In the kRti ‘vADErA daivamu’ – rAga pantuvarALi (tALa Adi), SrI tyAgarAja asserts to his mind that SrI rAma
only is The God.
P: O My Mind (manasA)! He alone (vADErA) is The God (daivamu).
A: O My Mind! Only He is The God, who has (kaligina) everlasting (Acandra arkamuga) (AcandrArkamuga)
(literally as long as there are moon and Sun) fame (kIrti),
as (anucunu) ‘He does not fail (tappaDu) (tappaDanucunu) in His word’ (ADina mATalu) (literally word uttered).
C1: O My Mind! Only He is the God, who appeared (velasina) in the form (rUpamutO) of wielder (pANi) of the bow
kOdaNDa in order to -
subdue (aNacanu) the arrogance (madamu) (madamaNacanu) of numerous (daNDi) demons (rakkasula) and
protect (pAlimpanu) indra (AkhaNDala) and other (Adi) (AkhaNDalAdi) celestials (sura kOTlanu) and pious people
(sujanula) of this Earth (bhU) sphere (maNDala).
C2: O My Mind! Only He is The God who appeared (velasina) with the name (nAmamutOnu) ‘rAma’ -
ford (tAraka) for crossing (dATi) (literally by crossing) the Ocean (nIradhi) of Worldly Existence (bhava) and
attaining (anduTaku) liberation (mOkshamu) (mOkshamanduTaku)
in which Lord Siva – the wearer (dharuDu) of (crescent) Moon – enemy (ari) of Lotus (nIraja) (nIrajAri) initiates
(upadESincE) (dharuDupadESincE) ignorant people (ajnulaku) who do not (lEni) know (teliya) the right path
(dAri).
C3: O My Mind! Only He is The God,
who is praised (vinutuDaina) by Lord brahmA (dhAtR),
who having been worshipped (pUjalu andi) (pUjalandi) by the very hands (cEta) of Lord Siva - tyAgarAja
(tyAgarAjuni), and
who having nicely (bAguga) born (janinci) in the Solar (pradyOtana) dynasty (anvayamunanu)
(pradyOtanAnvayamunanu),
has (kaligina) the name (pEru) as (ani) ‘Consort (pati) (patiyani) of sItA’.
