Annamaiah, in this song, says that devotion to Lord Venkatesa only bestows peace of mind, washes away all sins, and dispels all evil thoughts.
| P |
sakala Santi karamu sarvESa neepai bhakti sarvESa
prakaTa mai mAku nabbe batikimchu nidiye sarvESa || |
Oh lord of the universe, devotion to you bestows abundant peace of mind.
We are blessed with devotion to you.
That only sustains us.

| C1 |
Manasulo pApabuddhi mariyenta dalachina
ninudalachinamtane neeraunu
kanugonna paapamulu kaDalEni vainaanu
ghanuDa ninnu joochite kaDaku dolagunu || |
All the evil thoughts rising in mind vanish the moment we think of you.
Even the endless sins vanish if we see the great lord.
|
| C2 |
cheta nanTi pAtakAlu sEnagAne jEsinAnu
Atala neeku mrokkitE nanniyu bAyu
ghAtala jevula vinagA nanTina pApamu
neetiTo nee katha vinTE nimishAna bAyunu || |
I did innumerable sins, but they disappear if I take refuge in you.
Sin of hearing ghastly crimes is dispelled the moment your stories are heard sincerely.
|
| C3 |
kAyamuna jEsETi karmapu pApamu lella
kAyapunee mudrala chE grakkuna veeDu
yEyeDa vEnkatESa yEyE pAtaka maina
laya maina nee SaraNA gatichE naNugu || |
Sins committed by body are washed away by the stamping of your symbols sankha (conch) and chakra (discus).
Even the ghastly sins are dispelled away by surrendering to the Lord Venkatesa.
