(this song can be sung with brindAvani for pallavi & C1 and mAyAmAlavagauLa for C2 &3)

[vgvindan]

The meaning of the kRti is as under -

Pallavi
You are only of the same magnitude as one thinks (comprehends) You;
Considering the differences, like the cake proportionate to amount of dough;
Charanam 1
vaiSNavas would extol You lovingly as viSNu;
The vEdAntins would speak of You as para brahmam;
Saivas and the devotees thereof would think of You as Siva;
kApAlikas would greatly extol You as Adi bhairava;
Charanam 2
Saktas, thinking they are right, would say You are of the form of Sakti;
Darsanas would worship by measuring Your varied kinds;
You are indeed insignificant for that mean-minded wealthy;
You are indeed Great in greatness, for those great intellectuals who think so;
Charanam 3
There is no deficiency because of You; (number of) Lotuses (in a pond) are as per amount of water;
It is like the water of Ganga springing forth in the wells on its path;
If You are the Lord veGkaTEza, You are the God who protects us;
Considering You so, I seek refuge in You; this is my ultimate Truth.

Corrections are welcome
