kAsunu vetukaga kanna ratnamu rIti

Show Details		In the same manner as one finds a precious stone
while searching for a coin, isn’t that You have been
found in order to remove (my) faults?

ambali tinu vELa amRtamabbina rIti
tumburu sannuta dorigitivi kAni (nannu)
Show Details		In the same manner as one gets nectar while eating
porridge, isn’t that You have been found, O Lord
well-praised by tumburu – the King of celestials musicians?

ceyyalisina vELa teppa doraku1 rIti
ayya nA pAliTigamaritivi2 kAni (nannu)
Show Details		O Lord! In the same manner as a boat is found
when one’s hands are tired (of swimming),
isn’t that You have fittingly become my share?

ADa pOyina tIrthameduraina rIti
IDu jODu lEni iSTuDavaitivi (nannu)
Show Details		In the same manner as the holy waters, in which
one was going to take bath, confronted him,
You have become the peerless God of my liking.

[edit] Charanam 5

siggu pOvu vELa cIralabbina rIti3
oggiga mAyiNTiki vaccitivi kAni (nannu)
Show Details		In the same manner as draupapdi got sarees
when she was about to lose her honour,
isn’t that You heedingly came to our house?

Agama nigama cayArthamu nIvani

O Lord praised by this Tyagaraja! O Lord Rama!
