niyatarunitatula-nilatano!
kamalayata-lochana!lokapate!

Lord of Venkatachala! One whose matchless blue body is ever rendered red by the saffron on the breasts of Kamala (called Sridevi); One whose eyes are broad like the petals of the lotus.

Lord of Vrsasaila! May Thou (O Hari!) with Thy extreme mercy protect me who has always committed various unendurable sins.

I do not understand any one other than Krishna who is surrounded by innumerable cowherdesses (gopikas) who are enchanted by the sweet music of His flute; who equals the beauty of all the Cupids (Manmathas); who gives joy and is dear to each gopika.

rajanichara-raja-tamo-mihiram
mahaniyam aham raghuramam aye.


I seek refuge in Raghurama who does what Sita likes, who has a beautiful face like the Moon, who is like the Sun to put an end to darkness (Ravana the King of Demons), and who is exalted.

sumukham suhrdam sulabham sukhadam svanujam cha sukayamamoghasaram,
apahaya raghudvaham anyam aham
na kathanchana kanachana jatu bhaje.


At no time and in no way, do I worship any one other than Rama,, who has elevated the Raghu race, who has a handsome face, a good heart, is easily attainable, has good brothers, has a beautiful body and whose arrows are unfailing.

vina venkatesam na nanatho na nathahsada venkatesam smarami smarami,
hare! venkatesa! prasida prasida

There is no saviour other than Venkatesa. I will always pray to Venkatesa. O Hari Venkatesa! Be pleased and grant us favours.

O Lord! Having come from afar, with a desire to salute Thy lotus-like feet, I serve Thee Venkatesa! Please give me the opportunity for this occasional worship.

ajnanina maya dosan
asesan vihitan hare!
ksamasva tvam ksmasva tvam sesasailasikhamane.

O Hari! The jewel-crest of Sesasaila! Pardon me for all the sins committed by me, an ignorant being.

The trip to Thirupathi was so memorable. With Thirupati Venkateswara in memories we are going to visit Sri Kalahasthi.

In the next post I will give you some interesting stories about Kalahasthi. Kalahasthi is a famous Shiva temple on the way to Thirupathy from Chennai. Meat you there in Thiru Kalahasthi.
