Noble Thought # 82

 

Appa rama bhakti yento goppara ma

Trippatalanu teerchi Kanti Reppa Valenu Kachu ma

Lakshmi Devi Valachuna

Lakshmanundu Koluchuna

Sukshma Bhuddi Gala Bharathudu

Juchi Juchi Solasunaa Ma

Sabhari Yengili Icchuna

Chandra Dharudu Mecchuna

Abala Swayamprabhaku Daiva

Macala Padavinicchuna Ma

Kapi Varidhi Datuna

Kaliki Rota Kattuna

Aparadhi Tyagaraju

Kananadamu Hechuna Ma

Appa rama bhakti yento goppara ma

 

Devotion to Rama is indeed very great

It brings an end to the wanderings of the mind and protects the devotee like the eye-lids

Would Lakshmi Devi so fervently love Him?

Would Lakshmana serve Him with such dedication?

Would Bharata, having a sharp intellect, feel ecstatic by beholding Him again and again?

Would Sabari offer already-tasted food?

Would Siva extol Him?

Would the Lord bestow eternal state to the lass Swayamprabha?

Can a monkey leap across the mighty ocean?

Can an ordinary woman tie the Lord to a mortar?

Can bliss be heightened for this sinner Thyagaraja?

Devotion to Rama is indeed very great

 

Saint Tyagaraja
