P nArAyaNa nee nAmamE gati ika

Oh Narayana, your holy name alone is refuge for me for the fulfilment of my wants.
C 1 pai pai mundaTa bhava jaladhi

tEpa yEdi ivi tega needuTaku ||
There are ocean of problems in front of me. I sink in ocean of worries. In between I struggle in ocean of family life. Where is the raft for me to swim across?.
C 2 panDenu eDama pApapurAsi
anDanu guDini puNyapu rAsi
konDanu naDuma triguNa rAsi yivi

Sins are piling up on my left. There is abundant piety on your right side. At the center of the hill there is repository of piety. Where is stability for me to enjoy it fully?.
C 3 kindi lOkamulu keeDu narakamulu

The world below is full of evils. The heaven above is within reach. When Sri Venkateswara is in your conscience, where else is the Supreme bliss?.
