Thank you

Fantastic - thank you, Rajani.

I love how gati (gatyAH) is used in three different contexts - having the gait (of), causing something to move, and finally, as the ultimate refuge!

[Rajani]

Thank you.

Narayara000 - It would be nice to know the purpose of your seeking the translations. Are these simply for learning the songs? Or are you planning some concert?

I would also be grateful for corrections and additions (in these 5-6 kritis recently discussed) by esteemed, knowledgeable members like Keerthi, RaviSri Sirs and anyone else. Each for these songs present a wonderful opportunity to deepen our understanding of the philosophical and religious matters the great compsoer has mentioned, beyond this literal translation.

@Rajani No, I am just a fan of dikshitar krithis. I am trying to collect as many as I can, and I cannot find any site that has word-by-word meanings for them.

[Rajani]
