Lyrics of "jnana mosaga rada"

జ్ఞాన మోసగ రాదా గరుడ గమన వాదా 

నీ నామమున నా మది నిర్మల మైనది 

పరమాత్ము౦డు జీవాత్ముండు పదు నాలుగు లోకములు 

నర కిన్నర కింపురుష  నారదాది మునులు 

పరిపూర్ణ నిష్కళంక నిరవధి సుఖ దాయక 

వర త్యాగరాజార్చిత వారము తాననే (జ్ఞానము)

రాగము: గమనశ్రమ

తాళము: రూపక  

j~naana mOsaga raadaa garuDa gamana vaadaa nee naamamuna naa madi nirmala mainadi paramaatmu~0Du jeevaatmuMDu padu naalugu lOkamulu nara kinnara kiMpurusha naaradaadi munulu paripoorNa nishkaLaMka niravadhi sukha daayaka vara tyaagaraajaarchita vaaramu taananae (j~naanamu) raagamu: gamanaSrama taaLamu: roopaka

[vadaa = the whirring sound. Luckily due to parents' blessings I got "the music rub" in the sinews. So, without listening to any singer I learned to sing this kirtana with perfect melody, myself. Here, the composer is asking for Sri Rama's grace (help). He says, "Why not bestow the supreme wisdom on us? Just by uttering (or hearing) your precious name my mind becomes clear, it gets uncluttered. Then Tyagayya enumerates a long list of "objects" including the sages like Narada, vina, and the fourteen worlds. (Narada and Tumbura are the great celestial singers.) Rama, you are the only one who can give us perfect, unblemished, and interminable happiness. Won't you give us the "wisdom" to recognize all the above entities as none other than Yourself (Rama)?"] Copyright 2022 by the author
