Meaning :
Can a thief burgle the treasure seen in the mirror? It is just like made gold shine better, that I keep faith in you, O purandara viTala (You are like Gold, my faith is like made Gold shine)
A very meaningful and purposive song of Purandara Dasa.He asserts the invincibility of the true devotee by any external forces of discomfort when the Lord's Grace is on the devotee.
ReplyDeleteI have been hearing the song with the word 'sadaa' in place of 'mikka' used in this post. The word 'dhyaanadOL' perhaps would have better meaning as 'in' the meditation in the place of 'on', as it would convey the immersion of the devotee.
Yes I agree with the comment. There are different versions with minor variations. For example, the one sung by Bhimsen Joshi is:
ReplyDeleteNaa ninna dhyAnadoLu iralu sada
mikka mAnavarEnu mADuvaro O bhala!
This makes very good sense. Purandaradasa is not denegrading them as Heena, but only says "mikka" i.e other. Overall the deep sense of his total faith in the LORD shines through. For anyone who has gone through difficult times in life and how difficulties suddenly vanish like a miracle, this is become a living truth. That includes Bhimsen Joshi himself. Once the Lord graces, every other human has no power to stop that individual. The LORD carries them through.
I want Kannada lyrics.. not English please keep a Kannada version also
