ihapara sAdhana - malayamArutam

P ihapara sAdhanamidi yokaTE
sahajapu murAri sankeertanokaTE ||
Sing the glory of Sri Krishna the foe of demon Mura. It is the only means in this and other world also.
C 1 bhava sAgaramula bApeDidi tEpa
bhuvinajNAnamu pulivAkaTTidi
javaLi nASApASamulaku koDavali
navaneeta chOru nAmambokaTE ||
It dispels worldly afflictions. It is like raft on ocean. It cleanses like sour liquid cleans metal. Praising him severes fascinations and bonds as if with a sickle. Chanting the name of Krishna the butter-thief is the only means.
C 2 chinta timiramu chericheDi sooryuDu
antaTa daridra hatapu nidhAnamu

mantuku harinAmambidi yokaTE ||
He dispels sins like the Sun dispels darkness. He is like treasure trove to eradicate poverty. His name is the 'Mantra' that destroys fear of death. Hari's name is the most glorious name.
C 3 minchu dukhamula mruta sanjeevani
anchala panchEndriyamula kankuSamu
enchaga Sri vEnkaTESu dAsulaku
panchina pALLa paragina dokaTE ||
Hari's name is life-restoring 'Sanjeevani' to dispel all agonies. It disciplines all the sensory organs like a goad. If you devotedly think you will find that it is the only means for devotees of Lord Venkateswara.
