Bhadradri Ramadasu Keerthanalu
॥ Nee Sankalpam Lyrics and Meaning ॥
Pallavi:
nee salkalpam betu vantido gana nenenta vadara rama nee
vasi tarigi nee dasa janulu bhuvi kasa padina ya ghana mevvarido nee ॥
Meaning:
Oh, Rama, who am I after all to know the nature of your resolve? Your devotees are fascinated with worldly problems When their devotion to you is reducing, whose greatness is it?
Charanam:
brochina mari vida joochina nee krupa gachi yundu gani
tochee tochakanu todari karambula chachi parula ne yachana seyanu nee ॥
Meaning:
Whether you protect me or leave me away, I await unswervingly for your grace. I’ll not obediently beg others.
patu taramuga nee matu mayalakunu netuvale nortunu
chatula tarambuga jalagu bhavambudhi netu datudu nenevarini doorudu nee ॥
Meaning:
How can I endure steadfastly your incomprehensible and mysterious ways? How can I cross the turbulent ocean of worldly problems?
bhavaja ripu nuta parama purusha nee bhavamu teliyaduga
deva deva nee sevaka janulaku sevakudanu nanu gavumu mrokkeda nee ॥
Meaning:
Oh Supreme Rama, Siva adores you. Your views are incomprehensible. Oh Lord of lords, I am a servant of your servants. Please protect me, I bow to you.
dari jerchedavani dhairyamu che nee dari cheritini gani
arasi brovagade yaradi pettuta yeruga naiti na doravanu konti nee ॥
Meaning:
I have come to you with the confidence that you’ll enable me to reach the shore. Why don’t you protect me? I never thought that you would keep me in agony. I believed that you are my lord.
saranagata rakshana bhava sagara tarana ripu harana karuna joodu bhadradri nivasa ara mara cheyaku hari ninu nammiti nee ॥
Meaning:
You protect those who seek your help. You enable us to cross the ocean of worldly problems. You are a tormentor of enemies. Please show mercy without hesitation. I’ve implicit faith in you. Oh Hari, you dwell in Bhadradri.
