MANASA SRI RAMUNI DAYALEKA " (Mararanjani)
Oh Mind! Why is this sudden disappearance of Sri
Rama's grace ? Have you raised an impregnable wall of
sins around me and spoiled all my efforts ? Have you turned
wicked and roamed about, hankering after other peoples’
women and wealth ? Have you tormented other souls ? Or
have you forgotten Sri Rama himself?
===============================================
241
“MANASA MANA SÁMARTHYA" (Vardhani)
Oh mind! Of what avail is our ability ? Note, the Lord
has mounted the chariot of the Universe and is himselt
driving it with his own prowess. He has spread the net of
Maya throughout, making victims of people like even
Kaikeyi, who in the first instance very jubilantly received
the news of Rama's coronation fixed by Vasishta and others,
242
and Sugriva, who, more than once, liveda false life in
this world:
=================================================
283
MANASA SRI RAMACHANDRUNI" (Isamanõhari)
Oh Mind! Do not forget Sri Ramachandra! Don't be
careless. Refer to the third and sixth chapters of Valmiki
Ramayana (to know that he is the supreme) ' He has
Assigned the duties of Creation, Preservation and Destruc-
tion to the Trinity as being of a lower order and contenta
himself with the work of fulfilling the desires of the good
devotees:
================================================
513
MANASA SRI RAMUNI DAYALEKA " (Mararanjani)
Oh Mind! Why is this sudden disappearance of Sri
Rama's grace ? Have you raised an impregnable wall of
sins around me and spoiled all my efforts ? Have you turned
wicked and roamed about, hankering after other peoples’
women and wealth ? Have you tormented other souls ? Or
have you forgotten Sri Rama himself?
===============================================
346
MANASULONI MARMAMU (Hindólam)
Get to know the desire in my heart. I have no other
refuge except you: It is not much to your credit that you,
as the Loving Lord, blessed many devotees in the past;
now, take me in your hand with compassion.
===============================================
174
MANASU NILPA SAKTI” (Abhogi)
If one is unable to control and concentrate his mind.
will any amount of worship with sweet bell and flower
Formal worship, Rituals ete. condemned. 145
conducted by him be of any avail? How can a bath in the
Kaveri or the Gang& save one, if he is eaten up with
arrant haughtiness ?
If a Somayaii's wife runs after beautiful paramours, will
he become fit for the heaven (through the S6ma y&ga
conducted by him with her)?
If a man who is a slave to lust and anger does tapas,
wil! such tapas save him ?
=================================================
178
MANASU SVADHINAMAINA” (Sankarabharanam)
To the great one who has control over his mind, where
is the need for other mantras and tantras ? For one who
realises that he is not the body, where is the need for mak»
ing penance (lapas)? For one who has realized that every-
thing is only yourself, where is the need for differentiation
in Asramas (status in life)? Will one, who considers the
whole universe as MAyà, be deluded by the charm of
women? Toone who has been throughout life free from
vicious sense-enjoyments, what need is there to be worried
with the cycle of birth and death ?
=================================================
10
MANASU VISHAYA NATA” (NAtakuranji)
If your mind is given away to sense-enjoyments and to
(the company of) dancers and voluptuaries, will my RAma’s
grace be made available to you ?
It is like a man lending the door of his own hut to a
neighbour (to enable him to close his own hut and go to
witness a drama) and keeping watch all through the night,
driving away dogs (from entering his own hut).
It is also like a woman who seeks prostitution to gain
some bran, leaving the potful of rice, which she had pre¬
pared, to be carried away by monkeys.
It is like imparting a holy Mantram to a deaf man.
==========================================
212 TYAGARAJA KIBTANAS

"MADILONA YOCHANA" (Kol&halam)
Ihave always regarded your Rama Avatàra as the
best of your ten Avatars
"MADILONA YOCHANA " (Kóláhalam)
Oh! King of Kings! Has not the question of protect-
ing me come up tor consideration in your mind ? I have
always regarded your Rama Avatar (role) as the best of your
ten avatars. Probably, Sita during her conversation with
you did not ask you to do your utmost for me. What
impression did my crying make in your mind ? Protect me.
==============================================

MAHITA PRAVRIDDHA? (Kambhdji)
Oh Mother Pravriddha-Srimati! Pray, protect me and
grant me devotion to your blessed feet !
