P: O Lord vEnkaTa ramaNa of tirupati! Won’t You (rAdA) remove (tIyaga) my inner (lOni) screen (tera) of (anu) envy (matsaramu)
(matsaramanu)?
A: O Supreme (parama) Lord
(purusha)! It (envy) is driving away (pAra-dOlucunnadi)
purushArtha - the four-fold human pursuit - righteous
actions, (dharma) emancipation (mOkshamula) etc.
(Adi) (dharmAdi). Won’t You remove my (nA) inner (lOni) screen of envy?
C: It is (unnadi) as if (rItini) (rItinunnadi) herds (gaNamulu) of animals (mRga)
coming (vacci) and falling (tagulu)
into snare (vAguramu) without knowing (teliyaka) it to be so (ani) (vAguramani).
O Lord praised (nuta) by this
tyAgarAja who has adhered to (anusariJina)
Your (nI) path (matamunu)
(literally opinion) (matamunanusarincina)!
Therefore, O Lord vEnkaTa ramaNa of tirupati ! Won’t You quickly (vEgamE)
remove my inner screens of (anu) pride (mada) and
envy (matsaramu) (matsaramanu)?
Meaning:
(From TK Govinda Rao’s book)
Lord Tirupathi Venkata
Ramana! Cannot (“raadaa”) you lift (“teeyaga”) the veil (“Tera”) of jealousy (“Matasaramanu”) in me(“Naaloni”)
?
It prevents me from attaining (“paaradoluchunadi”)
the four fold blessings of right conduct, taintless
wealth, genuine love for humanity and unalloyed devotion to God which leads to
salvation: DHARMA, ARTHA, KAMA, MOKSHA.
Like (“reethi”) animals (“mruga”) caught (“vacchi tagulu”) in the net (“vaaguramani”)
unguardedly (“teliyaga”), my eyes are blinded by this
veil of jealousy. Knowing that this Tyagaraja seeks
to act in consonance (“Anusarinchina”) with your Will
(“Ni Maata”), cannot you lift the veil?
