chadiviti tolli - Sri - Adi

P chadiviti tolli chadivEninkA konta
yediri ninneraganu yentaina nayyO ||
I already read much and I'll read further . Alas, I did not recognise your glory.
C 1 vorula dooshintu gAni vokamAraina nA
durita karmamulanu dooshinchanu
parula navvudugAni palu yOni koopamula
narakapu nAmEnu navvukOnu ||
I abuse others but I do not hate my own sins even once. I laugh at others but I do not lough at my repeated births in this hell-like world.
C 2 lOkula kOpintugAni lOni kAmAdulanETi
gAka Satrula meeda kaDu kOpincha
AkaDa buddhulu cheppi anyula bOdhintugAni
tEkuva nAlOni hari telusukOlEnu ||
I get angry with all others but I am not angry with my six internal enemies. I preach virtues to all but I am not able to recognise Lord Hari who is in me.
C 3 itarula durguNamu lenchi yenchi rOtugAni
matilO nAyAsalu mAnalEnu
gatigA Sri vEnkaTESugani bratikitigAni
tati ninnALLadAka talapOyanu ||
I point out evils in others but I can not give up my desires. Sri Venkatesa blessed me with this life but I am not keeping him in my mind all these days.
