This popular song from the movie , kittoor Chennamma , by singer Smt P Susheela is a very old , very meaningful melody.
A small attempt to translate the meaning of the song in English:-
The summary of the song is about praying God with purity of mind, heart and soul ಕಾಯ , ವಾಚ, ಮನಸ…
And it says to show the act of kindness – compassion towards others.. It also says that if our heart, mind and soul isn’t pure, then even if we submit/offer anything to God , it wouldn’t be accepted by Him, The Lord Shiva..
This song is written by ancient female poet and saint of Karnataka AkkaMahadevi..
Lyrics in kannada:-
ತನು ಕರಗದವರಲ್ಲಿ ಪುಷ್ಪವ ನೊಲ್ಲೆಯಯ್ಯ ನೀನು
ಮನ ಕರಗದವರಲ್ಲಿ ಗಾಂಧಾಕ್ಷತೆಯನೊಲ್ಲಯ್ಯ ನೀನು||
ಅರಿವು ಕಣ್ತೆರೆಯದವರಲ್ಲಿ ಆರತಿಯನ್ನೋಲ್ಲಯ್ಯ ನೀನು
ಭಾವ ಶುದ್ಧವಿಲ್ಲದವರಲಿ ಧೂಪವ ನೊಲ್ಲಯ್ಯ ನೀನು||
ಪರಿಣಾಮಿಗಳಲ್ಲದವರಲ್ಲಿ ನೈವೇದ್ಯವನ್ನೋಲ್ಲಯ್ಯ ನೀನು
ಹೃದಯಕಮಲವಿಲ್ಲದವರಲಿ ಇರಲೊಲ್ಲಯ್ಯ ನೀನು||
ಎನ್ನಲ್ಲಿ ಏನುಂಟೆಂದು ಕರಸ್ಥಳದಲಿ ಇಂಬುಗೊಂಡೆ…
ಹೇಳಾ ಚೆನ್ನಮಲ್ಲಿಕಾರ್ಜುನ…
ಹೇಳಾ ಚೆನ್ನಮಲ್ಲಿಕಾರ್ಜುನ…
Thank you! For the song
