vAdulEla

P vAdulEla chaduvulu vAru cheppinavEkAvA
vAdulEla meemATa vArikanTE nekkuDA ||
Are not the holy scriptures Vishnu's revealations? Why should there be a debate? Is your argument greater than His command?
C 1 nAlugu vEdAla brahma nali nevvani sutuDu
vrAsina purANAla vyAsuDevvani dAsuDu
leela rAmAyaNapu vAlmeeki vasishTulu
Alakinchevvani golichirataDE pO dEvuDu ||
Whose son is Brahma the preceptor of the Vedas? Whose devotee is sage Vyasa, the author of Puranas? Who did Valmiki and Vasishta of Ramayana worship? He alone is God.
C 2 bhArata mevvani kadha bhAgawatamu cheppina
dheeruDaina SukuDu yEdEvuni kinkaruDu
sArapu SAstrAlu choochi sanyasinchi nuDigETi
nArAyaNa nAmapu dEvuDE pO dEvuDu ||
Whose glory did the epic Maha Bharata speak of? Whose devoted servant is sage Suka ? The wise become monks after comprehending the essence of scriptures. They take refuge in the sacred name 'Narayana'. He alone is the almighty.
C 3 vishNuvAjNayani cheppE vidhi sankalpamEDadi
vishNu mAyayani cheppE viSwamantA nevvanidi
vishNumayam sarvamanE vEdavAkya mevvanidi
vishNuvu Sri vEnkaTAdri vibhuDE AdEvuDu ||
Are not the ordained tenets and our plans are considered as Maha Vishnu's commands? Did not the Vedas declare that Maha Vishnu is all pervading? Lord Venkatesa is none other than the almighty Sri Maha Vishnu.
