P-48 TYAGARAJA KIRTANAS
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 !
============================================
P-49
MUCHCHATA BRAHMADULAKU" (Madhyamavati)
Lord Siva of Panchanada is coming out most beautifully
in procession, with his thought fixed on Parvati, the pure
and the beautiful; let us all go, O ladies, and enjoy the
Darsanam* It is not easily available even for Brahma and
other gods.
The Lord with his white and captivating form, bedecked
with jewels and rich flower garlands, is seated in an orna*
men ted palanquin, with royal parapherfialia, carried by men
of celestial bearing and with praises being sung by real
devotees.
At every stage he is being offered suitable naivedyam
and countless services by devotees.
He looks out for his devotees who practice always with
great pleasure Japa and Tapas, and lovingly promises
fulfilment of their desires.
Seeing this glory, BhAgavatas sing Hari-nama-ldrtana
excellently and with sweet notes and the elaboration of
varied RAgas. The Lord is coming out wide awake to
protect in time all good men and grant their boons; pro¬
claiming himself as being identical with TyAgarAja.
=========================
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 ?.
===========================================
52 TYAGABAJA KIBTANAS
"DARSANAMU SEYA" (NArayana Gowla)
Oh Siva ! Is it possible for me to have your Darsanam ?
You must take all things into account and forgive me.
No doubt I have seen the Gopuras, massive pillars,
stone idols installed on the earth and dances of women,
rows of lights, beautiful vAhanas and made pradakshinas
duly. My mind has been turned on things external.
I have made sixteen pradakshinas; I have indulged in
slandering others and in exultantly gazing at others' wives ;
but I have been unable to bring myself to do the holy
Siva Japam.
Is it a child’s play to install your glorious and beautiful
golden figure in the lotus of my heart and forget myself in
constant vision of it ?
============================================
P-53
SIVA SIVA SIVA YANARADA" (Panluvaraii)
Why should you not chant the name of Lord Siva and
get rid of the fears and troubles of Samsftra ?

In this Sanskrit Kruti Tyagaraja describes the glory and form of Lord Siva with many attributes.

O Sada Siva the supreme lord of Devas, the sun, the moon and the fire are your divine eyes.

Sri Maha Vishnu and Brahma tried to search in vain, for the ends of your limitless body. Patience and other virtues are your ornaments.

O Siva, you are adorned with crescent moon on your head. You shine with the effulgence of a million suns. Maha Vishnu the consort of Lakshmi adores you. Please bestow me the fortune of devotion to your lotus feet. You are the magnanimous succor to hapless. Your face beams with gentle smile. Tyagaraja worships you.
=========================
In the madhyamAvati piece, "muccaTa brahmadulaku", TyAgarAja imagines Lord shiva in a form that is completely different from the usual description we are used to. The Lord, with his white captivating from, bedecked with jewels and rich flower garlands, is seated in an ornamented palanquin, with royal paraphernalia, carried by men of celestial bearings and with praises being sung by real devotees.
In the more popular "shiva shivayenarAdA" in rAgam pantIn uvarALi, TyAgarAja says --- "chanting the vEdas extols the Lord. Avoid all the fruitless talks and in the company of noble devotees, indulge in chanting the name of the Lord and singing his glory. Knowing that shiva is the Lord whom TyAgarAja bows down, chant the name of shiva eternally".

krutis on Cauvery river
The sacred river kAvEri
The geographical location of the TiruvauyAru temple on the banks of KavEri has inspired TyAgarAja to sing in praise of this sacred river, or to refer to it in many songs.
In the k.rti “sAri VeDalina'' in rAgam asAvEri, TyAgarAja describes the flow of the sacred river kAvEri --- "the river, which gloriously going towards her husband's house, fulfilling the desires of all devotees, and after paying obeisance to the feet of Lord shrI Ra”nganAtha, comes to Pa~ncanadIshvara, who is the life of the fourteen lOkas".
In the mukhAri rAga piece, "muripEmu galigEgadA'', he further echoes: “Oh rAmA! are you not happy that you have secured the abode of Pa~ncanada kSEtra in cOLa dEsham, a place so beautiful, and worthy of being coveted by Lord shiva himself, situated on the banks of the holy river kAvEri?"
In the song, "ennADO rakSi~ncitE" in rAgam saurASTram, he again echoes --- "to delight the hearts of all good people who, feeling the want of water, eagerly look along the river-bed for it, and to assure them that she would really bless them, does not kavEri, sharing their concern, send in advance the western wind and start the spring?"

| You are the unparalleled queen Dharmasamvardhani the protector of righteousness, establishing yourself at the holy Panchanada nagara.
Oh Mother Parvati, I've immense faith that you are the sustainer of all the 'Lokas'. Please don't doubt my sincerity. I appeal to you and your dear consort Panchanadiswara (Siva) to ignore the false notion of many people that I am Rama's devotee only.
Oh Parvati the consort of Sadasiva, your eyes are beautiful like lotus flower. Costumes on your body are excellent. Your face is beautiful like the moon. I believe that you will dispel my sinful Karmas done due to arrogance. Please bestow me devotion to your lotus feet. You are very magnanimous. Please don't hide your compassion. I am in boundless grief. If you pay deaf ear to my lamentation, who else is there to care for me? Please protect me delightfully.
Oh Parasakti the Supreme transcendental energy, my mind is perturbed and is shaky like drops of water on lotus leaf. You are Ardhasareeri existing along with the body of Siva. Oh Mother Parvati, I firmly believe that the primeval deities Sri Rama, Maheswara and yourself are not different but the same. So, please never neglect your devotee
