Maya that wrecks!

Prayer of the Day

Prayer from Basavanna Vachana 

 

ನಾನೊಂದು ನೆನೆದರೆ ತಾನೊಂದ ನೆನೆವುದು
ನಾನಿತ್ತಲೆಲೆದರೆ ತಾನಲ್ಲೆಲೆವುದು
ತಾ ಬೆರೆ ಎನ್ನನಲಲಿಸಿ ಕಾಡಿತು
ತಾ ಬೆರೆ ಎನ್ನ ಬಲಲಿಸಿ ಕಾಡಿತು
ಕೂಡಲಸಂಗಮದೆವನ ಕೂಡಿಹೆನೆನ್ದಡೆ
ತಾನೆನ್ನ ಮುಂದುಗೆದಿಸಿತ್ತು ಮಾಯೆ !

Song as Romanized text

 

naanoMdu nenedare taanoMda nenevudu
naanittaleledare taanallelevudu
taa bere ennanalalisi kaaDitu
taa bere enna balalisi kaaDitu
kUDalasaMgamadevana kUDihenendaDe
taanenna muMdugedisittu maaye !

Meaning of the Prayer Song:


When I think of something, it thinks something else!
When I pull one way, it pulls the other way!
It also destroys and eats me!
It also weakens me!
As I think of staying union with the Lord Kudalasangamadeva,
it dances in front of me - The Maya!!

 Notes: 


1. c.f. Even when I know what to do Maya inflicts - Appayya Dikshithar
The Maya that wrecks - Appar
