oh Nilayatakshi, whom I have seen at Naga*
pattana!
Clad in precious golden garments, adorned with celes¬
tial flowers, with a parrot in hand, you made Siva dance.
At that time Hari, Brahma and other Gods praised you,
all the devata women stood witnessing gracefully and celes¬
tial damsels danced also in merriment. Seeing all this, you
showered your grace profusely.
You are the consort of Nagabhushana (Siva) and you
are the wealth of the devotees. Who else is there to
protect them ?
======================================

EVARU TELIYANU" (Punnáàgavaráli)
Who understands? People do püjà without understan-
ding. Can they understand, those who wander from place to
place, coveting and enjoying others' money and women and
earning livelihood? Under the baneful influence of hired
mistresses, they make it their only business to find fault with
their parents and brothers and forget your holy feet. They
believe that wife and children are permanent; and for their
sake, ruin others’ families and undergo untold suffering at
the hands of Yama, making themselves liable for the travail
of rebirth. Indulging in falsehood even with worthy men,
they spend their time in flattering ignorant rich folk, and
when discouraged by them, they quarrel with them and
spend their time uselessly in the company of depraved
people; out of envy they do not behave respectfully and
honour is shown where money is plenty: Such people can
never have any longing for you, nor know who your true
devotees are; They vretend to possess real capacity lo know
the truth and declare that the Universe is unreal. Such is
their false devotion. Oh my Father! What sort of renuncia-
tion is this? Is this their great adeptness? Let those (false)
Yogis who, without knowing the real nature of their material
body and what their fate will be engage themselves in
meditation, do so.
Sri Ráma! Why should you still neglect me without
protecting me?
======================
482
EVIDHAMULANAINA " (Sankarabharanam)
Won't you have the mind to bless me somehow ?
However deeply I may consider the matter, can I find any-
body except you to protect me who panted only for the
worship of your holy feet? Are there any Dévatas who can
protect holy people with mercy as you can ? I have always
firmly believed that you are the friend of the distressed and
have constantly prayed to you. Who is there who could
live without your grace ? You are the witness of the whole
Universe.
==========================================
248
EVVARE RAMAYYA" (Gangéyabhishani)
Who is there equal to you, Oh Rama! in protecting
good people quietly and without fuss ? Without minding
that he is the brother of your inveterate enemy, you made
Vibhishana, the king of Lanka, in appreciation of his
devotion:
