English meaning
Pallavi
Why is it that still, you are not kind to me, Oh God who sleeps on the snake, Oh divine one?
Charanam
1. I have expired and then taken birth in very many wombs,
In very many countries at very many times,
And having fallen in the hell of “me” and “mine”,
(Show pity) on this devotee who trusts you to be his only refuge
2. I am the lowly sinner overwhelmed by
The darkness of six enemies such as desire
O Enchanter of Maa (Lakshmi), O Father of Chittaja (Manmatha)
(Show pity) on this devotee who believes your name to be the only haven
2. I have offered all that I have done,
By mind, speech and body to you, Oh Demon-slayer,
And whatever I do , Oh Lord my soul is yours,
Oh Lord of Lakshmi , why are you still not kind,
On this servant of Puradara Vittala
Translations to English of the lyrics of Krithis of Carnatic music , which are tomes of devotion.
A wonderful composition that points out the insignificance of our many rebirths, paying homage to the ultimate and eternal Supreme Being - never fails to bring tears to my eyes. Thank you for the translation.

Deleteஇன்னு தய பாரதே தாசனா மேலே
அனுபல்லவி
பன்னகா சயனா ஶ்ரீ
பரம புருஷ, ஹரியே
சரணம் 1
நானா தேஷகளல்லி, நானா காலகளல்லி
நானா யோனிகளல்லி, நளிது புட்டி
நானு நன்னது எம்ப நரகதோளகே பித்து
நீனே கதிஎந்து நம்பித தாசனமேலே
சரணம் 2
மனோவ காயதிந்தா மாடுவ கர்மாக்களெல்லா
தானவாந்தக நினகெ தானா வித்தே
ஏனு மாடிதரேனூ ப்ராண நின்னது ஸ்வாமி
ஶ்ரீநாத புரந்தர நம்பித தாசன மேலே
Namaskaram.