84
================================
148
MA JANAKI" (Kambhoji) -
Oh Rama! You have become great and famous by
taking the hand of our Siti (in marriage), and have acquired,
thereby, the glory of being Ràvana's vanquisher. She
accompanied you to the forests, as ordained by you, she
left her real form beside Agni (the fire) and took a Maya
form to follow the Rakshasa Ravana; stayed under the
Asoka tree; though offended at his words, desisted from
killing him (by her indignant look) and wanted to leave
the credit of killing the enemy only to you.
==========================================
==========================================
551
MAKELARA VICHARAMU " (Ravichandriks)
Srl Ramachandra! Why should 1 feel any concern,
when you hold in your hands the leading strings of all the
dolls in the drama which you conduct so unerringly and to
the delight of the whole Universe ?
============================================
430
MANAMU LEDA " (Amir Kalyani)
Have you no self-respect? Have you no interest in
your own people ? Such 4??? like you devoid of attach-
ment can hardly be seen; you are the father of Kusa and
Lava, and me who has taste for music! When Sugriva
Spoke to you taunting words, you, with a sense of wounded
dignity, made him a king, you who are worshipped by your
servant Tyagaraja !
===========================================
506
MANAVINI VINUMA " (Jaya Narayani)
Oh Repository of Supreme Mercy! Captivator of
Devotees’ hearts! Pray, listen to my appeal. This is no time
to forget me. Imbued with the intense desire to have your
Darsan, I have banished evil thoughts from my mind and
“have been lovingly singing your glory. I have never enter-
tained thoughts which will be injurious to others, but only
those which do good to others.
=================================
=====================
358
MAPALA VELASI" (Asávéri)
Why don't you come and protect me now when you
have in your hand the power to bless one with full devotion
to your holy feet and save him ?
It is no hard task for you to redeem me from my piteous
condition. Oh ocean of mercy! How could I do my work
in the midst of the distress of the sinning people ? Why
this indifference to come to my succour in spite of the fact
that, in joy as will as in an injured feeling, I have made
myself an humble servant of your servants. My mind is
restless. My way is not always visible tome: I know no
other refuge than Thyself;
Oh my precious wealth!
==========================================
402
MARAKATA MANIVARNA " (Varali)
Oh My beloved brother! The bright emerald-hued
Rama! Pray, do not forget me. Bless me soon: I have
taken refuge in thee.
Vouchsafe to me the affection and love which Siti bore
for you.
========================================
225
MARAVAKARA" (Dévagandhari)
Oh Mind! Don’t forget Rama of bewitching beauty,
his dignified bearing, his soft words, the brilliance of his
eyes, the disposition of the cloth across his body——
his graceful jerks, the jingling noise of his foot orna-
ments, the gloss of his cheeks, his bow, its ringing bells,
his floral abode, unimpeded Darsan, his hand, the rings on
the fingers, his golden swing, the consort by his side=
his arrows, golden garments, his chest adorned by
Lakshmi, his alerfness in protecting devotees.
I shall worship him with the lotus of my heart all my
lite.
===================================
443
MARI MARI NINNE" (KAàmbhóji)
Oh All Pervading one! Though I have been incessantly
crying out for you, your mind has not been moved by
mercy: What was the reason for your rushing to the rescue
of Gajandra on the bare hearing of appeal P I have heard
of the story of your having presented yourseli before Dhruva
with all love. What was the secret of your having taken the
form of Narasimha for the sake of Prahlada, the son of the
Enemy of Devas ? Pray, tell me of the glory of your having
blessed Sugriva who had been guilty of having forgotten
the promises he had made:
It is not possible for me to bear this neglect any more.
I shall not hereafter listen (to any reason for such attitude),
====================================================
226
“MERU SAMANA DHIRA" (Mayamalvagowla)
Oh Rama, firm like the Meru mountain! Pray, come
tome so that I may feast my eyes with the captivating
beauty of your form - your graceful gait - your shining blue
body - the lovely curls on your forehead - the attractive
shape of your tilaka - your blooming cheeks - the brilliance
of your face - the golden jewels that adorn your neck.
===============================================
112
“MARIYADA GADURA" (Sankarábharanam).
Oh Merciful Lord ! It is not becoming of you to treat alike
all and sundry. Bhágavatas who have no knowledge of
music (RAga-Tàla) no real devotion and love, no Jnana
Yoga or sympathy live only an animal life !
