Week 3 in Annamacharya Sankeertana series:
On the occasion of the birth anniversary of the great doyen of Carnatic music, Sri Mangalampalli Balamuralikrishna, I will present a song of Sri Annamacharya so beautifully composed by him in the ragam Mukhari. This version is slightly different from the popular tune that everyone is familiar with.

Pallavi:
brahma kaDigina pAdamu
brhmamu tAnE neepAdamu ||

Charanam 1:
Chelagi vasudha golachina nee pAdamu
bali tala mOpina pAdamu
talakaga gaganamu tannina pAdamu
baliripu gAchina pAdamu ||

Charanam 2:
kAmini pApamu kaDigina pAdamu
pAmu talaniDina pAdamu
prEmapu sree sati pisikETi pAdamu
pAmiDi turagapu pAdamu ||

Charanam 3:
paramayOgulaku paripari vidhamula
para mosageDi nee pAdamu
tiru vEnkaTa giri tiramani joopina
parama padamu nee pAdamu ||

Meaning:
In this song, Sri Annamacharya praises the feet of Venkatesa. He says these are the feet cleansed by Brahma and are the Supreme Self.

In the first charanam, he describes the Vaamana avataaram of Vishnu. These feet scaled the earth, were placed on Bali's head and scanned the sky to rescue Devendra (Bali's enemy).

In the second charanam, he says these feet cleansed the sin of Ahalya; were placed on Kaliya’s (snake) head. These feet are comforted by His dear wife Goddess Lakshmi.

In the third charanam, he says these feet granted boons to the great yogis in many ways. These feet show that Tiru Venkatagiri is the ultimate abode.
