[edit] Charanam
vatsamu veNTa dhEnuvu canunO Show DetailsvAridamunu kani pairulu canunO 2matsya kaNTiki viTuDu veDalunO mahini tyAgarAja vinuta rammu telpumu (tanaya) | Would the cow go behind the calf? would the crops go looking for the cloud? would the paramour go to (the place of) his woman? O Lord praised by this Tyagaraja! please come and tell me; in the Earth, would the mother come to protect her child or would be child approach the mother? |
[edit] Commentary
- 1I rahasyamunu – this secret – refers to the questions posed in Charana.
- 2matsya kaNTi – matsya akSi – (literally Fish Eyed).
- The answer to the three questions posed in Charana are ‘no’ – the cow does not go behind the calf – the cow leads; crops do not go on the look out of clouds – the clouds come; the paramour does not go to the place of his beloved – she comes to him. The implication is that the Lord should be benevolent to the devotee, otherwise any amount of effort by the devotee will not fructify.
