Korina Varam-Osagu

Lyrics

Notation

From Shivkumar Kalyanaraman (shivkumar.org)

Pallavi:
Korina Vara Mosagumaiyya Kodandapaani

Anupallavi:
Va(ra)rijasthra Janaka Sri Vatsanga Nishtaranga

Charanam:
Sarivarilona Nannu Chouka Seya Valadu Needu (Nindu ?)
Marupu Jochi Yunnaanu Manamutho Kaapaadunu
Parichara Vanara Samuha Papaharana Varivaha
Kari Rakshaka Varada Venkateshwaranura Ninne

Meaning: (approximate)
P: O Kodandapani (Rama – who holds (pani) the bow-Kodanda)! Please give (“mosagumu-aiyya”) me the boons
(wishes) I ask (“Korina”) of you.

A: You gave birth (“janaka”) to Brahma – who is seated (“Astra”) in a lotus (Varija).
You have the mark (Srivatsa) on your chest (anga) where mother Lakshmi (Sri) is seated.
You are the lord (ranga) of righteousness (Nishta).

C: Will you get time (“valadu needu”) to look after me (“nannu chouka seya”) amongst the legions of devotees
(“Sarivarilona”) you have?
I keep thinking of you (“Marupu Jochi Yunnanu”). Please save me (“Kaapaadu”) with honor (“Manamutho”). You
are like the water bearing cloud (“varivaha”) that rains and washed away the sins (“papaharana”) of the entire
monkey tribe (“parichara vanara samuha”) – a reference to how Rama saved Sugreeva and helped them re-
establish their kingdom.
You protected (“rakshaka”) the elephant (“kari” – reference to Gajendra). I pray to you O Lord who gives boons
(“Varada”) Sri Venkateshwara… Please give me the boons I ask of you.
