jaganmOhanAkArA - mOhana

P jaganmOhanAkArA chaturuDavu purushOttamuDavu
vegaTu nAdOsambu idi nA velitO nee velitO ||
Oh Purushottama, you are the most fascinating Lord. You are skillful. I wonder at my dissatisfaction. Is it my deficiency or yours.
C 1 ennimArulu sEvinchinA kannulu taniyavu
vinna nee kadhAmrutamuna veenulu taniyavu
sannidhini mimmu nutiyinchi sarusa jihvayu taniyadu
vinna kannadi kAdu idi nA velitO nee velitO ||
My eyes are not satisfied though I worship you repeatedly. My ears are not satisfied though I listened to your stories many times. My tongue is not contended though I sang your glory in your presence. Is it my deficiency or yours.
C 2 kaDagi nee prasAdamE goni kAyamu taniyadu
badi pradakshiNamulu sEsi pAdamulu ivi taniyavu
nuDivi sAshTAngamulu chEsi nudurunu taniyadu
veDagutanamidi kaligenidi nA velitO nee velitO ||
I am not tired of enjoying your "Prasad". Any number of perambulations do not pain my feet. My forehead does not ache inspite of a number of prostrations. This may be my madness. Is this due to you or me?.
C 3 chelagi ninu pujinchi chEtulu taniyavu
cheluvu singArambu talachi chittamu taniyadu
alari Sri vEnkaTagireeSwara Atma nanu mOhimpa jEsiti
velaya ninniyu dEre munu nee velitO nA velitO ||
My hands are not tired of worshipping you. My mind is not tired of looking at your beauty. Oh Venkateswara, you fascinated me. Is this my deficiency or yours?.
