neekE SaraNanTi - simhEndramadhyamam

P neekE SaraNanTi ninnE nammitinayyA
paikoni Srihari neevE pariharinchavE ||
Oh Sri Hari, I surrender to you. I've faith in you only. You make me firm.
C 1 vijNAnamulu konni vindu nEnoorakE
sujNAnamulu konni chootu nEpoddu
ajNAnamu nEnaniSamu naDachEdi
prajNA heenuDa nenta pApa karmamO ||
I listen to some wise expositions without seriousness. I watch some wise events but I continue to move in ignorance. I am foolish. I don't know how sinful I am.
C 2 sukrutamu lokamari soridi nE bOdhintu
prakruti yokkakka vELa bhAvintu nAtmalO
akrutamulE nEnaniSamu chEsEdi
vikrutAchAruDa ninka vikAra mentO ||
Sometime I preach others. Sometimes I introspect myself and realise that I am following wrong path. I don't know how awkward my nature is.
C 3 dharma mArgamu konta talapuna nerigiti
nirmala chittamai mOksha nilayamu nerigiti
nirminchi Sri vEnkaTESa neevu nannu nElagAnu
marmamerigiti neTla mannana gAchitivO ||
I learnt the way of Dharma to some extent. I learnt about the abode for salvation. Oh Venkatesa, I realised that you are my protector. I don't know how you forgive and protect me.
