பல்லவி
தந்தை தாயிருந்தால் உலகத்தில் உமக்கிந்தத் தாழ்வெல்லாம் வருமோ அய்யா பெற்ற (தந்தை)
அனுபல்லவி
அந்தமிகுந்த ஸ்ரீ அம்பல வாணரே அருமையுடனே பெற்று
பெருமையுடன் வளர்த்த (தந்தை)
சரணம்
கல்லால் ஒருவன் அடிக்க உடல் சிலிர்க்கக் காலின் செருப்பால் ஒரு வேடன் வந்தே உதைக்க
வில்லால் ஒருவன் அடிக்க (காண்டீபமெனும்) கூசாமல் ஒருவன் கைக் கோடாலியால் வெட்ட
கூட்டத்திலொருவன் பித்தா பேயாயெனத் திட்ட வீசி மதுரை மாறன் பிரம்பாலடிக்க
அந்த வேளை யாரை நினைந்தீரோ அய்யா (தந்தை)
Meaning
O Lord! Had you been endowed with Father and Mother (who bore You), would You have been subjected to these disgraces?
O Handsome Lord of cidambara! Had you been endowed with Father and Mother who bore You laboriously and brought up with pride, would You have been subjected to these disgraces?
While somebody pelts a stone at You, while someone else, to the horripilation, kicks You with a cappal, another one strikes with a bow called gANDiva, yet another, unflinchingly, cuts you with his hand-axe, somebody from the crowd abuses you 'mad' and 'ghost' and the King of madurA beats you flinging a cane - O Lord, prey tell me, whom did you think of at those times?

for a discussion and commentary on this song supposedly authored by Ponnaiah Pillai. I too thought it was by Ponnaiah Pillai but an expert corrected me and he said it is by Gopalakrishna Bharathi. He produced a second or third caraNam which has the mudra balakrishnan or gopalakrishnan. The expert is one Dr. Pasupathy from Toronto and I trust him to be an authority.

The song is indeed by GKB. His mudra appears in the 3rd caraNa.

Ponnaiah of the tanjore Quartette, was a gifted vaggeyakara, and was the great-grand-uncle of Sangeetha kalanidhi Ponnaiah pillai. The two are often spoken of, as if they are the same person. Ponnaiah Senior was a disciple of Mutthuswami Dikshitar, and was AsthAna vidwan in the courts of Tanjore, Mysore and Travancore.
He was a master vaggeyakara, and explicitly declaims his devotion to His guru Mutthuswami Dikshitar, in at least three songs.
The songs are Sree guruguha murthiki ney dAsudaitini in Bhinna Sadjam(Dhenuka), SAtileni guruguha in Purvakalyani and MAyatIta swarUpini in Malavagaula, where he says Guruguha-swamiki ne dasudaiti.
Other masterpieces of this genius are :
- Ranganathude in SaurAshtra
- SarasAkshi in SailadEsakShi(sUlini)
- Amba nIlambari in nIlambari
- Sareku nee in chAmaram (Shanmukhapriya)
- Sree rajarajeswari (RamAmanohari)
- DInarakshaka in Ahiri
He has followed his illustrious guru in using ragamudra often and madhyamakala sahityam.
