Pallavi

Valla kathanaka Sita Vallabh brova na

Anu Pallavi

Valla nadi bhatha charitha mella vrayenalara

Charanam

Sthambhamunanu tharumaruguna dimbuda Yasoda oodini,
Dambudaina muchkundani tasi maruguthsu
Sambhavinchi yuga yugamuna sarasa Thyagaraja vinutha,
Kumbhaka rechaka vidhulanu kori brosinaavu naa

English translation

Pallavi

Oh husband of Sita, never tell me that you cannot save me

Anupallavi

Why should I write the story of the devotes whom you saved

Charanam

From within a pillar, from behind the tree*, as a child,
In the lap of Yasoda, appearing and vanishing from the proud Muchkunda,
You have been happening from ages to ages,
And those you know you know Khumbaka and Rechaka**,
And Thyagaraja says , that , all this was ,
To satisfy the requests of your devotees.

Note. *He appeared as Narasimha from inside the pillar and as the naughty Krishna from behind the tree.
**Kumbaka and Rechaka are yogic inhalation and exhalation.
