telisina vAriki teruvidi




In this song Annamaiah asserts that emancipation is possible for Vishnu devotees only.

P
telisina vAriki teruvidi mari lEdu
naLiNAkshu bogiDeDi nAmamu lO nunnadi ||

The wise know that there is beatitude in prasing the Lord's name only and that it is nowhere else.

C 1

AkASAna lEdu mOkShamaTu pAtALamuna lE
deekaDa bhoolOka mandu endu lEdu
paikoni ASalella pAra dOli vedakitE
Sree kAntu bogaDETi chittamu lOnunnadi ||

There is no emancipation in the sky or in the nether world or in this world. It can be found only in the hearts of those who sing the praise of the Lord with detached mind.

C 2
surala vadda lEdu SOdhincha namrutamu
sari dikkulandu lEdu jaladhi lO lEdu
SaraNAgatula pAdajalamulu chErchi konE
haridAsula poojinchE arachEta nunnadi ||

There is no Amrutam with Devatas or in the ocean or anywhere else. It is only in the holy water flowing from the feet of those devotees who totally surrendered to Venkatesa and on the palms of the worshippers of Venkatesa.

C 3
rAjasAna sukhamEdi dAsi karmamandu nEdi
voja tODa niyatudai unDE vAnidi
sAjAni Sree venkaTESu sari mudralu dharinchE
tEjamutO vijnAna dEhamulO nunnadi ||

Is there happiness in kingship or in servitude to others? It is only in the hearts of the deligent. True happiness exists only in the wise who whole heartedly accept the Vaishnava emblems(Sankha and Chakra) on their bodies.
