INDUKA iTHANUVUNU (MukhAri)
Is it for this that this body has been nurtured ?
Without using it for your service and for getting nearer
you, people wander here and there as slaves to desires*
Without constantly attempting to earn the grace of your
look< people cast wistful eyes upon women.
Without always engaging themselves in NAmakirtana)
people waste their time in gossipping on empty topics.
Without using their hands for worshipping you, they
stretch them out freely to receive sinful gifts.
Without using their legs to go round your holy places,
people run about lor receiving money doles (Bhoori).
They will not regard themselves, while living, as your
own. As a result, Yama jubilantly appropriates them as his
own.
Without praying to Sri Rama to come near them, they
waste their time.
=========================================
P-36
INTA BHAGYAMANI NIRNAYIMPA " (Punnagavarftli)
Is it possible even for Brahma, Indra and others to
measure the blessedness of those who worship the Great
Ones who meditate on you ?
Dullards, people of unsteady mind, heinous sinners and
those who can never hope for salvation, if only they join the
company of those who worship you, the matchless one, they
also become unequalled beings.
Those who grovel in the Maya SamsAra and those who
are fully immersed in lust and similar vices, if only they
seek the Darsana of those Bhaktas who have real faith in
you and have minds filled with nectar, will Brahma, Indra
and others be able to measure their blessedness?
Those who follow the routine of the karma-marga, with¬
out knowing your real truth, those who are devoid of Dharma,
if only they think of the rare fortune of the pure-minded
who meditate upon your form which gave birth to these
worlds, will Brahma, Indra and others be able to measure
their blessedness?
==========================================
P-50
ILALO PRANATARTI" (AtAna)
When you have not shown any mercy to me who have
long been meditating on you, pining with devotion and
surrendering body and soul at your holy feet, who gave you
the appellations of Pranatarti-hara (the destroyer of the
distress of the devotees) and Sankara (the giver of happi¬
ness) ?
Have I not sought refuge in you, making sashtanga
pranamams to you, (with all the parts of my body touching
the ground) ? And have I not made plaintive appeals to
you, Oh Panchanadisa ?.
===========================================
P-79
ISA PAHI MAM" (Kalyani)
Oh Jagadisa! Saptarishisa! Protect me! Can ordinary
people aspire to have this rare Darsana of yours? Ido not
know as the result of what Tapas I made in the past that I
have had your holy name. This is really Bh?loka Kail?sa as
people say. I have seen it for myself several times. Who
is your equal ? By your divine presence, all my worries and
troubles have disappeared and my life has become blessed
today. Who is there, but you for me?

I VASUDHA? (Sah?na)
I have not seen in this world another God like you, Oh!
K?vuri Sundaresa, shining with ever-increasing glory! Even
if one resides in your holy place only for half a minute, with
devotion, you generously remove all worries from his mind,
vouchsafe to him wealth and longevity, devotion to Brah-
mans, tejas and undying fame in the world.
------------------------------------------------
P-131
INTA SOWKHYAMANI" (Kap!)
It is not possible for me to describe the Anandam one
derives from the chanting of the Rama Namam. Who knows
its measure and quality? Only great and true devotees
know ite Lord Sankara, who delights in drinking the nectar
of music with the sugar-candy of Rama Namam mixed,
knows it well.
================
P-211
ITARA DAIVAMULA" (Chayatarangini)
Is happiness possible of attainment through other gods,
Oh Rama! tome, whose mind, without harbouring any
prejudice against other faiths, is constantly and passiona-
ely in love with you?
Istand resigned in you, whether you, who know my
mind, protect me or neglect me. I have only to say that
this is just the time for you to treat me as yours:
=================
P-218
INTANUCHU VARNIMPA" (Gundakriyà)
Is it possible even for Brahma, Indra and others to
describe your beauty, you, the father of the god of love?
Is it possible to describe the beauty of your benign look,
your charming face that surpasses the moon in splendour,
your sweet and soft words, your hand that blesseth and
your natural gunas? Even the Gods and the Vedas
and Saetras cannot have any conception of the glory of
your prowess, which easily subdues the haughty kings,
grown arrogant by securing boons from other gods as a
result of their terrible penances.
==========================================
P-352
IVARAKU JÜCHINATI" (Sankar&bharanam)
Is not what you have so long witnessed enough?
Should you continue to be so? Is there any sin which
cannot be destroyed by your all purifying power? Without
worshipping your lotus feet, I have through greed become
more and more entangled in the bondage of samsára and
have been unable to bear the consequent distress.
Unable to stand the torments caused by envious people
who have no fear of the other world, I have taken refuge in
your holy feet; Who is there for me except yourself?
Taking you to be my only saviour, I have been submitting
my plaintive prayers to you:
==============================================
P-359
INNALLU NANNELI "
Why play the farce now, having protected me all this time ?
Having seen the pitiable condition of à boy like me,
having counselled to me patience with encouraging words, having sported with me
to remove my depression and having cheered me all along
with loving side-glances taking account of my (desponding)
nature, where have you gone now, You who gave me the
promise to be with me always ?
If you are devoted to truth and keep to your word, you
must take me under your protection along with others. 1
have not made my prayers in a casual or superficial way: I
have always regarded you as my peerless companion, Oh
Friend in distress who fails not his word !
It is not fair that you should appear to me in different
guises once as a protector, Once as an annoyer and again
as a passive on-looker.
Oh the blemishless one! Have yóu not even a
particle of mercy on me ? |
======================================
P-361
INKA YOCHANA AITÉ" (Ghanta)
If you, Ocean of Grace, still hesitate what can Ido ? It
has become an endless struggle, and my body has given
way and got reduced to half: What offence have I committed
to deserve it ? I am not able to bear this torment and am
tired of the countless effects of the three afflictions ; all my
sins have taken a human form to harass me.
If one, who has placed his entire trust in you, is left to
suffer like this, it is well done indeed!
==============================================
P-412
INDUKA BUTTINCHITIVI" (Bhairavi)
Is it for this that you have created me—for me to toss
about and for you to enjoy the fun at my expense; to get
angry with you for constantly besetting me with dangers
and distress at the hands of those nearby, to develop in
me unrighteous desires for property, wife and children and
inordinate greed for wealth, to be insensitive to wrong, and
to associate with imposters ?
Can you not glance at me soon with your beautiful
eyes ?
=============================
P-444
INKA DAYA RAKUNTE" (Narayana Gowla)
If I do not get your grace even now, how can I bear it?
When I am so passionately longing for you, why don't you
come frequently to protect me? Why not now at least?
Aiter all is this treatment of me becoming of you? To
whom can I appeal? Are there no Devas here? But will
they be equal to you? Iam convinced that you are the
Lord. Sri Raghu Rájal You are the destroyer of all fear:
==================================
P-480
INNALU DAYARAKUNNA” (Narayana Gowla)
What is the matter that your Grace has not been made
available to me all these days ? Pray, tell me at least now.
From my childhood I have reposed my faith entirely in you,
and in none else. In the past did you not faithfully stand
by Sugriva and remove his distress? Did you not show
him a sample of your prowess only to convince him ? Did
you not put up with his failings, overlooking them, make
friends with him and vouchsafe to him in the end devotion
to your holy feet ?
Did I ask you to give me gold, wealth, horses and
elephants and did I ever utter an untruth? I have never
forgotten you: I have always cherished you in my mind as
my family treasure.
I have always regarded you wholeheartedly as my
father, mother and brothers: I have been worshipping your
blessed feet with flowers.
