O Lord worshipped by the very hands of brahmA, sage sanaka and others! O Lord with a sacred navel who resembles rain-cloud in hue! O Moon born in the Ocean of heart of (the dynasty of) Sun!
Deign to accept the worships performed (by me) with leaves of tulasI and bilva, and jasmine, lotus and other fragrant flowers.
Deign to accept the worships performed by this tyAgarAja –
ever without desire or motive,
with kindness, love and supreme bliss,
on Your chest, face, head, shoulders, hands, eyes and holy feet,
with leaves of tulasI and bilva, and jasmine, lotus and other flowers.
Word-by-word Meaning
P Deign to accept (kaikonavE) the worships (pUjala) performed (by me) with leaves of tulasI and bilva, and jasmine (mallikA), lotus (jalaja) and other (Adi) (mallikAdi) flowers (sumamula).
A O Lord worshipped (arcita) by the very hands (kara) (karArcita) of brahmA – seated (Asana) in Lotus (jalaja), sage sanaka and others (Adi) (sanakAdi)!
O Lord with a sacred navel (su-nAbha) who resembles (Abha) rain-cloud (jalada) (jaladAbha) in hue! O Moon – deer (hariNa) marked (anka) (hariNAnka) - born in the Ocean – Lord (ISa) of waters (jala) (jalESa) - of heart (hRt) (hRjjalESa) of (the dynasty of) Sun (vibhAkara)!
Deign to accept the worships performed (by me) with leaves of tulasI and bilva, and jasmine, lotus and other fragrant (sugandha) flowers.
C Deign to accept the worships performed (arcincu)
by this tyAgarAja (SrI tyAgarAju) ever (niratamunu) without desire or motive (nirupAdhikuDai),

Notes –
Variations –
1 – sumamula – suma. In the present context, ‘sumamula’ seems to be appropriate.
3 – niratamunu - niratammuna.
Comments -
2 – karuNatO nenarutO paramAnandamutO – there is some doubt whether these words could be applied to the Lord - (Accept my worship gracefully, lovingly and with supreme happiness). However, in my humble opinion, these should be applicable to SrI tyAgarAja only; while ‘karuNatO’ and ‘nenarutO’ might be applicable to the Lord also, the word ‘paramAnandamutO’ may be superfluous to the Lord because He is sat-cid-Ananda.
4 – nirupAdhikuDai – This word generally means ‘limitless’, ‘attributeless’ etc with reference to the Supreme Lord ( refer to kRti ‘nI cittamu nA bhAgyamu’ rAga vijayavasanta, wherein SrI tyAgarAja calls the Lord ‘nirupAdhika’). However, as this word here refers to SrI tyAgarAja himself, this has been translated as ‘unselfishly’ or ‘without motive’, ‘without desires’, ‘for its own sake’ in keeping with the verse in the caitanya caritrAmRta, Adi, 4.200-201

Dear Govindan,
During my research on one of Great Tyagararaja's kritis I found your site.
I would like to congratulate on your extensive explanation in differnt sripts and with detailed meaning. Hats Off To You!!
However I would like to suggest that if you can provide a link to actual vocal&Instrumental version I think you will have a complete source of KRTIS..
GREAT WORK!!

Dear Sri Srinvas,
My attempt in publishing the kritis of Sri Thyagaraja is purely from Bhakti point of view. I can understand your desire to hear the song also. However, I do not have any plans to add audio clips as there are many websites which have audio clips.
Thanks for your nice words.
May Saint Thyagaraja Bless us all
V Govindan
work is complete only when the audio clip is heard which only gives eternal bliss realised in one's life.
Audio clips are available in YouTube collection and what is difficult is to get such a detailed note in different languages along with lyrics.
Kudos to the blogger for his efforts.
Regards,
Shivam Perinkulam

Congratulations for this yeoman service and effort! May Thyagaraja keep you in bliss.
The bilva piece is available here after the Goula compisition of Dixitar and after Basavanna's vachana.
