ಮುರಹರ ನಗಧರ ನೀನೆ ಗತಿ (A Beautiful Kriti by Purandaradasaru)
ಮುರಹರ ನಗಧರ ನೀನೆ ಗತಿ
Murahara nagadhara nīne gati
Dharaṇi Lakṣmīkānta nīne gati ||P||
Śakaṭa mardana śaraṇāgata vatsala
Makara kuṇḍaladhara nīne gati ||
Akaḷaṅka caritane Ādinārāyaṇa
Rukumiṇipati Kr̥ṣṇa nīne gati ||1||
Manemanegaḷa pokku kene hālu beṇṇeya
Dina dina medda Hari nīne gati ||
Anudina bhakutara biḍade kāyuva
Ghana mahimane Kr̥ṣṇa nīne gati ||2||
Pannagaśayana suparṇagamanane
Pūrṇa carita Hari nīne gati ||
Honna hoḷeyaliha Purandara Viṭṭhala
Cenna Lakṣmīkānta nīne gati ||3||
O Murahara, the bearer of the mountain, you are my refuge.
O consort of Lakshmi, Lord of the Earth, you are my refuge. ||P||
Destroyer of the demon cart, protector of the surrendered,
O wearer of makara-shaped earrings, you are my refuge.
O blemishless one, Adinarayana,
O Rukmini’s consort, Krishna, you are my refuge. ||1||
Going from house to house, stealing curds, milk, and butter,
Day by day, O graceful Hari, you are my refuge.
Forever guarding your devotees without fail,
O glorious Krishna, you are my refuge. ||2||
O one who reclines on the serpent and soars with the eagle,
O perfect in deeds, Hari, you are my refuge.
O golden-shining Purandara Vittala,
O splendid consort of Lakshmi, you are my refuge. ||3||
