Akati vela



Annamaiah says in this song that only the name of Venkatesa protects us from all difficulties, provides food, shelter, and security, and that even by chance, there is no other way.

P
 AkaTi vELala alapaina vELa lanu
tEkuva hari nAmamE dikku mari lEdu||

 When hungry, when exhausted, Hari's name is the only resort and there is no other way.

C1
 kora mAli yunna vELa kulamu cheDina vELa
cheravaDi yorula chE jikkina vELa
ora paina hari nAma mokkaTE gati gAka
marachi tappina naina mari lEdu teragu ||

 When in distress, when everything is lost, when imprisoned, Hari's name is the only savior. Even by chance there is no other way.

C2
 Apada vachchina AraDi baDina vELa
pApapu vEla bhaya paDina vELa
opinanta hari nAma mokkaTE gati gAka
mApu dAkA poralina mari lEdu teragu ||

 When confronted with difficulties, when overwhelmed by adverse times, Hari's name is the only consolation. Even if one struggles the whole day, there is no relief.

C3
 sankela beTTina vELa champa bilichina vELa
ankilagA nappula vArAgina vELa
venkatEshu namanE vidipincha gati gAka
manku buddhi boralina mari lEdu taragu ||

 When handcuffed and threatened by a killer, when lenders pester you at your door, only the name of Venkatesa gives you relief. Adamant attitude will not lessen the agony.
