Mani Kanda Sthuthi II

Translated by
P.R.Ramachander



( A great prayer   addressed to Mani Kanda  )

1.Oru dinamengilum sabari gireesende  ,
Kamala Manohara  truppadangal,
2.Hrudaya sarovaram   thannil  mulakkuvaan,
Anudhinam   chinthanam cheiga  venam

1-2.For   the lotus like  pretty divine feet  ,
Of the  Lord of Sabari giri  to grow,
At least one day   in the   lake of the mind  ,
We have to meditate   daily   on Him.

3.Athilezhum thenindemadhurimaaswadanam,
Sariyai   ariyunna  Bhakthi varyan,
4.Kadina durachara poorithamaam  loka-,
Vipulandakarathil  mungunnilla.

3-4.The great devotee  who rightly  knows,
About  sweet taste  of honey flowing from it,
Does not get drowned  in the great darkness ,
Of the world which is sunk  in the hardened evil  rituals.

5.Parisudhamaam  jalam  thannil  muzhukiyaa,
Bhagawande divya  kesadhipadham,
6.Hrudaya  mukarathil  nannayi  phalippichu,
Madhura   dhyanathil layichirunnu,
7,Divasangal   pokki varunna  naranmaarkku,
Duritha   vinasanam   vannu cherum.

5-7.To those  men who  spend their days
In taking bath   in the pure water,
Reflecting  well in the  mind  ,
The  holy form of God   from head to toe ,
And then   sit  immersed in  sweet meditation ,
The destruction   of their sufferings  would arrive.

8.Akhilavum   deva  nin amsangalaanennum,
Bhagawan akhila   swaroopanennum,
9.Sakalthilum deva sadrusa  vibhavanam,
Sakalarum   cheyyuka  venam , ennum,
10.SAriyayai  ariyumaraakum Maha  Maya ,
Durithandhakarathil   chadukayilla.

8-10. All people  should  understand ,
That  everything   is only a part of god,
And that  God  has  a universal form,
And that everything   is like God and ,
Also understand these   forever and always,
And then they would not   jump  in to  the ,
Great illusion  of darkness   of suffering.

11.Bhagwat charithangal aavolam keerthichu ,
Kali kala  doshangal  doorathaakki ,
12,Maruvuka sakalarum , Appol  bhagwande,
Thirumukhamakathaaril  theliyumallo.

11-12 Let everyone   sing   the stories,
Of God to their   best of ability,
And drive away   the harms  of Kali age ,
And then they  would be seen  by the  divine face of lord.

13.Athu kondu bhakthiyum mukthiyum ,
Kai varum , athu thanne kittenda  vasthu sathyam.

13  Because   of that   they would get  devotion ,
And salvation  and that truly   is the things to be got.

14,Athinall yi bhagawande charitha  sayanam,
Anubhavicheeduka, bhava  rogarthan.

14.So  let those suffering from the  disease of birth-death cycle,
Experience   in the pleasure   of the   story   of this God.

15.Sariyayi vruthangal anushtichu   , devande ,
Madhura  poongavanam   thannilethi,
16.Muni vruthi kai kondu  , theerthangal sevichu,
Pathinettam padi  mel yethi kolvin.

 15-16.After   observing  properly   the penances  ,
Reach the sweet  Poongavanam (Lord’s  park) ,
Assume   the life  of a sage  , drink  sacred waters,
And then reach   the top of the eighteen steps.

17.Avide vasikkunna  harihara  thanayande  ,
Mahaneeya  moorthiye Kaanaam appol.

17.Then  it would be possible for you to see ,
The great and divine   form of son of Hari and Hara  who lives there.

Pani  mathidhara  puthranothu vaazhaam..

18-19.After  the  sufferings  which  were there  have come to an end,
After  enjoying very great joy  in the mind,
Without having   any more fear of birth and death,
We can live    with the son  of the God   who wears  the crescent.

20.”Harihara  suthaa, deva, sabarigireeswaraa,
Karunya  nilayame  , Bhoothanadhaa,
21,Agathikalkku   abhayangal anudhinam arulunna  ,
Mathi chooda  Mohini  Thanayaa, devaa,
22,Mani Kandaa, lokaika  Gurunadhaa , deivame  ,
Thuna cheithu   jnangle paalikkenam.”

20-22.”Oh son of Hari and Hara , Oh God of  the Sabari mountain,
Oh  staying place of mercy, Oh Lord   of all beings,
Oh son of  God who bears  the moon and Mohini  , Oh God,
Who daily     gives protection   to those  who does not have any one ,
Oh Manikanda, Oh Guru of the entire   world  , Oh God,
Please  be with us   and protect   us.”

23.Ithupole  mathi thelinja  akhilesa  keerthanam,
Manu nimisham   Cheyyuka Bhakthanmaare .
24.Kalikaala  nayagan  , giri vara  nilayan,
Akhilarkkum  mangalam kai  varuthum.

23-24.Oh Devotees  every minute   chant,
Similar song praising  the  God of the world ,
And the  lord of the Kali age who stays  in the  great  mountain,
Would bring   happiness    to every  one.