=============================================
------------------------------------
10
"MENU JOOCHI MOSA" (SarasAngi)
Oh mind ! Do not get deluded by the illusory personal
appearance of women. If you only see their inside, it is
nothing but a cloak over filthy excreta, blood and other
ugly things. They carry on their amorous work with their
©yes whichi like sharp weapons, pierce (through men’s
hearts) and with their breasts which like mounds provide
the resting place for heads.
Therefore, do Sri RAma Bhajana well (and ©scape
their snares).
==========================================
151
MITRI BHÁGYAME" (Kharaharapriyà)
Lakshmana's fortune is unique. He had the rare
privilege of rocking Sri Ráma in gem-bedecked seshatalpa
152 TYAGARAJA KIRTANAS
and of getting thrilled when rare ragas were being sung to
the delectation of Sri Rama, praising the Tattvartha (of
the Lord's) incarnation.
=====================================================
136
“MELU MELU” (Sowr&shtra)
Oh Mind! the happiness that Rama Nima. gives to one is
positively higher than
the pleasure which a man of intense thirst derives on drink-
ing water,
the pleasure which a man of dire poverty derives on coming
by a treasure-chest,
the pleasure which people suffering from unbearable
drought derive when they get nectar-like water in
the well,
the pleasure which a helpless man in fright derives when
he acquires courage,
the pleasure which a hungry man derives when he gets a
sumptuous feast,
the pleasure which one derives in meditating upon Sri
Rama, the bestower of prosperity,
the pleasure which a man in an undesirable angry mood
derives when he calms down;
the pleasure which an utterly ignorant man derives when
he suddenly acquires proficiency in all branches
of knowledge,
the pleasure which a true devotee of Rama with proficiency
in music derives,
the pleasure which peple, without associating with ignorant
secular-minded people, derive from spiritual experience,
the pleasure which one derives after a successful Vedantic
inquiry,
the bliss which one derives from realization of Nirguna Para-
Brahma,
the happiness which one derives from worship, free from
taint of RAjasic and Tamasic gunas, and
the happiness which was vouchsafed to Lord Siva. This
fact is testified to by Lord Siva himself and sages like
Valmiki, Parvati and Hanuman.
====================================================
541
MELUKOVAYYA" (Bhouli)
Oh Sita Rama! Pray, wake up to protect the universe!
Sages like Narada are singing your praises. Itis already
day-break. Rise to partake of butter and milk. Celestial
women are humbly praying for opportunity to serve you.
The lights lit by siddhas, which have been shining brilliantly
like precious stones, have become dimmed. Devas and
kings are waiting to worship you.
--------------------------------------------------------------
542
MELUKO DAYANIDHI" (SowrAshtram)
Oh Lord of Mercy! Rise! It is time for the sun to rise.
I am offering in a golden cup butter and milk. Pray, accept
them and bless me with your benign looks. Sages like
Narada, Devas, Brahma, and Lord Siva are waiting to pray
to and serve you. Kubéra and rulers of the globe in all
directions have come to learn statecraft from you.
==============================================
415
MARUBALKA (Sriranjani)
How is it that you do not speak in response? Havel
sung to the praise of lewed and dishonest people ? You
are everywhere - far and near - and have also taken abode in
the lotus of my heart. I have now known the way and have
been feeling exultant over it:
=================================================
209
MUMMÜRTULU" (Atina)
Listen to the beautiful and concerted praise of the
Trimürtis of Sri Rama’s gunas, which they found to
outweigh their own gunas in worth, on weighing them both
in the balance in a spirit of rivalry. Having. heard that he
was only a king's son, they were.ataloss to know how he
could possess these gunas; and their doubts were not
cleared.
======
219
MUDDU MÓMU" (Süryakàntam)
How did Sri Ráma's face of captivating beauty shine
when he blessed with His Darsan the devotees who had
been for long looking forward eagerly with panting hearts
tor His advent, and how did even the sages get enchanted
with it? Was it the effect of ardent worship of pure minded
Brahmans, or of penance done in previous births or the
Lord's own divine nature ?
===================================
230 TYAGARAJA KIRTANAS
“MOHANA RAMA” (Móhana)
Oh! Rama of universally captivating beauty! Speak to
me sweetly; you are the foremost Lord: Your form has an
inexplicable attraction for me. Hearing the glory of your
human form all the Gods from Brahma downwards came
down to the earth and took in love the forms of birds, beasts
and monkeys and long enjoyed your Darsan with rivetted
eyes and ecstacy:
===============================================
350
MUNUPE TELIYARA (Bang&la)
Did it not strike you before? Would you not show your
grace? Though you know me to be resourceless, you see
me tossed about and enjoy the fun. Did you not once before
feel pleased with my good conduct and lavish your grace
on me? Dit it not strike you previously that my mind would
now be in such a plight?
