daivamA neeku

P daivamA neeku velitA talapu velitEgAka
vEvElu karmala vEsAraga valase ||
Oh my Lord, your grace is never deficient. We are deficient in devotion because we are vexed with thousands of 'Karmas'.
C 1 hariyanTE bApETi anni pApAlu sEsina
pOrinandupai nammika puTTadu gAka
narasimhayanTE vachche nAnA puNyAlaku
tiramugA ruNamulu deerchukonagalanA ||
By just uttering Hari's name all sins are eradicated. But I lack in strong faith. If you utter ' Narasimha' you are blessed with abundant piety. Oh Lord, can I repay you?
C 2 dEva jagannAdhA yanTE tegani janmamulEvi
kaivaSamu nAmanasu gAdugAka
gOvindayani yanTE kooDani padavulEvi
kAviri kAlamoorake gaDipEmu mEmu ||
If you chant 'Jagannadha' you'll be free from cycle of births and deaths. But my mind is not in my control. Would you not be blessed with countless positions and titles by uttering the name of Govinda. But we are whiling away our time in temporal pursuits.
C 3 vEdanArAyaNa yanTE veeDETi bandhamulu
AdigA mooDu lOkAla nainA nunnadA
SridEvi patiyaina Sri vEnkaTESwaruDA
yEdesa neevE nannu eeDErtuvugAka ||
If we utter "Veda Narayana" all our bondages are severed. Is there a greater power in all the three 'lokas' which is primordial?. Oh Lord Venkatesa the consort of Sridevi, you alone can bless me with emancipation.
