O Bestower of Properity! O Lord without a beginning, middle or end! O Lord united with sItA! O Treasure trove of virtues! O bestower of boons to the devotees! O Lord praised by this tyAgarAja!
Please tell me as to which else path should I tread.
If I go in the path of advaita – all is One’s Self only, You say that it is difficult to cast off ‘I’ (Ego);
if I ask You to protect me, You say that I am a dvaitin.

Notes –
Variations –
3 – tannu brOvu – nannu brOvu : In view of use of ‘tAnu’ (anni tAnanu) in the first line to indicate One’s Self, here also ‘tannu’ may be appropriate. However, here, ‘nannu’ seems to be more appropriate.

1 – anni tAnanu – All is One’s Self – Please refer to - ashTAvakra gItA - pdf (download).
2 – nannu vIDanu – to cast off ego. The difficulty in pursuing the path of advaita is brought out in SrImad-bhagavad-gIta – Chapter 12 –

“Greater is their trouble whose minds are set on the Unmanifested; for the goal of the Unmanifested is very hard for the embodied to reach.”
