thiruchiRRambalam

 

Meaning:

We are singing the beginning and endless rare great

Flame. In spite

of listening to it, Oh the girl with sword like sharp

beautiful eye,

you still have not opened your eyes(sleeping). Is your

ear senseless ?

On hearing the praise of the perfect feet of the

Greatest

dEva, which sound of praise arises at the start of the

street,

one has forgotten herself weeping and weeping ! You as

if nothing

happened are turning here and there enjoying the soft

flowers spread

bed coolly, what a pity what a pity !! Is this your

behavior my dear

friend ?!

I said I gave my body - became far off from guru's teachings

I said I gave my mind - became far off from the linga

I said I gave my wealth - became far off from the devotees

There is nothing more disasterous than the disaster I got ito by saying "I did

for You", kUDalasangamadEva ! - basavaNNa