============================================
-------------------------------------------
356 TYAGARAJA KIRTANAS
MUNNU RÁVANA" (Todi)
When of yore Vibhishana, unable to bear the torments
of his brother, Ravana, appealed to you, you overlooked the
fact that he was the brother of your enemy and expatiated
upon the noble traits of your family: Have you forgotten
it now ?
When of yore, Sugriva, unable to put up with the
harassments of Vali, praised you, taking compassion on
his pitiable condition you removed his despondency and
cheered him up:
Again, when of yore, Prahlada, unable to bear the
tortures of Hiranyakasyapa cried 'Murahara 1* you, with love,
removed his distress and conferred bliss on him:
I have heard of all such glories of yours in the past.
Pray, now protect me and remove my troubles:
==========================================
260
MIVALLA GUNADOSHA” (Kapi)
Merits and blemishes are not yours but are my own
making, Oh Rama! ,
If the gold is not of the required standard of purity,
why wail and blame the goldsmith ?
If one's daughter is not able to stand tha labour-pains,
why wrongly blame the son-in-law for it ?
If one failed to do charity to deserving persons and
worship God in previous births, why should one blame the
gods for his 10 ?
My trouble is due to my own mind and
to my own inclinations:
===========================================
201
MOSABOKU VINAVÉ" (Gowlipantu)
Listen! don't deceive yourselí and do not give up the
company of the good. Don't deceive yourself without know-
ing Sri Rama who removes the distress of his servants. The
miseries caused to one by association with low people persist
almost eternally. If you have firm and full faith in the Lord,
all your desires will be fulfilled. Running after money and
women will only bring you trouble and restlessness in this
life and hereafter. Meditation on the Adorable One will lift
your mind to the divine. Hanging upon uncultured
moneyed men will lead you only to faults.
==================================================
395
MUNDU VENUKA" (Darbar)
Come, protecting me in front, rear and the two sides,
Oh Destroyer of Rákshasas like Mura and Khara! I
cannot get the like of your beauty anywhere. Come quick!
Come with bow in hand. Come, you of immeasurable
prowess, along with Laksmana, your close follower. Oh
Saviour of Gajendra! Oh the abode of Pranava, Oh
beloved of devotees! Come and protect me well.
==========================================
394
MARUGELARA " (Jayantasri)
Oh, the Supreme! Why hide thyself? Oh R&aghava |
I have learnt and realised that you are everything in this
world: I do not think in my mind of any one but you.
Pray protect me.
===============================================
464
MATI MATIKI DELPAVALENÀ" (MGhanam)
Oh peerless Rama, worshipped by hoary sages!
Should I be reiterating my prayers frequently ? Should
not one direct appeal be sufficient? Should you not
respond and remove my distress quickly ? As an all-perva-
ding God, are you not aware of the condition of my mind ?
Oh Ocean of Mercy, Qh.Rerfect One! Why this indiffer-
ence towards one who has: supplicated to you in the belief
that you are unmatched by Devas? Of the potful of rice,
only one grain is taken for test to see whether rice is
boiled.
==================================================
590
MOKSHAMU " (S&ramati)
Is it possible for any but the realised souls to attain
salvation? Is it possible for one who is devoid of real
devotion and knowledge of divine music, to attain salvation?
Vital force contacting with 178 produces Pranava (Om)
and the Seven notes. People do not generally know the
secret of Lord Siva deriving immeasurable pleasure from
music of Vina.
=================================================
313
MATADAVEMI " (Nilambari)
Oh Sweet-lipped one ! Oh Peerless one! Why don't
you speak to me to cheer up my heart ? Not having found
you, in spite of longing and eager waiting, my mind was ill
at ease; just then you appeared near me; still you won't
talk;
==========================================
411
MARIYADA GADAYYA" (Bhiravi)
It is not an act of respectability on the part of one like
you; the repository of all mercy, to hold me to ridicule
among my compeers. What is your reason for not protect-
ing me? You alone, the greet one, have the reputation of
discriminating between those who are of you and others: It
is not at all fair that you should forsake me who is holding
fast to you.
