Oh Narada Guru!
Won’t you bless me now at least ?
Why this dearth of compassion ?
Oh blessed pure one,
with a body brighter in lustre
than the cloud of the
Sarat season,
who has mastered the Vedas,
yoga and music!
If not through you,
at whose instance have the Puranas,
Agamas and other charitas come into being ?
How could the suggestion have arisen
in Satyabhama to make a gift of
her husband, if not through you ?
Who could have helped
munis and yatis but you ?
I have reposed complete faith in you;
relieve me of my mental distress,
you who blessed Prahlada.

Oh Narada,
the spotless one of form similar to that of
the autumnal moon, who constantly
enjoys the bliss of
meditating upon Narayana,
bless me effectively.
Sri Hari himself has proclaimed you
as the greatest Guru of
the whole Universe and
that He and you are identical and has
thus caused your glory to spread throughout.

Oh NArada!
The honey-bee in the lotus of NAda, of
auspicious form,
the saviour of the honour of the distressed.

Lord of the world,
one who resembles the moon,
one who knows well
the technique of playing on veena, which has
its origin in the Vedas,
free from the three kinds of torments
that cause distress,
adored by Devas,
the friend of Sri Krishna,
one whose heart is full of bliss always,
the foremost among the sages,
the giver of wealth and prosperity,
adored by TyAgarAja,
save me!

Listen to the grandeur with which sage nArada -

one who is replete with with nectar of vEdAnta
beyond the ken of differentiation and non-differentiation,
with his golden lute shining on his pure white body,
at every step, playing on the lute,
with ardent love that is never separated from him,
meditating always on the Lotus Feet of Lord SrI hari, and
reciting the names of Lord nArAyaNa,
set out, with exceeding joy,
in order to convey good tidings to prahlAlada,
and proclaiming that,
in this World, victory is certain for those
who listen to the secrets
of the effulgent Lord SrI hari -
the benefactor of tyAgarAja.

Oh! Guru Raya!
I am blessed with your Darsana,
probadly it is the effect of my tapas in previous births?
I have sought you with all my heart.
I have today feasted my eyes with your sight.
As the result of your seva,
I am rid of the bondage of Samsara.
You alone have attained bliss
through true knowledge;
you alone are the destroyer of ignorance,
O Guru Raya with veena shining in your hand,
you are the sadhguru, who saved Tyagaraja.
