பாவயாமி கோபாலபாலம் - Tholliyunu maarakku

பாவயாமி கோபாலபாலம்

மனஸேவிதம் தத்பதம் சிந்தயேyaம் ஸதா

கடி கடித மேகலா கசிதமணி கண்டிக

படல நின தேன விப்ராஜமானம்

குடில பத கடித ஸங்குல ஸிஞ்சிதே நடம்

சடுல நடனா ஸமுஜ்வல விலாஸம்

நிரதகர கலித நவனீதம்

ப்ரஹ்மாதி ஸுர நிகர பாவனா சோபித பதம்

திருவேங்கடாசல ஸ்திதம்

அனுபமம் ஹரிம்

பரம புருசம் கோபாலபாலம்

Tholliyunu maarakku.

pallavi:

tolliyunu ma-r-rakku tottelene yugegana

cellubadi nugili srirangasisuvu

Charanam:

Kaliki kaveri taragala baagulatalane

Talaga kitu ramga madhyapu tottelanu

Palumaru danunuchi padaga nugili

Chilupala selavito srirangasisuvu

charanam

vedamule cerulai velayamga seshude

padukonu tottelai paragaganu

sreedevito goodi sriventatesudai

sedadiredi vade srirangasisuvu

The meaning of the song "Tholliyunu Marraakku"

     The Great Lord who floats in the cradle of leaf of banyan tree during PraLaya, now swings in the magnificent cradle as the babe of Sriranga. The baby of Sriranga swings in the cradle of lady Kaveri with abundant waves, as I sing rocking him and as the gushing sweet milk overflows from the sides of His mouth. Behold, as if it is worship of Brahma, he swings with splendid glory in his own cradle of Bramananda as the waters of sea rock him. The Vedas shining as the four strings (on which cradle is suspended) and Sesha shining as the firm cradle, the Lord who shines as Venkatesa along with Sreedevi, as babe of Sriranga relieves himself of fatigue.
