Manasa eduloruthunu na

By

Saint Thyagaraja

Translated by

P.R.Ramachander

Ragam Malaya marutham
Thalam Roopakam

Pallavi

Manasa edulorthunu na,
Manavi che konave

Anupallavi

Dinakara kula bhooshunani deenudavai bhajana chesi,
Dinamu kadupu manina nevu vinava vela guna viheena

Charanam

Kalilo rajasa thamasa gunamulu kalavari chelumi,
Kalasi melasi thiruguthsu mari kalamu kadapakane,
Sulabhamuka kada theranu suchanalanu theliya cheyu,
Ilanu thyaga raju mata vinavathela guna viheena

English translation

Pallavi
Oh mind, why are you not obeying me,
In spite of my requests

Anupallavi

Please sing the ornament of the clan of Sun god,
With great humility and spend your days,
At least please hear and obey this, Oh mind without any good

Charanam

You spend all your time in this kali age , by simply roaming,
And making friendship with people with regal and base qualities,
And Thygarja will tell you easy methods to attain salvation,
Sing about Rama, oh bad one . Can’t you reform hearing this?
