svAmiki sari. rAgA: dEvagAndhAri. Adi tALA.

P: svAmiki sari evvarana vaccu svararAga sudhAnidhi candruDE

Who can be said to be equal to (Tyagaraja) swamy? He is verily the moon, the store for the nectar of swararaaga.

A: bhUmilOnu sakala janulu mOdamutO pogaDa dagina satkIrti

vahincina

To him who has the fame, extolled with pleasure by all people on earth. (Who can be compared?)

C1: dharalO gAnam abhyasincina narulella viTamArgu layyErani
karuNatO vAriki mOkSamandu ruci galgunaTTu kIrtanamula
racincina

Realising that all people who learnt music on earth left the righteous path, with compassion, he wrote lyrics to encourage their taste in eternal bliss.

2: para dhana kAntAmaNula kAsincaka nara(n)Adula golici

pogaDa(g)ka dhIruDai

Without coveting others money or women, without serving and extolling mere mortals, being a brave learned man,

vara sangItamu mOkSadamani enci paramAtmuDaina shrI rAmuni

bhajincina

And realising that good music gives liberation, who woshipped Sri Rama, the Paramatma, (to such swamy, who can be compared?)

3: gAna lOluDau venkaTeshvaruni tana gAnamucE

paravashamugA jEsi

Having entranced music loving Venkateswara with his music,

mAnaganE =? tana hrdaya kamalamaina man(t)diramuna nuncu konina shrI tyAgarAja

To that Tyagaraja who kept (him) in the abode which is his hridayakamala, (Who can be compared)

Each charana and anupallavi is an adjactival clause, related to the word "swami" in the pallavi.

There is another Tamil(?) composition with similar first line, sAmiki (swAmikku) sari evvarE sri krishna sAmiki---, a PapanAsam Sivan composition in kEdAra gowla , sung by DKP in days of yore, also sung by her grand niece Nithyashriek in recent times ?
