Kana Kan Kodi Vendum

Ragam Madhyamavathi

Translated by

P.R.Ramachander

Kaana kan kodi vendaamo-Paramacharyali ,

Kaana  kan Kodi Vendamo (Nam periyavalai)

To see don’t  you need crores of eyes-To see Paramacharya,

To see don’t  you need crores of eyes (To see our  Paramacharya,)

1.Oru mani japam  Bhakthar  Iru vinai theerthidum  ,

Paramanin   smaranamo   Paavangal pokkidum,

Devarum   thedidum thiru nethra   darisanam,

Yaavarum  yetridum  yengal dayalanai

1.One hour chant would  remove  result  of good and bad acts ,

But thought  of that  divine one , would remove all sins ,

To see     that  merciful one ,whom  even  devas search 

To see that one   praised by all  (Crores of eyes ..)

2.Varam tharum iru karam , vanangidum yen manam  ,

Surar narar   pothridum  Sri charanal padam,

Arum thava neriyinsi , arinthida oar idam,

Advaitha sidhiyai  arulidum thiru  ulam ( Kana kan kodi..)

My mind would bow   before  his  two hands  giving boons  ,

The feet of that  Sri Charana   is praised by devas and humans  ,

He is the place to know   the practice  of the rare  penance  ,

His  divine mind   would tell us  about principles of Advaitha. To see him  (  Crores of our eyes..)

4,Kaladi  SAnkarar  thaal  aadi paninthu  -thaan,

Kaladi padithida   Bharatham nadanthu,

Karunai kadal  yena   kakshiyum koduthu  ,

Anjal yendru thanjam  , thandhidum devanai  (kana kan kodi,,)

After saluting the feet of Sankara   of  Kaladi  ,

He walked  round India   marking his steps everywhere,,

After  giving his holy darsan  that  ocean of mercy  ,

That  deva  gave protection saying “do not get sacred”.to see him (Crores of eye..)

5.Vedangal ongida   vindaikal purindhavar .

Vadhangal   oynthida    vazhi murai alithavar  ,

Kalai  magal roopame  , karunya moorthiye,

Parameshwarane , param porulr –ummai (Kana kan kodi..)

He did magic so that  Vedas    would rise  up,

He chalked out the way, when debates rose  ,

He is the form of goddess  of knowledge , He is a form of kindness ,

He is  the greatest God  , he is the divine vision-to see him (Crores of eyes..)
