Composer: Tyagaraja

Version: Peri Sriramamurthy

Pallavi:

Sangeetha Gnyanamu Bhakti Vinaa Sanmaargama Galadhe Manasa

Anupallavi:

Brungi Natesha Sameeraja Ghataja

Mataanga Naaradhadulusimche

Charanam:
Nyaya Nyayamulu Delusunu Jagamulu Mayamayamane Delusunu Durguna

Kaayajaathi Shadripula Jayinche

Karyamu Delusunu Tyagarajunutha

Meaning: (From TK Govinda Rao’s Book)

O Mind (“Manasa”)! Mere knowledge (“gnyanamu”) of music (“sangeetha”) without (“vinaa”) devotion (“bhakthi”) can never lead (“galadhe”) to the right (“san”) path (“maargamu”).

Lord Nataraaja (“natesha”), Anjaneeya (son of the wind -- “sameer” “aja”), sages like Brungi, Agastya (“ghatajaa -- born from a pot”), Maatanga and Naarada worship you through music (“simche”), saturated with devotion. Is there a supreme mode of worship?

Tyagaraaja knows how(“delusunu”) to discriminate right (“Nyaya Nyamu”) and wrong (“durguna”). He is also aware that this world (“jagamulu”) is unreal and transient (“mayamayamane”). He has found the way to conquer (“jayinche”) the six (“shad”) inward enemies (“ripula”) like lust, attachment, anger (“kaayajaadi”) etc. Yet he is fully convinced that there is no other way to salvation than knowledge of music (“kaaryamu delusunu”) integrated with unalloyed devotion.
