Comments -
General – In some books, ‘tiredness’ (baDalika) has been attributed to SrI tyAgarAja. It is the tiredness of the Lord that SrI tyAgarAja is mentioning in the kRti.
1 – parava lEka – This is how it is given in all the books. ‘parava’ has two different roots – (1) ‘paracu’ – to spread (like food items); (2) ‘paranA’ – regard, respect. In the case of ‘paranA’, the ending vowel would be elongated as ‘paravA’.
If it is taken in the first sense ‘to spread’, then it should be joined to the first half of the caraNa and interpreted as ‘for not preparing nice (sacred) food items and not offering (parava lEka) (literally spreading) the same and talking as if it is alright’.
If it is taken in the second sense ‘regard’, then the second half could be interpreted separately – ‘talking without regard (paravA lEka) as if it is alright’.
As the ending vowel of the word ‘parava’ is not elongated, it has to be taken in the first sense only.
2 – saripOyinaTTu – this is how it is given in all the books. this is mostly a colloquial usage. This is used idiomatically to mean ‘it was alright’, ‘it didn’t matter’.
3 – anukonu – This has been translated as ‘intention’; however, in fact, as the Lord is ‘satya sankalpa’, His very intention or thought is as good as accomplished. This is also called ‘cittamu’ – ‘will’ – please refer to SrI tyAgarAja kRti ‘nI cittamu nA bhAgyamu’ – rAga vijayavasanta.
General – According to great hari-kathA exponent Brahma Shri TS Balakrishna Sastrigal, this song was sung by SrI tyAgarAja after the Lord visited his house one evening together with sITa and AnjanEya in the garb of an old couple and a young sanyAsi (respectively). According to him, SrI tyAgarAja spoke to the Lord throughout the night without offering any proper seat or food and when they left early in the morning next day, he beheld them as Lord rAma, sItA and AnjanEya. Regretting his action of not showing proper respect to the Lord, SrI tyAgarAja sang this song asking the Lord to relax in his heart.
