In caraNam of Thyagaraja's song 'teliyalEru rAmanhakti mArgamu' Sri Santhanagopalan sang as 'nIDa munigi'. Many other musicians also do so. The correct word is 'nITa'. nITa means in water. nIDa means shade.

I am enclosing the full song, courtesy Sri. V.Govindan

teliya lEru rAma-dhEnuka

In the kRti ‘teliya lEru rAma bhakti mArgamu’ – rAga dhEnuka (tALa Adi) SrI tyAgarAja takes pity on those who go about their daily routine without understanding the true path ie., devotion.

Word-by-word Meaning

pallavi

O SrI rAma! People are not aware (teliya lEru) of the path (mArgamunu) of bhakti.

anupallavi

Roaming (tirugucunu) all over (antaTa) the Earth (ilanu) (ilanantaTa), they babble as if in a dream (kaluvarincEru);
but (kAni), O Lord SrI rAma! they are not aware of the path of bhakti.

caraNam

Getting up (lEci) early in the morning (vEga), taking bath (nITa munigi) (literally taking dip in water), smearing (pUsi) sacred ash (bhUti) on the body,
(performing japa by) counting (enci) fingers (vELLanu) (veLLanenci), and posing (veliki) (literally ostensibly) as praise-worthy (SlAghanIyulai),
they became (airE) totally (bAga) (literally very) committed (lOlulu) (literally dedicated) (lOlulairE) to earning (Arjana) money (paikamu) (paikamArjana), but (kAni)
O Lord praised (vinuta) by this tyAgarAja! they are not aware of the path of bhakti.

Notes –
Variations -
1 – kaluvarincEru – kaluvarincedaru.

Comments -
2 – vELLanenci – counting fingers (instead of rosary). Performing japa in a mechanical manner is meant.

3 – veliki – in telugu, there are two words ‘veliki’ (external) and ‘veligi’ (shining). In the present context, the word ‘veliki’ (external) is the appropriate word; therefore, the constant ‘ki’ should not be softened as ‘gi’.

S.Govindaswamy wrote
Dear Mr Govindan
I came across the following explanation for the caraNa in the book Sri ThyAgarAja hrdayamu published by M.Adi & Co.
CharaNam starts as “ bAguga vittArjana lOlurairE gAni”. The meanings given in Telugu are translated as below by me subject to my limited knowledge.
Vitta – wealth
Arjana – earning
Alternate pAtam given is “bAgupaika mArjana”. The version you have given “bAgapaika mArjana” is how it is sung nowadays. I was given the meaning for this as below. The words are split as paikamu + Arjana.
paikamu -dakshaNa (cash offering to brAhmaNa)
Arjana – earning.

'paikamu Arjana'; I have made amendments to the blogs. It was an error on my

At a certain time in Carnatic music, when raga swaroopa was considered all important, ragas such as Saveri, Sahana, Natakurinji, Ritigaula, Dhanyasi were known as rakti ragas.
