Lyrics - Mokshamu Galada

Ragam: Saramathi
Thalam: Aadi
Composer: Tyaagaraaja
Language: Telugu

Pallavi

Mokshamu galadaa bhuvilo jeevan..
Muktulu gaani vaaralaku

Anupallavi

Saakshaatkaara nee sadbhakti
Sangitajnaana vihinulaku

CaraNam

Praanaanala samyogamu valla
Pranava naadamu sapta svaramulai paraga
Vinaa vaadana loludau Siva mano
Vidhamerugaru Thyaagaraaja vinuta..


Meaning of this song:

Is salvation attainable by anyone in this world, who has not realised the Self? Are you not, Lord, ever ready to vouchsafe your vision to those intensely yearning for it? Is Beatitude attainable by anyone who has not experienced the profound ecstacy of devotional music?

The vital force praaNaa and anaala, fire, combine to generate praNava, the Omkaara (sound of Om). From that Omkaara, the seven musical notes emerge. To those who cannot intuitively perceive the mind of Shiva, who worships naada through the VeeNa, is salvation attainable?
