TERA TIYAGA RADA" (Gowlipantu)
Oh Tirupati Venkataramana! Supreme Being! Could
you not remove the screen of anger, arrogance and jealousy,
which, taking a firm stand within me, keeps me out of the
reach of Dharma and other purushArthas including mO?ksha?
As the effect of this screen I am in the position of a hungry
fish that gets ruined by grasping the bait in the angle.
effectively hides from vision the immaculate light of the
Lamp (10879)
l am in the plight of one who, while happily
taking his dinner, gets a fly (ajn?na) stuck in his throat.
This screen creates confusion in me, as in the case of aman,
who, while engaged in worship, allows his mind to wander
over the chandalas? quarters.
By the existence of this screen, my mind gets caught by evil, just as ignorant beasts are got in the hunter's net.
I have been following you faithfully. (Pray promptly
remove the screen).

TAPPI BRATIKI" (Todi)
Is it possible in this Kali, Oh Rama! to escape, with a
firm mind, from getting immersed in the dangerous tank of
the senses, and survive ?
Is it possible to have a mind that can regard valuable
metals as poison and potsherd ?
Is it possible to remain firm and unattracted at the sight
of wily and beautiful women well dressed and with the
charm of curly hair ?
Without adopting the right royal way and worship-
ping sincerely the Lord adored by Ty&gar&ja with jasmine
and other flowers, is it possible to escape getting immer:
sed in the dangerous pond of the senses and survive in
this Kali?
===================================================
139
TELISI RAMÁCHINTANATO" (Pürnachandrikà)
Mind! chant the Lord's name with understanding and
thought of Ràma, stopping the wanderings of the mind (clos-
ing the gates of the mind) at least for a minute and realising
the true significance of the form of the great Redeemer.
'Rüma' is the name for woman also. If when uttering
that word, your mind dwells on that object, you will have
only to wrestle with lust and other passions. But ‘Rama’ is
the name for Parabrahmam also, and if your mind dwells on
it, while utteing the word, your life's ills will come to an
end.
‘Arka’ is the name for the poisonous tree. By thinking
of that object while uttering the word, how can your restless
(monkey) mind get controlled ? ‘Arka’ is the name for the
sun also. If you visualise him when uttering the word, your
tendency to disputation and ignorance will vanish.
‘Aja’ is the name for a goat. If you think of it only
when uttering the word, how can your true desires be ful-
filled? ‘Aja’ is the name for Brahma also If you think of
him when uttering the word, you will be blessed with
victory.
================================================

TELIYALERU ” (Dhénuka)
==
They can never know the path of devotion, they can
only roam about and dream about it, those who with the
sole purpose of earning money, put on the guise of worthy
men, wake up and bathe early in the morning, smear their
bodies with ashes and count with their fingers.
==============================================
============================================
209
TALLIDANDRULU" (Balahamsa)
Is there any God equal to you in the world? You had
parents only in name. Your abode is the milk ocean ; your
consort is Siti; Siva, Brahma, Indra, Sun, Moon and other
Devas serve you as Vánaras; Chakra and Adisesha have
become your brothers and are serving you.
===========================================
257
TANAYUNI BROVA" (Bhairavi)
Does the mother go to the child to protect it, or does
the child go to the mother ?
Please reveal this secret and show me your face.
Does the cow go after the calf?
Do the paddy fields go upto the clouds for water?
Does the paramour go after his beloved?
Come and reveal this
secret.
=====================================
278
TATVA MERUGA" (Garudadhwani)
Is it possible to realise the truth ? Is it possible to
realise the great truth? Is it possible to realise the great
truth that you Ráma are the meaning of the greataffirmation
“That thou Art”? Is it possible for one so long as one is
caught up in struggle with Tamasic and Rajasic gunas to
realise the truth of the Vedas and Sástras ?
=========================================
278
TANALONE DHYANINCHI" (Dévagandhari)
Oh Rama! One must meditate within his own self and
become one with you; He must realize the seat of his self
in the cave of his body: That very moment, he will know
your truth and grasp it firmly:
As long as Man is under the sway of the My of I, he
wil not know in which direction he is dragged. His past
karma will operate strongly and not even Brahma can undo
it: The worldly tendencies will dominate; and for ages such
people will not be inclined to place right value on intros-
pection ; nor will they be in a position to realize that there
are higher stages of happiness than what can be derived
through senses:
Oh Lord! You are sporting with the five elements and
you are enjoying bliss eternally, stretching yourself on
your bed of Adisesha.
You will assuredly hold Tyágaràja by the hand and
protect him.
===============================================

TIRUNA NALONI DUGDHA (Savéri)
Will my passionate desire be gratified, until and unless
I instal and hold your blessed feet in the lotus of my heart
unless and until I offer you thrice good milk and rice, fine
betel leaves and stand by your side, holding the gem-
bedecked spitoon, until and unless I stroke everyday your
lotus feet, fan you with golden-handled fan, put you on
=the big Serpent-couch, spending time seeing you to my
eyes’ content, singing pleasingly your glories ?
===========
321
TOLINE JESINA PÜTAPHALAMU" (Suddha Bangla)
It must be the effect of my (defective) worship in
previous births that, though I have been thinking and
pining in several ways, you are irresponsive, myself remain-
ing here and yourself there. You have left me to the
ridicule of my compeers, in a place bereft of devotees and
full of people whose only concern is to live somehow, and
you have not shown me a way out.
==========================================
323
TOLI JANMAMU " (Bilahari)
I have now known the sins I had committed in my
previous births. I have known also their results. They are
clear as a fruit in the palm of the hand, which does not
need a mirror to show it; Just as a fine paddy sprout will
be in an incompatible company amidst ragi crop, the merit
of your holy name will also be so in the midst of my sins.
=========================================
==========================================
427
TANAVARI TANAMU ? (Bégada)
Have you no special consideration for me as being your
own P Can we ever find such a trait in the kings of the
Solar Race ? Have you not voluntarily called your devoted
servants and made presents to them of necklaces P Have
you not given monkeys the honour of your company while
taking 1??? P Pray do not annoy me and delay your
blessing ?
=============================================
521
ELAVATARAM " (Mukhári)
For what purpose did you incarnate as Rima? Was it
to make war, Oh Rághava, or to rule over AyGdhy& ? 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&agar4ja who had made for you a garland of gems
of Kirtanas in various ragas ?
=======================================
530
TULASI BILVA " (Kéd&ra Goula)
Pray, accept affectionately the worship and archana
of sweet-smelling Tulasi, Bilva, Malli and other flowers on
the various parts of your body, which Tyàgaraja does always
without worldly attachment.
=================================================
531
TULASI DALAMULACHE " (5??1181606 Goula)
I have often and for long been cheerfully worshipping
the holy feet of the Lord, the Dharmátma, with Tulasi leaves
and occasionally with various sweet-smelling flowers.
==============================================
534
TULASI JAGAT JANANI
Oh Tulasi, mother of the universe, destroyer of
sins! No gods can equal youin steadfastness. Pray, prote
me. Your holy feet are veritable paradise for Trivers,
Your body is the abode of all angels; over your head
shines all scriptures; and your praises are sung by
Tyágarája.
==============================================
548
TAVA DASOHAM “ (Punnágavaràl)
Oh Son of Dasaratha !
I am your servant.
I have been Seeking you. Pray, protect me and listen to my appeal!
This is not the time to forget me.
Convinced that there is no other God like you in the world, I have token refuge in you.
===========================================
