Pallavi:
Jnaana Mosaga Raadaa Garuda Gamana Vaadaa

Anupallavi:
Nee Naamamuche Naa Madi Nirmalamainadi

Charanam:
Paramaatmudu Jeevaatmudu Padinaalugu Lokamulu Nara Kinnara Kimpurushulu Naaradaadi Munulu
Paripoorna Nishkalanka Niravadhi Sukha Daayaka Vara Tyaagaraajarchita Vaaramu Taanane

Meaning: (From TK Govinda Rao’s book)

Lord! Should not (“raada”) grant (“mosaga”) me wisdom (“Jnana”) and redeem me?
 O the rider (“gamana”) on Garuda!
Are you cross with me (“Vaada”)?
Constantly chanting your (“nee”) name (“naamamu”) has made (“mainadi”) my (“naa”) mind
(“madi”) pure and stainless (“nirmala”).
So, cant you initiate me (“Vaaramu taanane”) into the ultimate advaitic doctrine so that I may realize
and experience the unity of the Supreme Paramaatmaa (“Paramaatmudu”) and the individual Jeevatma
(“Jeevaatmudu”); and identify myself with the entire creation of the fourteen (“padinaalugu”) worlds
(“lokamulu”), human beings (“nara”) and celestials like Kinnaraas, Kimpurushaas (“Kinnara
Kimpurushulu”) and sages (“munulu”) like Naarada?
O Supreme and Perfect (“paripurna”)! O the Impeccable one (“nish-kalanka”)!
Bestower (“daayaka”) of eternal (“niravadi”) Bliss (“sukha”)! The one prayed (“archita”) to by
tyagaraja!
