naTa nala bhramayaku

Annamacharya tells us that all the worldly pleasures and problems are our delusion. He asks us to seek Sri Venkateswara's grace, which is permanent.

P

naTa nala bhramayaku nA manasa
ghaTi yinchu hari yE kala vADu ||

oh my heart, don't be deluded by this worldly drama of life. Hari is there. He is the master mind.

C1

munchina jagamidi mOhini gajamu
ponchina yAsa puTTinchE didi
vanchanala nijamu valenA yunDunu
manchulu mAyalE marunADu ||

Gajendra sank in the mire of delusion. Desires are always with you. Deceit appears like truth. Dew disappears in no time.

C2

sari samsAramu santala kooTami
soridi bachAramu choopEDidi
garima neppuDu galakala manuchunDunu
marulagu vidhamE mApaTiki ||

This world is a fair with many commodities. This life is full of buzz with desires. All the greatness and splendour vanish overnight.

C3

kanduva dEhamu gAni mugiyadidi
andina bahu roopa mADEdidi
yendunu Sree vEnkaTeSwaru DunDunu
Dindu paDaga nide tera maragu||

The body wears out but the soul is eternal. Venkatesa is everywhere. Here is his hood and here is the curtain of illusion.
