Show Details		1. I shall always worship Your Holy feet; I shall propitiate You in privacy.


2. I shall embrace You to my heart’s content; I shall worship You quenching all my thirsts.

3. I shall behold You to the satiation of my eyes; I shall extol You such that my body would feel horripilation.

4. I shall reach rolls of betel leaves at every step; I shall gently make You speak by adhering to You.

5. I shall conduct myself by understanding the signal of Your eyes; O Lord Rama! I shall leave far behind all my wants.

6. I shall forget the objects of senses etc. born of ignorance; O Lord Sri Rama! I shall melt Your heart by showing affection.

7. I shall serve in Your holy presence by demanding again and again; I shall call seeking You while fanning You with a fan.

8. Subsequently, I shall press Your thighs by offering my body; I shall meditate with feeling without being separated from You.

9. I shall give my consent in my own hand writing; O Lord Sri Rama! Please command me to give scented betel leaves.

10. Would such a thing be possible to attain even for Brahma that, in this World, I becoming effulgent, You have become myself.

11. Truly, I cannot bear this disgrace; O Lord Sri Rama! Hold my hand much.


12. Please understand my entreaty by cue; Is this Thyagaraja different other than being Your’s?

[edit] Commentary

  • General – the whole Kriti is in the Bhava of Kanta-Asakti – love of God as that of a wife – please refer to Narada Bhakti Sutra 82. Please refer to wordings of CharaNa 11 wherein he says ‘ceTTa paTTu’ which literally means ‘marry me’.
  • 1pAmara viSayAdula maratu – I shall forget the ignorance-born sense objects; suraTicE visarucu pilutu – I shall call You while fanning with a fan; mEnosagi toDalananutu – I shall press Your thighs by offering my body.
    • In this regard, the following Narada Bhakti Sutra is relavant –
    • “Bhakti (described before as Parama Prema or Supreme Love) is not of the nature of lust, because it is a form of renunciation.” (7) “Such indeed was the bhakti of the Gopis of Vraja.” (21) “Had they lacked this knowledge of the object the Divinity of the object of their love, their love would have been similar to the base passion of a mistress for her paramour.” (23) “There, ie., in that profane love of the mistress for her paramour, her happiness does not at all consist in the happiness of the other.” (24) (Translationsby Swami Tyagisananda)
    • It needs to be noted that Sri Thyagaraja has first made the statement ‘I shall forget the ignorance-born sense objects.’ Once the sense objects drop off, the love that remains cannot be seen in the light of common sexual love.
    • Please refer to ‘The Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna’, Chapter 23 for complete information of what divine love means.
  • 3nIvE nEnaina - Sarupya - “Gajendra was by the touch of the Supreme Lord instantly freed from the ignorance of being bound and had achieved the selfsame form with four arms and yellow garments (Sarupya-Mukti)....” (SB.VIII.4.6) [Bhagavatam]
    • To know more about the four stages - sAlOkya, sAmIpya, sArUpya and sAyujya, the Vaishnavaite zESatva-dAsatva, please visit site - [Sarupya]
  • 4tALa jAla raTTu –A cry of anguish in this Charana means that the previous statement (nIvE nEnaiana - sArUpya) is an expectation only and not an accomplishment, though the wordings seem to mean accomplishment.
