Charanam

1.Oh Rama, without hearing my request , if you are thinking, I would not leave you Rama ,

Oh very purifying one, Oh Lord whose names make us get salvation ,The store house of good characters,

Oh Consort of Sita, Oh father of Lord Brahma, Oh lotus eyed  one who followed the  words of his father ,

Oh Lord saluted by sage Sanaka, you are  my  wealth.

2.Sura muni vara nutha   sarasamutho  nannu,

Garuninchithe   neethu thandri   sommu,

Veravaka poneradhu endhuku  vadhu,

Hari ganadhipa  paricharakama-

Chara parathpara   tharamugaadhiga,

Jarana  Bhakthi  vitharanamuga nee,

THarunamithi  srikara daradhipa.

2.Oh Lord Saluted by great devas and sages, if joyfully you show  mercy on me  , your inherited wealth,

Would not go waste, why are you scared? What is the necessity   for argument?

Oh Lord who has  monkey chief as friend, Who travels inside the Vedas, Ogh God of gods,

I cannot now tolerate it , this  is the proper time for you   to gift me,

The devotion to your feet , Oh doer of auspiciousness  , Oh Lord  of the earth.

3. Dhanamadhamuna  nundu  janulanu  nenu yaa-,

Chana   seyagalenuraa, Thyagaraja  ,

Vinutha   Karuna SAgara   sameera,

Thanaya sevitha  dhanadhanutha saj-

Jana  manohara ghanarava   swara,

Manasu   chalaa  vinadhuraa yi,

Thanuvu  needhanu  vinuthi jesadha.

3.I cannot beg from  people who are  filled with pride due to their riches,

Oh Lord worshipped by Thyagaraja, Oh ocean of mercy  who is served by son of wind God,

Who is being worshipped by God of riches, Who steals the heart of good people,

Who has voice similar to the roar of the clouds, Whatever you tell my mind will not obey,

And  I am saluting you saying this my body   is yours.
