Lyrics & Meaning: nArAyaNAya namO by Annamaachaarya

Post by HariKrishna »

I'm almost to ask for this but, I was surprised that I could not find it with Google. The few hits I got for lyrics were of Naaraayana Teertha's composition of the same name. This one was sung by Malladi Brothers on their "Krithis of Annamacharya" CD in janjUti rAgam. Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks! Quick question - My notes say that this song is sung in rAga janjUtI. Is rAgam "cenjuruTI" same as "janjUTi?" I could not find mention of either rAga on karantic.com. Is it known by another name/spelling? I found a rAga "jhinjOTi" but I'm guessing that's not it.

It is very difficult to decipher some words in this song.
I have tried my utmost.

[c1]you are the master of the senses,[govinda] salutations salutations you are the protector of cows[gopAla]
You are the father of the god of love,[bhAvaja] salutations,salutations,you are the soul of pranava[omkArA] salutations,
You are the lord of gods[devesha]salutations you are the embodiment of divine qualities.
You are the instrument of thought for these who think of you,here and hereafter.
[c2]there is a rope around you,[dAmOdara] [tied by yashode in your childhood]salutations
You are the lord of the earth[dharaNIsha],salutations,you are mahilApati protector of women salutations
you protect the devout[shiSta rakShana] salutations
you are vAmana who recovered the earth and sky from bali ,salutations
you have lotus like eyes,salutations

[c3]you are complete godhead[paripUrna] salutations you are the climax of OmkAra salutations
You are the eternal venkatanAyaka,reclining on AdiSesha[shESashAyi]salutations
You annihilated naraka[narakAsura]salutations,the man-beast[narasimha]salutations
Whoever thinks of you in this way, you will be their sacred syllable, here and hereafter.
