Prayer of the Day

Prayer from Basavanna Vachana 

 

ಜಗದಗಲ ಮುಗಿಲಗಲ ಮಿಗೆಯಗಲ ನಿಮ್ಮಗಲ!
ಪಾತಾಳದಿಂದತ್ತತ್ತ ನಿಮ್ಮ ಶ್ರೀಚರಣ!
ಬ್ರಹ್ಮಾಂಡದಿಂದತ್ತತ್ತ ನಿಮ್ಮ ಶ್ರೀಮಕುಟ!
ಅಗಮ್ಯ ಅಗೋಚರ ಅಪ್ರತಿಮ ಅಪ್ರಮಾಣ ಲಿಂಗವೇ,
ಕೂಡಲಸಂಗಮದೇವಯ್ಯ,
ಎನ್ನ ಕರಸ್ಥಲಕ್ಕೆ ಬಂದು ಚುಳುಕಾದಿರಯ್ಯ.

Song as Romanized text

 

jagadagala mugilagala migeyagala nimmagala!
pAtALadiMdattatta nimma SrIcaraNa!
brahmAMDadiMdattatta nimma SrImukuTa!
agamya agOcara apratima apramANa liMgavE,
kUDalasaMgamadEvayya,
enna karasthalakke baMdu cuLukAdirayya.

Meaning of the Prayer Song:

 Spanning across the world, spanning across the sky,
spanning even beyond is Your pervading Form!
End of pathala is Your Feet!
End of the Universe is Your Crown!
Oh Unintelligible, Imperceptible, Incomparable, Immeasureable 
Symbol of God (Linga)! Oh the Divine at kUdala Sangama!
You have become so simple in my palm!

 Notes: 

1. Lord Shiva is beyond comprehension. 
At the same time, for the devotee He becomes very simple!
