Pallavi:

Tera Teeyagarada Naaloni

Tirupathi Venkataramana ! Matsaramanu

Anupallavi:

Paramapurrusha Dharmaadi Mokshamula

Paaradolucunnadi Naaloni

Charanam:

Vaaguramani Teliyaga Mruga Ganamulu

Vacchi Tagulu Reethi Nunnadi

Vegame Ni Matamunanusarinchina

Tyagaraajanuta ! Madamatsaramanu

Meaning: (From TK Govinda Rao’s book)

Lord Tirupathi Venkata Ramana! Cannot (“raadaa”) you lift (“teeyaga”) the veil (“Tera”) of jealousy (“Matasaramanu”) in me(“Naaloni”) ?

It prevents me from attaining (“paaradoluchunadi”) the four fold blessings of right conduct, taintless wealth, genuine love for humanity and unalloyed devotion to God which leads to salvation: DHARMA, ARTHA, KAMA, MOKSHA.

Like (“reethi”) animals (“mruga”) caught (“vacchi tagulu”) in the net (“vaaguramani”) unguardedly (“teliyaga”), my eyes are blinded by this veil of jealousy. Knowing that this Tyagaraja seeks to act in consonance (“Anusarinchina”) with your Will (“Ni Maata”), cannot you lift the weil?
