Meaning:
In this song, Annamaacaarya praises the beauty and charm of Lord VenkaTEshwara. When the Lord walks
gracefully, the camphor on his body sprinkles and as the goddess sits on his lap it seems as if he is covered
by moonlight. The glittering ornaments worn by the Lord join the charisma of the goddess and seem like a
lightning joins hands with the glitter and charisma.

Meaning (word-word): Adapted from Tenneti Rao’s Blog:
http://tenneti-rao.sulekha.com/blog/post/2010/09/meaning-of-okapari-kokapari-song-annamayya-kirtana.htm

Time and again (“okapari- kokapari”), when the Lord is gracefully (“oyyaaramai”) walking, it seems
that in his face (“mogamuna”), many beautiful rays (“kaLalenni”) have sprouted (“molaci”) and
existed thus (“natlunde”).

okapari = once; kokapari = a different time; oyyaaramai = with grace, gracefully;
mogamuna = on the face; kaLalenni = many a ray, many beauties (cf. moon has sixteen distinct phases of
beauty, sixteen degrees of beauty); molaci = as if sprouted; natlunde = exist thus;

When the Lord of the world (“jagadEka-pati”) walks gracefully, the camphor dust (“karpuura-dhuLi”)
on his body (“mEna”) sprinkles (“callina”) and spreads sparkling light (“jigigona”) on all four
directions (“naluvanka”). As the goddess AlameluManga with the moon-like face (“mogi
candramukhi”) sits on his chest (“uramuna gaana”) it seems (“natlunde”) as if his body is brimming
(“pogaru”) and drenched (“digabOsi”) with moonlight (“vennela”).

jagadEka = the only one in (for) the world; pati = husband, ruler; mEna = on body; callina = sprinkled,
showered; karpuura = camphor; dhuLi = dust, fine grains;
jigigona = shining, sparkling with light; naluvanka = on all four sides; cindagaanu = spread all around;
mogi = complete, total, encompass, attempt, determined; candramukhi = moon like face; uramuna = in the
chest; nilicE = exist, occur, dwell, be extant, be latent; gaana = it’s so, because; pogaru = proud, bubbling,

brimming over; vennela = moonlight; digabOsi = spreading downwards, drenched in a water fall,
downpour; natlunde = it is like that;

The glittering (“meraya”) ornaments (“simgaaramugaanu”) worn (“dhariyincaga”) on the body
(“mEna”) of the Lord Venkateshwara and his plentiful (“tarachaina”) wealth (“sommulu”) join
(“kuuDi”) the charisma of the beautiful goddess (“boNi”) Alamelu Manga, and seem like (“nattunDe”),
the Goddess (“taanu”) as lightning (“merupu”) joining hands with the glitter and making the his dark
cloud (“mEghamu”) like form instantly bright (“merasi”).

meraya = shining; Sri Venkatesu = Lord Venkateswara(‘s), the Lord of Seven Hills, who is always willing
to remove hardships in life; mEna = on the (His) body; simgaaramugaanu = as an ornament, as
decorations; tarachaina = plentiful, in abundance; sommulu = monies, wealth, goods, jewels; dhariyincaga
= (having) worn; merugu = glittering; bONi = beautiful lady; alamElu mangaya = Alamelumanga, consort
of Lord Venkatesa; taanu = herself; merupu = lightning; mEghamu = cloud; kuuDi = coupled with,
together; merasi = shone, suddenly became bright like a lightning; nattunDe = it is so!

Comments: This is an unusual beginning for a kharaharapriya krithi – starting from the D area and with nyaasa (resting) at P, S
and M. Nice dheergam at P. In a couple of quick moves the whole arohana/avarohana is covered, but starting at D and ending at
P. The phrases “dndp”, “mgpm” which interconnect the resting notes provide a new aesthetic base for sangatis. Note how the janta
at M (oiyaara) adds to the weight of the subsequent P.
Compare this kharaharapriya with other tyagaraja krithis (eg: Chakkaniraja, Ramaneesamana, Rama Nee yeda which start at R or
S). Krithis closer to this emphasis are “Jaanakipate” (Papanasam sivan) or “Pakkala Nilabadi” (pallavi only).

Tala/Laya: Eduppu at ½ beat (i.e. 2 aksharas).The laya proceeds as 2-6-4-4 | 6-2-4-4 || The 6s amidst the 4s add variety and odd
counts in the progression: each of the 6s is broken into two 3s (dN-dP and Rg-M, ). The overall idea is to mix 2-6s with 4-4 to fill up
lengths of 8 and come back to samam every second beat. The 2-6 structure is also a convenient way to accommodate the eduppu at
½ beat.

Comments: The “P; ;; ;” in the end of the line is developed into “P; D; N”. This reinforces the focus on the small anuswara
gamakas around M, D and N (rather than the big gamakas characteristic of kharaharapriya at G and N). Notice also the final
connecting note to reach “okapari” is “N” instead of “P”. The gamaka for N is therefore the small oscillation – to allow the next
note to be D.

developments also show new gamakas at G while keeping its role subdued as the song moves between M and S or between R and M.

Comments: The second half is developed from “rgMM P;””rg NDP;” and “rgmpdNDP” characteristic raga phrases.

… that in his face (“mogamuna”), many beautiful rays (“kaLalenni”) have sprouted (“molaci”) and existed thus (“natlunde”).

Comments: The beginning of this line transposes dNdP into dNpD for a quick stop at D and to be able to move upwards to rest at S
(instead of P in “okapari”). The notes underlying “Molicina” (roughly, dN-ndpM) are similar to that of “okapari” (dNdP), but now
resting at M (instead of P in “okapari”) – good ideas for alapana. Also note the brief stop at R and serene finish at P for
(“TluNDE”) and connecting to the D starting point for “okapari”. With these two lines we have seen how the raga can rest at S, R,
M, P, D, S; with unusual gamaka emphasis at N and subdued G.

Tala/Laya: The laya proceeds as 2-6-6-2 | 6-2-4-4 || Note the increased emphasis on the 2+6 pattern in the first half (“kaLalella”)
instead of the 4-4 (“kokapari”) in the prior sahitya line.

Comments: The initial part of the line is developed here. The connecting phrase “mgpm grgs” is replaced with another
connector“mp Dnd p-grgs” (note how the gRgS space has been adjusted down to fit it in 3 aksharas instead of 4). In the
developments of the first half, we learn about the different ways of connecting M to S with one bend (either mgpm or mpDndp or mg
pmmg).

Comments: Further development upstairs to “gRS,S” and fast connector “dpmgrs-rgmp” picking up as a dhatu from M. Notice how
the final phrase gently connects to D (“okapari”) by ending at P even in a fast phrase.

Comments: Rhyming, simple musical structure characteristic of chananas in devotional samkirthanas – makes it easy and appealing
to pick up. The music rests at PM, GR, M, P, D. The D-ending connects to the N of “jagadEka”. Contrast this with the P-endings
connecting to D in the pallavi. Also note the swaraksharam at P = “poora”.

Tala/Laya: 2-6-2-6 | 2-6-2-6 || Note the repetitive symmetry after the edduppu: 6-2 = ”tha-dheem-tha-dheem-Tha” in “jagadE-ka”,
“patimE-na”, “jallina-kaT”, ”pooradoo-Li”. Since the words straddle this pattern (eg: “jagadEkapati” and “kaTpoora”) it is
important to vocalize/emphasize the words.

Comments: Gamaka for G at the sangati beginning is a quick oscillation (r-m-G) since prev. line ended at grsr. This is symmetrical
to the gamaka for N in “okapari” (d-s-N) and begins the journey back to the pallavi.
