vinnapAlu vinavale - bhoopalam

Annamaiah sings this song to wake up Lord Venkatesa to bless the devotees who are singing his praise early in the morning.

P vinnapAlu vina vale vinta vintalu

Listen to the interesting appeals. Why don't you lift the curtain.

The sun has risen and all gods and sages are all over there. Why don't you wake up opening your beautiful eyes gently?

Garuda, Kinnera, and yakshas are yearning for you. They are singing many songs and are waiting for you. Why don't you show your face to bless all?

Sesha, Tumburu, Narada, Brahma and many gods are standing before you. Oh Venkatesa, please wake up. Open your eyes and see your dear Alamelu Manga.

viSwaroopam - Bhairavi

Annamaiah says in this song that Tirumala is the abode of Vishnu's incarnation. He adds that the trees, the animals, the birds, and everything on the hill is holy and that a visit to Tirumala is a reward to only the blessed people.

P Visvaroopamidivo vishnuroopamidivo
SASvatulamaitimimka jayamu nAjanmamu ||
Here is the Viswaroopam (Cosmic appearence of the Almighty). He is the incarnation of Vishnu. We have become eternal. My life is successful.
C1 KonDavanti hariroopu gurutaina tirumala
PanDina vrkshamulE kalpataruvulu
NinDina mrugAdulella nityamuktajanamulu
menDuga pratyakshamAye mEluvo nAjanmamu ||
Tirumala symbolizes the supreme form of Hari. All the fruit bearing trees are like celestial Kalpataru trees to fulfill wishes. All the creatures on this hill are liberated forever. It is abundantly evident. I am fortunate.
C2 mEDavanti hariroopu minchainapaiDi gOpuramu
meeda vAlina pakshulamarulu
VADala konEti chutla vaikuntha nagaramu
YeedamAku poDachoope ihamEpoparamu ||
Hari is in the form of golden towers. The birds perched on the towers are celestials. The township around the Pushkarini tank is divine. Worldly objects appearing here are transcendental.
C3 KOTimadanulavanti guDilo chakkani moorti
eedulEni Sree venkatEsuDitaDu
VATapu sommulu mudra vakshapuTalamElmanga
Kootuvai nannEliTivi ekkuva nAtapamu ||
The idol in the temple is beautiful like crores of Manmadhas. Sri Venkatesa is eternal. Alamelu Manga on his chest is the most precious ornament. He is my great protector. Is it not a great reward for my penance?
