- O Lord!
- O Being and Non-Being! O Noble-minded! O Lord SrI rAma candra! O Father of cupid!
- O Redeemer of the fallen! O Sun of raghu dynasty!
- If even You disregard me, to whom shall I complain?
- Even after knowing the state of my mind, if You disregard me, to whom shall I complain?
- It is not proper to slight me.
- I worshipped You, assuming that my wishes would be fulfilled.
- What is my fault?
- Please look after me.
- Lord Siva and pArvati ever extol You renouncing everything else, considering devotion to rAma to be the best among all forms of devotion.
- True devotees extol You looking at Your might.
- But, I developed love towards You looking at Your uniqueness.
- In order to be associated with pious people, I whole-heartedly, sought Your sanction, just, to ever perform chanting of, unrivalled, ‘rAma’ nAma.
- It is not proper to slight me.
- If, in this World, even You show disregard towards this devoted tyAgarAja, to whom shall I complain?

If even You show disregard towards this devoted (nata) tyAgarAja (tyAgarAjunipai), to whom shall I complain?
Notes –
Variations –
1 – kanneDa – nanneDa : As the meaning derived is ‘disregard’ or ‘abandon’, the appropriate telugu word seems to be ‘kannaDa’. However, if ‘kanneDa’ is split as ‘kannu+eDa’, the same meaning could be derived. But, ‘nanneDa’ does not seem to be appropriate because ending word of caraNa 3 'tyAgarAjunipai' cannot be connected to pallavi with ‘nanneDa’.
4 – jUciyAsakti – jUcinAsakti : There are two words ‘sakti’ and ‘Asakti’ – both mean ‘attachment’. ‘sakti’ in a lower sense - ‘attachment to senses etc’ and ‘Asakti’ – ‘attachment to Lord’ – kAntAsakti – see note below. In the present context, ‘Asakti’ seems to be appropriate. However, in the kRti ‘bhaktuni cAritramu’, SrI tyAgarAja seems to use the word ‘Asakti’ in the lower sense of ‘attachment’.
In my opinion, the word is required to be split as ‘jUci+Asakti’; therefore, correct joining would be ‘jUciyAsakti’. However, ‘jUcinAsakti’ could be split as ‘jUci’+’nA’+’sakti’. In the latter case, the word ‘nA’ does not seem to be appropriate – it should be ‘nAku’.
6 – satamu – satatamu : ‘satamu’ and ‘satatamu’ means same.
References -
2 – bhAvAbhAva – Being and Non-Being - The following verse from tirumandiraM is relevant –
illanumallan uLanallan emmiRai
kalladu nenjam piLandiDum kAtciyan
tollaiyan tUyan tuLakkilan tUymaNi
collaruncOdi toDarndu ninRAnE (3015)
He is and He is not; my Lord;
Break Your stony heart and there He is;
Ancient is He, Pure is He, Constant is He, Pure Gem is He;
He is Light beyond speech, Interminable is He.
(Translation by Dr. B Natarajan)
bhAvAbhAva vivarjitAyai namaH – One of the names of Mother in ‘lalitA sahasranAma’ (680) – Salutations to Her who is beyond Being and Non-being.
According to the Telugu Dictionary bhAvabhavuDu – means ‘one who exists in the heart – ie cupid’. Such a meaning is not applicable here.
3 – bhaktilO SrI rAma bhakti mElani – The reference to Lord Siva and Sakti is from phalaSruti of vishNu sahasranAmam where dEvi pArvati asks Lord Siva the means for hearing the thousand names of vishNu recited by the learned every day. Lord Siva replies that simple repetition of the name of ‘rAma’ would be equal to reciting vishNu sahasranAma.
4 - Asakti – This word has been translated as 'love' keeping in line with the usages in the following verse of nArada bhakti sUtra –
guNa mAhAtmyAsakti-rUpAsakti-pUjAsakti-
smaraNAsakti-dAsyAsakti-sakhyAsakti-
vAtsalyAsakti-kAntAsakti-Atma nivEdanAsakti-
tanmayAsakti-parama virahAsakti
rUpA EkadhA api EkAdaSadhA bhavati (82)
"Bhakti, or Divine Love, though in itself one only, manifests itself in the following eleven different forms : (a) Love of the glorification of the Lord's blessed qualities, (b) Love of His enchanting beauty, (c) Love of worship, (d) Love of constant remembrance, (e) Love of service, (f) Love of Him as a friend, (g) Love of Him as a son, (h) Love for Him as that of a wife for her husband, (i) Love of self-surrender to Him, (j) Love of complete absorption in Him, (k) Love of the pain of separation from Him. (Translation by Swami Tyagisananda)
Comments -
5 – sammatamuna – whole-heartedly – Though this word has been attached to ‘kOriti’ (sought), it may also be attached to the word 'sangati sEyuTaku'.
7 – vratamu – generally, this word means ‘vow’. In the present context, this word ‘vow’ does not convey the meaning adequately. Therefore, the Sanskrit meaning ‘command’ (sanction) has been adopted.
vratamu – Sanction to chant rAma nAma. While bhakti is the means to attain Lord, even that bhakti can spring only if there is grace of Lord. What a catch 22 situation! Which comes first – bhakti or grace? In my humble opinion, up to gauNa bhakti it is the man’s effort and the mukhya bhakti is the Lord’s grace. Please refer to kRti ‘bhakti biccam’ rAga SankarAbharaNaM.
8 – nata janaka kula abja hita – This is how it is given in all the books. In some books, this has been taken as two epithets ‘like father to the devotees’ and ‘Sun of Solar race’. One of the meanings of ‘ka’ is ‘Sun’; ‘abja hita’ may also mean ‘Sun’. But 'nata jana' by itself does not convey any meaning.
Therefore, this has been split as ‘janaka kula abja hita’ meaning ‘the Sun of his paternal (janaka) (Solar or raghu) dynasty’. ‘nata’ has been taken as an epithet of ‘tyAgarAja’. The word ‘janaka’ may not be taken to mean ‘King janaka’ but only ‘paternal’.
