1.Kim varnaye
thava vi bho yadhudheerithosu,
Samspandanthe thamani vaang mana indryaani,
Spandathi vai thanu bhoothaam aja sarvayoscha,
Swashyaapyadhapi bhajathaamasi bhava bandhu
Oh Lord , how can
I properly describe, you who are born in yadhu family,
You are the one who makes the words , mind and organs work,
You are the one
causes to move, body of all the beings
at all
times,
And though you are the power controlling all, you are the
friend who depend on you.
2.Moorthee
yime bhagawatho bhagawan
trilokhyaa,
Kshemaaya thapa
viramaaya cha mruthyu jithai,
Nana
bibarshya vithum anu thanur
yadhetham,
Srushtwaa punar
grasasi sarva mivor varnaabhi.
Oh God of Gods, you have assumed this form for,
Comfort , stopping
of pain and winning over death of the three
worlds,
like the spider
creating the web and is able
later withdraw it,
You create the world and you have power to merge it within yourself
.
3.Thasyaa vidhu sthira charesithurangri moolam,
Yathstham nakarma
guna kaalaruja spursyathi,
Yadh vai sthuvanthi ninamanthi yajanthya bheekshnam,
Dhyayanthi vedha
hrudhayaa muniyasthadhaapthyai.
I worship
the feet of God who is the lord
of moving and non moving beings,
If we surrender to
them, life would not depend
on action , habits and time,
To reach that state
the sages who are expert in Vedas pray
to you.
Meditate on
you by doing prayer , salutation , worship and meditation.
4.Naanyaam thavaangryupanayaadha
upavarga moorthe,
Kshemam
janasya parithobhiya eesa vidhma,
Brahmaa
bibhethyalamatho vipadhaardha
dhishnya,
Kalasya they
kimuthha thath krutha bhouthikaanaam.
Oh lord
without surrendering to your
divine feet,
Humans cannot live comfortably nor reach
the heavens,
With two
cycles of your time , even lord
Brhama is swallowed,
And what to
tell the creation of Brahma , wo are living?
5.THadh vai
bhajaami ruthadhi yasthava paadha moolam,
Hithwodhamaathmacchadhi
chaathma guro parasya,
Dehaadhya paarthamasadhanthya ma bhijna maathram,
Vindhetha the
tharhi sarvaaneeshithartham.
And therefore I
pray your feet which is in my mind,
Not bothering about this body which hides the soul,
Which is useless
and nominal and bothering about you only,
Who controls the soul , and which is above
everything.
6.Sathwam rajas thama yitheesa thavathma bandho,
Maayaamayaa
sthithi layo udhaya hethavosyaa,
Lelaa druthaa yadhapi
sathwa mayee prasanthyai,
Naanye nrunaam
vyasana mohadhiyascha yaadhyaam.
Oh God who is
close to my soul, though you create the universe
Using Sathwa, Rajas and thamas and manage its nurture and
destruction,
Only the sports
relating to Sathwa is useful to maintain peace,
And others gives
sorrow and passion to man and
trouble him.
7.Thasmadh thaveha
bhagavan naadha thavakaanaam,
Shuklaam
thanum swadhayithaam kusalaa
bhajanthi,
Yath saathwathaa
purusha roopamusanthi sathwam,
Loko yatha abhaya
muthaathma sukham na chaanyath.
Oh God because of
that wise people worship your pure,
And Saathwik and pretty form and
the form of your devotees,
Great devotees say God is pure and Sathwa,
Vaikunta is Sathwa and there we get protection and joy .
8.Thasmai
namo Bhagawathe , purushaaya
bhoomne,
Viswaaya viswa
gurave para devathaayai,
Narayanaaya rishaye cha
narothamaaya,
Hamsaaya
samyatha gire nigameswaraaya.
So I salute God, the , who is Purusha in earth,
Who is the world ,
the teacher of the world, divine God,
The great sage ,
Narayana , the greatest man,
The great Yogi ,
one who practices control and God of Vedas.
9.Yam vai na
vedha vithadhaaksha padhair
bramadhi,
Swantham
sakheshwasushu, hrudhyapi druk padheshu,
Thanmaayayaa avyathamathi sa
uu yeva saakshaadh,
Adhyasthavaakhila guro
upasaadhyaa vedham.
Though you are
the controller of senses, soul , wisdom
and so on,
As long your illusion
keeps covering the mind of man,
That mind depending on senses only can know only huge
things,
But when Vedas created by
you opens the wisdom in the mind,.
That mind would
be able to understand you without support.
10.Yad darsanam
nigama aathmaraha prakaasam,
Muhyathi yathra
kavayo ajaparaa yathantha.
Tham sarva vaadha
vishaya prathi roopa seelam,
Vandhe mahaa
purusham aathmanee gooda bodham.
That knowledge in
Vedas which throws light of wisdom to the soul,
And without that wisdom Even Brahma and other Devas cannot
know you,
I salute you that
great purusha, who is taught by great
Darsanas,
And which is hidden before the body and mind which are described as soul.
