harinerugani janma

P harinerugani janma madiyEla A
sarusa nAtaDu lEni chaduvEla ||
What for is this life without knowing the glory of Sri Hari? What for is education without him?
C 1 daya tolaginayaTTi tapamEla
bhayamu lEniyaTTi bhaktEla
priyamu mAninayaTTi penagElA manchi
kriyA viruddhapu keertanalEla ||
What for is penance with no compassion? What for is devotion devoid of fear of evil? Why do you quarrel instead showing love? What is the use of devotional singing when your deeds are wicked?
C 2 phalamu lEniyaTTi panulEla kaDu
kalimi lEniyaTTi garvamElA
balimi lEniyaTTi pantamElA Sauri
dalacha lEniyaTTi tanuvadi yElA ||
Why are you engaged in futile activity? Why are you proud though you are a pauper? Why are you stubborn when you are powerless? What is the purpose of your body if you can't worship Srihari?
C 3 tanakamarani doratanamElA
chanuvu lEniyaTTi sAligeyElA
yenalEnA Sri vEnkaTESwaruni SaraNani
managaligina meeda mari chintalElA ||
Why do you want power when you are unfit for it? How can there be love with no familiarity? If you surrender to Lord Venkatesa you will be free from all worries.
