APPA RAAMA BHAKTHI
Composer - Sri Thyagaraaja ; Raga - Panthuvaraali
PALLAVI
Appa Raama Bhakthi Yentho Gopparaa ; Maa
Devotion to our father Rama is indeed very best.
ANUPALLAVI
Thrippatalanu Dheerchi Kanti Reppa Valenu Gaachu ; Maa
The Raama Bhakthi steadies the wandering of the mind and protects similar to how an eyelid protects its eye.
CHARANAM-1
Lakshmidhevi Valachunaa
Lakshmanundu Goluchunaa
Sukshma Buddhi Gala Bharathudu
Juchi Juchi Solasuna ; Maa
(If this is not so) Would Lakshmi Dhevi so fervently love Him?
Would Lakshmana serve him with such dedication?
Would Bharatha having a sharp intellect, feel ecstatic beholding Him again and again?
CHARANAM-2
Shabari Yengilinichchunaa
Chandra Dharudu Mechchunaa
Abala Svayamprabhaku Daiva
Machala Padavinichchunaa ; Maa
(If this is not so) Would Shabari offer him fruits after ensuring that they are rich in quality?
Would Lord Shiva glorify Him?
Would the Lord bestow eternal state to the maid Svayamprabha?
CHARANAM-3
Kapi Vaaridhi Dhaatunaa
Kaliki Rota Gattunaa
Aparaadhi Thyaagaraaju
Kaanandhamu Hechchunaa ; Maa
(If this is not so) Can a Monkey (Hanuman) leap across the mighty ocean?
Can a woman (Yashodha) tie the Lord (Krishna) to a Mortar?
Can bliss be heightened for this faulty Thyagaraja?
