Telisi Rama - Sahityam
O My Mind! Chant the names of the Lord understanding (the
meanings) and only with the thought of Lord Sri Rama.
O My Mind! Chant the names of Lord Sri Rama understanding the
true significance of the Lord of the form of one who carries across
the ocean of Worldly Existence, by ceasing all (other) thoughts at
least for the duration of winking of eyelids (or for a minute), and
with only the thought of the Lord.
1. If one utters ‘Rama', it is the name of a fickle eyed woman also;
those who fight lust or desire etc. are different (from the ones who
bring to mind the form of woman when chanting the name of
‘Rama’). If one utters ‘Rama’, it is also the name of Supreme Lord;
(when chanting the name ‘Rama’ if the the holy form of Supreme
Lord comes to mind) the miseries of birth (and death) of those
people will come to end.
2. The Milk-weed plant is called ‘Arka’; (when chanting name
‘Arka’, if milk-weed comes to mind) how the monkey-like thoughts
or behaviour will come to an end? the Sun is also called ‘Arka’;
(When chanting the name ‘Arka’ if Sun comes to mind), the
darkness called fallacious arguments (sophistry) will come to an
end.
3. The he-goat is called ‘Aja’; (when chanting the name ‘Aja’ if he-
goat comes to mind) how the true aspirations will come to fruition?
Lord Brahma – Consort of Sarasvati is also called ‘Aja’; (When
chanting the name ‘Aja’, if the form of Lord Brahma comes to
mind) one will attain success. O My Mind! Chant the names of
Lord understanding the meanings and with only the thought of the
Lord Sri Rama – praised by this Thyagaraja.
