gatulannikhilamaina
kaliyugamandunu gati
yithade chupepe
ghana gurudaivamu
In this kali age
where there is no way to be good,
He is the great
Guru who shows us the way.
Charanam
1. Itani karunaneka ila vaisnavula maiti
mItani vallane kanthi mI tirumanni
Ithade upadeshamiccenu Ashtakshari
Ithade upadeshamiccenu Ashtakshari
mantramu ithade
ramanujulu ihapara daivamu
1..It is due to his mercy I could become a Vaishnana ,
And due to him only
I could find the Thiruman,
He only taught me
the eight lettered divine manthra,
And he only is
Ramanuja , the god in this and the other world.
2: velayince nItade kaa Vedapu rahasyamulu
caliminathade
chupe sharanagati
nilipinalade kAnijamudradhaaNamu
nilipinalade kAnijamudradhaaNamu
malasi mAnuju Ithade daivamu
He is one who threw
light on the secret of Vedas,
And he is the one who showed path of surrender ,
And he was the
one who established the
wearing of Mudras,
And so he only
is the God among human beings.
3: niyamamulu Ithade kaa
nilipe prapannulaku
dayato mokshamu chupe taganiItadu
nayamai shrI Venkatesu nagamekke vakithanu
nayamai shrI Venkatesu nagamekke vakithanu
dayacuci mammunitte talli tanDri daivamu
3.Was he not the one who
established rules for Prapannas,
And he is the one
who showed salvation along with mercy ,
He is the one who
withhis knees climbed to temple of Venkatachala
And he is to us mother
as well as father to us.
