When hungry, when exhausted, Hari's
other way.
When in distress, when everything is lost,
when imprisoned, Hari's name is the only
savior. Even by chance there is no other
way.
When confronted with difficulties, when
overwhelmed by adverse times, Hari's
name is the only consolation. Even if one
struggles the whole day, there is no relief.
When handcuffed and threatened by a
killer, when lenders pester you at your door,
only the name of Venkatesa gives you
relief. Adamant attitude will not lessen the
agony.

 Ela nee dayarAdu - aThANa - Adi
In this keertana Tyagaraja humbly requests Rama not to be indifferent to him. He says that Rama is
all merciful, the essence of Vedas and is worshipped by the Sages. He adds that Rama is the

goad. He is adorned with a beautiful umbrella.
Devotees sway Chamara fly-flap to him. He is
bereft of anger. He shines in the hearts of
devotees. Sri Krishna the brother of Balarama
worships him. He abandons earthly pleasures.
He is the dear son of Parvati the daughter of
the king of Himalayas. He is the elder brother
of great Guru Guha. His lotus-feet bestow us
security. He shines with four hands.

Oh Sri Krishna, you are unparalleled
personification of beauty. You are beautiful
like moon. You are blue like dark clouds.
You are adorned with nine most precious
gems and many garlands of sacred Tulasi
leaves and other fragrant flowers.
Young Gopikas of Vrajabhumi are charming
with their captivating beauty. They
decorated themselves with colorful and
fragrant flowers. They danced joyously
moving in circles. Their gem studded
ornaments glittered. Divine 'Rasaleela'
enthralled the young Gopikas. Their
gestures were attractive and their
ornaments were shining. Sri Krishna, their
mesmarising lord is all-pervading. He is
friendly to the learned.

Meaning: (from www.sangeetham.com)

I (“aham”) meditate (“bhaavaye”) on Sadachaleswara, who resides (“geham”) in Chamatkarapura (Tiruvarur) and is the
beloved (“moham”) of Girija.

To his devotees (“ashrita samooham”) he is always (“sadaa”) like the Kalpaka tree (“vruksha”), which grants all boons. He is
worshipped (“sharanaagata”) by the entire clan (“samooham”) of Devas (“devataa”). He is very famous as being worshipped
(“naamadheya”) in the form (“vaaham”) of a lamp (“udaajyakruta”) that used water instead of ghee. He is the embodiment of
inner bliss (“chidaananda”) which flows (“pravaaham”) like pure nectar (“amruta”).

He is the Mahalinga who blessed (“prasaada-karana nipuna”) the King (“bhoopaala”) of Chamatkarapura and others (“aadi”).
His sanctum (“grahamadhyarangam”) has no (“rahita”) shadows (“chaaya”) as the lamp (“deepa”) there dispels all darkness
and preserves light in its womb (“prakaasha garbha”). He destroys all (“samastha”) the fears (“dukha-aadi” or “bhaya
bhangam”) of the worldly (“Samsaara”) who are immersed in the ocean (“saagara”) of mundane existence. He is the bee
(“brungam”) that hovers around the lotus like (“sarasija”) hearts (“hrudaya”) of the Sadhus (“saadhujana”) who have perfect
control (“samadamo”) over their senses (“samyuktha pravrutyaadi”).
His hand, which is better than (“vijayakara”) the lotus (“kamala”) in beauty (“vidruta”) holds a deer (“kurangam”). He like
(“tarangam”) a nectar (“sudha”) filled ocean (“arnava”) of mercy (“karunaarasa”). He is worshipped by the husband (“esha”)
of Lakshmi (“Kamala”) and has a bull (“vrushabha”) for his mount (“turangam”). He resides (“angam”) in the heart
(“antara”) of the lotus (“kamala”) faced (“vadana”) Guruguha.
Notes:
This is the first of the Tiruvarur Panchalinga kritis. Composed in praise of Sadachaleswara. The song refers to Tiruvarur as
Chamatkara (“miracles”) pura (“town”) or the town of miracles.The reference to the lamp burning with water instead of oil
pertains to Naminandi Adigal, a devout Sahivaite who is credited with the creation of the Kamalalaya Tank. In a tussle with the
Jains, he is said to have won, by lighting a lamp at this shrine, using water instead of ghee. There are three references to the
lotus in this kriti. The Achaleswara sanctum is still the place where lotus garlands are prepared for the Tiruvarur temple. The
Achaleswara temple is a fine example of early Chola architecture and abounds with sculptures. It is said to be a model for the
Big Temple in Tanjavur. Dikshitar introduces the raga mudra, by using the word Bhupala, which also means King. The suffix
“aadi” used in this word (“bhoopaalaadi”) also refers to the talam to which the song is set!

Comments:

 This Kriti is in the fourth Vibhakti

 ‘mantriNI’ or ‘SyAmalA’ is the minister of Goddess Lalita
 The chariot of Goddess Mantrini is referred to as ‘gEya cakra’ in the Lalita Sahasranama, and as ‘gIti cakra’
here. Both point to a vehicle which produces sweet music.
