Emayya Rama - Sri Badrachalam Ramadas - Raga - Kambhoji
In this keertana, Ramadasu tells us that everyone that moved with Rama (or Krishna) viewed him in different ways i.e. as a friend, as a foe, as a master, as a lover, etc. but none really viewed and served him as the Supreme God.
Pallavi
emayya rAma brahmEndrAdulaku naina nee mAya teliya vaSamA ||
Oh Rama, is it possible even for Indra, Brahma, and other Gods to comprehend your mysteries?
Charanam - 1
kAmAri vinuta guNa dhAma kuvalaya daLa
SyAmA nanu ganna tanDri rAmA ||
Siva, the enemy of Manmadha adores you. You are the abode of good qualities. Petals of water lily resemble you in color. Oh Rama, you are my father.
Charanam - 2
sutuDanuchu daSarathuDu, hitu Danuchu sugreevudu
atibaluDanuchu kapulu kshitinAdhuDanuchu bhoopatulu
kolichirigAni patita pAvanuDani mati teliyarairi ||
Dasaradha considered you as his son, Sugriva felt that you are his well-wisher, the monkeys extolled you as mighty warrior and the kings admired you as great emperor but they did not think that you are redeemer of sinners
Charanam - 3
chelimi kADavanuchu pAnDavulu nija virOdhi vaTanchu
ala jarAsandhAdulu kala vADavani kuchElunDu neringiri gAni
O jalajAksha ninnu sEvimpa lerairi ||
Pandavas moved with you as their friend. Jarasandha and other demons treated you as their enemy. Kuchela viewed you as a rich person. Oh lotus-eyed Rama, none of them worshipped you as God.
Charanam - 4
naruDavani narulu tama dora vanuchu yAdavulu
varuDa vanchu gOpa satulu
kari varada bhadrAdri pura nilaya rAma dAsa
paramAtmuDani ninnu bhAvimpa lErairi ||
People thought that you are just a human being. Yadavas respected you as their master. Gopikas only believed that you are their lover. You rescued Gajendra, the elephant king. Bhadradri is your abode. People do not know that you are the Supreme Lord of Ramadasu.
