How To Threaten Away the Sins?

Prayer of the Day

Prayer from Basavanna Vachana 

 

ಕರಿಯಂಜುವುದು ಅಂಕುಶಕ್ಕಯ್ಯಾ
ಗಿರಿಯಂಜುವುದು ಕುಲಿಶಕ್ಕಯ್ಯಾ
ತಮಂಧವಂಜುವುದು ಜ್ಯೋತಿಗಯ್ಯಾ
ಕಾನನವಂಜುವುದು ಬೇಗೆಗಯ್ಯಾ
ಪಂಚಮಹಾಪಾದಕವಂಜುವುದು 
ಕೋಡಲಸಂಗನ ನಾಮಕ್ಕಯ್ಯಾ.

Song as Romanized text

 
kariyaMjuvudu aMkushakkayyA
giriyaMjuvudu kulishakkayyA
tamaMdhavaMjuvudu jyOtigayyA
kAnanavaMjuvudu bEgegayyA
paMchamahApAdakavaMjuvudu 
kODalasaMgana nAmakkayyA.

Meaning of the Prayer Song:


 Elephant fears the goad.
Mountain fears the thunderbolt.
Darkness fears the light.
Forest fears the fire.
The five grand sins fear the name of the Divine of Kudalasangama!

 

 Notes: 


1. bEge - fire

2. Pancha maha patakas or the five greatest sins are Brahmahatya (killing a Brahmana), 
Suraapaana (indulging in intoxicants), Asteya (Stealing Gold), Guru Patni Gamana 
(inappropriate behavior with wife of Guru) and fifth being commending the before mentioned sins.

3. The Holy name of Lord Shiva is the guideline for the
one who wants to protect the self against these sins.

4. c.f. நரகம் ஏழ் புக நாடினராயினும் 
      உரை செய் வாயினர் ஆயின் உருத்திரர்
     விரவியே புகுவித்திடும் என்பரால்
    வரதன் நாமம் நமச்சிவாயவே - திருஞானசம்பந்தர்
