Dasarathi nee runamu

Dasarathi nee runamu

By

Saint Thyagaraja

Ragam Thodi

Thaam   Desadhi

Pallavi

Dasarathi  nee runamu  theerpa naa,

THarama   parama pavana  nama

Pallavi

Would I bee able    to give back  the loan ,

Given by you  , Oh son of Dasaratha ,

Who has    a very auspicious   name.

Anupallavi

Aasa sheera  dhoora  desamulanu  pra-

Kasimba   jesina   rasika   siromani .

Anupallavi

Of  expert  connoisseur  who made  me,

Shine  my name in all  distant   lands.

Charanam

Bhakthi leni  kavijala   varenyulu  ,

Bhava merugaloni kala lojani,

Bukthi mukthi   kalgunani   keerthanamulo  ,

Bodhinchina   Thyagaraja  karachitha

Charanam

  Thinking that  the great poets   without devotion,

Would not understand   the inner  meaning ,

You appeared  in dream of Thyagaraja  ,

Who worships you  and   taught  him   songs,

Which grants salvation as    well as prosperous life .
