indariki abhayambu


In this song, Annamaiah praises the benevolent hand of Sri Venkatesa that performed great deeds in various incarnations as Matsya, Varaha, Narasimha, Vaamana, Rama, etc.

This is the hand that protects from all fears. This is the unblemished golden hand.

C1

This is the hand that recovered precious Vedas (Matsya). This is the hand that lifted Mandara mountain in the rain (Krishna). This is the hand that rescued the goddess earth (Varaha). This hand has smartly destroyed Hiranyakasipu with its sharp nails (Narasimha).

C2

This is the hand that sought charity from the king Bali (Vamana). This is the hand of Parasurama that defeated the arrogant Kshetriyas and bestowed those Kingdoms to the kings that stood for Dharma. This is the hand that threatened the ocean with the tip of his arrow (Rama). This is the hand that held the plough (Balarama). ||

C3

This is the hand that protected the dignity of pious women from the hands of demon Narakasura. This is the hand that reins the horse (Kalki). This is the hand of Sri Venkatachalapati that shows the way to attain salvation.
