Tyagaraja Kriti

Meaning - Gist
O Lord of all Gods! O Lord who destroys sins! O Lord of beautiful form! O Lord who is Consort of sItA! O Lord rAghava! O Lord rAma! O Lord praised by this devout tyAgarAja!

If You appear before me at every step, which of Your property would be lost?
But for what is pre-ordained, I shall not exceed my limits; knowing my ability, will I allow myself to be deceived? (OR)
But for what is pre-ordained, is it in my capacity to exceed my limits? will I allow myself to be deceived knowingly?

Is it proper to look at me equally (with others)? Please understand my exigencies; I won't ask for boons; please listen to my appeal.
This indeed is the opportune moment to protect me; my mind shall not beseech other Gods; is it not known to You? What kind of valour is this?

If You show such an unprecedented unconcern towards me, would celestials and even demons appreciate? Why this wickedness now?

Notes

Variations - (Pathanthara)
² – taramu – taramA : If 'taramA' is correct, anupallavi would be translated differently. Both versions are given.

³ – mOsa pOdunA – mOsamu pOdunA : ‘mOsa’ is the appropriate word and has been adopted accordingly.

Comments
¹ – sommulu Emi pOvurA – 'which of your property would be lost?' - this is more of an assertion that ‘none of Your property would be lost’.

⁴ – tarAna – this word seems to be declension of ‘taramu’. However, the form is not clear. In some books, this word has been translated as ‘precedent’. Though such a meaning fits in the context, no such meaning is found in the dictionary.

⁵ – metturA – this is how it is given in all the books and the meaning derived is (would they) 'approve', 'appreciate', 'applaud'. The corresponding telugu word for all the three words is 'meccu' and it would decline as 'meccudurA' in order to convey the said meaning. Therefore, it is not clear whether 'meccudurA' can be used as 'metturA'.

⁶ – harAmi – As per telugu dictionary, the meaning is ‘wicked’, ‘vicious’. However, this is a urdu word and, in North India, this word is considered an abuse. This word is derived from Arabic root word ‘harAm’ (English ‘harem’) and means ‘illegitimate child’.
