Charanam
nāraduḍu japiyiñce nārāyaṇa mantramu |
cēre prahlāduḍu nārasiṃha mantramu |
kōri vibhīṣaṇuḍu cēkone rāma mantramu |
vēre nāku galige vēṅkaṭēśu mantramu ||

raṅgagu vāsudēva mantramu dhṛvuṇḍu japiñce |
saṅgaviñce kṛṣṇamantramu arjunuḍunu |
muṅgiṭa viṣṇu mantramu mogi śukuḍu paṭhiyiñce |
viṅgaḍamai nāku nabbe vēṅkaṭēśu mantramu ||

inni mantramula kella indirānāthuḍe guri |
pannina didiyē parabrahma mantramu |
nannu gāva galigēbō nāku guruḍiyyagānu |
vennela vaṇṭidi śrī vēṅkaṭēśu mantramu ||

From Annamacharya lyrics blogspot:


Meaning
All mantras originated here, I got venkaTESa mantram from infancy itself

nArada chanted nArAyaNa mantram, prahlAda got nArasimha mantram
vibheeshaNa lovingly took up rAma mantram, I got venkaTESa mantram

dhruva got beautiful vAsudEva mantram, arjuna took up kRishNa mantram
Suka chanted vishNu mantram, I got venkaTESa mantram

All mantras aim at him, this is the mantram of the supreme being
The mantram given by my guru protects me, venkaTESa mantram is like moonlight to me

This composition captures the essence of the belief that chanting the name of a divine being (nAm japan) has the same power as chanting complex mantras to invoke them - even chanting 'ma rA' changed a thief ratnAkar into the poet-extraordinaire, vAlmIki. All the examples quoted in the kRti bear witness to this. It is also the reason why many Hindus name their children after the Gods in the pantheon - since we call out a child's name a million times in our lifetime, we will reap the rewards of that 'mantra', as attested by the story of ajAmiLa. Now, the entire purpose of this is defeated by shortening names (like nANi for nArAyaNa etc...) or using 'pet' names like Bunty or Bubli....

From a dancer/choreographer's perspective, this kRti should offer wonderful scope for sancAris.
