[Sreeni Rajarao]

Please note - the title should read anjikinyAtakayya sajjanarige.

I hope you can correct the title.

Thanks!

[chitrathiagarajan]

Thanks Lakshman sir.
Can I get the meaning also?

[Lakshman]

Someone else will likely provide it.

[Sreeni Rajarao]

Lakshmanji,

I have attempted to give the correct transliteration here:

anjikinyAtakayya sajjanarige anjikinyAtakayya

sanjIva rAyara smaraNe mADidamEle

kanasali manasali kaLavaLavAdare hanumana nenedare hAri hOgade pApa

rOma rOmake kOTi lingaudurisida (or linga udurisida) BImana nenedare biTTu hOgade pApa

purandara viThalana pUjeya mADuva guru madhva rAyara smaraNe mADida mEle


And the meaning in a very simple form here:

anjikinyAtakayya (why fear) sajjanarige (for the good people) anjikinyAtakayya (why fear)

sanjIva rAyara smaraNe mADidamEle (anymore, once you have prayed to sanjIva rAyarau)
(smaraNe is not exactly praying, it would loosely mean remember or reminisce or think of)

kanasali manasali kaLavaLavAdare hanumana nenedare hAri hOgade pApa
(if you are anxious (kaLavaLa = anxiety) in your dreams (kanasu = dream) (and) in your mind (mansasu = mind), does not the sin fly away when you think of hanumAn)

rOma rOmake kOTi lingaudurisida (or linga udurisida) BhImana nenedare biTTu hOgade pApa
(would you not be rid of your sins if you think of Bhima who shed crores of linga for each hair)

purandara viThalana pUjeya mADuva guru madhva rAyara smaraNe mADida mEle
(why fear, after you have prayed to guru madhva rAya who worships purandara viThala)

Notes:
1. My translation is very weak, but I hope you get the general gist of the song!
2. hanuma, Bhima and madhvAcArya are considered reincanations and are held high in the mAdhva echelon
3. I need to think a little bit more to get who exactly sanjIva rayaru is (I think the reference is for pRANa dEvaru which is vAyu)
4. I am not aware of the story in reference to Bhima - there must be a story behind this reference

I hope someone more knowledgeable will make corrections to what I may have interpreted incorrectly.

Very good translation.

The text I have seen (and what Balamuralikrishna has sung ) reads hAri hOgade bhIti (fear) and not pApa

The reference to the linga is probably to the incident (after the war) when BhIma was chased by a demon who was a Siva bhakta.
BhIma had 3 hairs given by HanamAn which he would drop producing a crore lingas each time. The bhakta got delayed by having to pray to these and BhIma escapes.

Sreeni Rajarao avarige.
ShuBhOdaya
Your translation has come out nice.
Sanjeeva means "living, reviving, immortal".
Also means 'one who can bring back the dead to life'. In Hindu mythology "Sanjeevani" is a herbal root, which had the power to revive the life of the dead. Hanuman brought Sanjeevini to revive Lakshman.
So ‘sanjIva rAya’ is AnjanEya.
Based on your translation of pallavi and anupallavi,
I have made these alterations.

Why do the righteous need to be afraid.

after meditating on sanjIva rAya [AnjanEya]


1. My translation is very weak, *Quote*

Not at all.

Smt. Savitri avare,

Thank you! Your input makes perfect sense. I had you in mind when I wrote that my translation is weak!

I knew you would help us get the correct words and the meaning.

Amateur,

Thanks! Yes, hAri hOgade BhIti also makes sense!

Also, thanks for the story about Bhima and the kOTi linga.

[Sreeni Rajarao]

What would be really nice is to upload a good vocal version here.

Does anyone have it?

The best I have heard was from Madurai Sundar in a concert here in Michigan in 2005. It was an elaborate 30 - 40 min performance. Concert was organized by Michigan chapter of Vishwa Madhwa Sangha. I will see if I can get a recording and upload it here.

[rshankar]

Sreeni, please do...lovely song...thanks to you and Smt. Savitri for helping us understand the meaning. I did not know that madhvAcAraya was considered an incarnation of hanumAn, who himself was SivAmSuDu...

[Sreeni Rajarao]

Look what I found with a google search for anjike!

How lucky are we to have a very generous friend who has already provided me with a
T N Seshagopalan version!

I noticed that caraNa 1 and 2 are not sung in this version.
