sakalOpAsakulaku

P sakalOpAsakulaku nandunu suguNambE pramANamu
sakala muneendrulu pujinchE ee sAkArame pramANamu ||
Manifested form of the Almighty is the Supreme authority for all worshippers. Great sages adhered to that type of worship.So, only manifested form is proof.
C 1 saguNambani ninu kondaru sari nirguNamani kondaru
vagala pekkugati jadivina koladula vArikivArE vAdinturu
agaNita swatantruDavugAna ala vAlmeeki iTTiTTanakE
agu nirguNAya guNAtmanE yani Anati ichuTE pramANamu ||
Some say that the Almighty is manifested with attributes and some say that He is devoid of attributes. As the Almighty is absolutely independent, sage Valmiki unequivocally declared that Rama is embodiment of virtues without evils. That is itself proof.
C 2 sOhambani kondaru dAsOhambani kondaru
sAhasa vruttula renDu terangula sakala vivEkulu bhajinturu
dEhadhAriyai dAsOhambani tEri SukuDu meelOgalase
sOhapu bhAvana sarva jagattula jupinadE pramANamu ||
Some learned pundits say that individual self (jeevatma) and the supreme soul(paramatma) are not two. But some say that self is sub-servient to the supreme soul. Great sage Suka worshipped you and merged with you. What proof others can give?
C 3 Aru SAstramula nArumatambula Aru karmamulanainanu
eereetila mimu SaraNani koluvaka evvari kupAyamu lEdu
nAradAdulagu bhaktulindarunu nAnAgatularasi choochi
sArapu Sree vEnkaTapati meekE SaraNanuTE pramANamu ||
Some learn all the six Sastras, know the six faiths and perform the six Karmas but they have no other go than surrendering to You. Narada and other sages explored various means but ultimately surrendered to Sri Venkatesa the quintessence of truth. That is itself real proof.
