Neene dayaalo nirmalachitta | ನೀನೆ ದಯಾಳೊ ನಿರ್ಮಲಚಿತ್ತ

🎵 Kannada Lyrics:

ಉಗಾಭೋಗ:
ನಿನ್ನನು ನೋಡುವ ಕಾಮವು ಎನಗಿರಲಿ |
ನಿನ್ನ ವಿರೋಧಿಗಳ ಕಂಡೆನೆಗೆ ಕ್ರೋಧವು ಬರಲಿ ||
ನಿನ್ನ ಚರಣವ ಬಿಡೆನೆಂಬ ಲೋಭವು ಬರಲಿ |
ನಿನ್ನ ನಾಮದಲಿ ಸದಾ ವ್ಯಾಮೋಹವೆನಗಿರಲಿ ||

ನಿನ್ನ ನಾಮಸ್ಮರಣೆಯ ಮದವೇರಲಿ
ನಿನ್ನವರಂತೆ ನಾನಾಗಲಿಲ್ಲವೆಂಬ ಮತ್ಸರವಿರಲಿ
ನಿನ್ನವನೆನಿಸೊ ಸಂಪನ್ನ ವಿಜಯವಿಠ್ಠಲ ||

ನೀನೆ ದಯಾಳೊ ನಿರ್ಮಲಚಿತ್ತ ಗೋವಿಂದ
ನಿಗಮಗೋಚರ ಮುಕುಂದ ||೩||

ಜ್ಞಾನಿಗಳರಸ ನೀನಲ್ಲದೆ ಜಗಕಿನ್ನು
ಮಾನದಿಂದಲಿ ಕಾವ ಧೊರೆಗಳ ನಾ ಕಾಣೆ ||೪||

ದಾನವಾಂತಕ ದೀನಜನಮಂದಾರನೆ
ಧ್ಯಾನಿಪರ ಮನಸಂಚಾರನೆ
ಮೌನವಾದೆನು ನಿನ್ನ ಧ್ಯಾನಾನಂದದಿ ಈಗ
ಸಾನುರಾಗದಿ ಕಾಯೊ ಸನಕಾದಿವಂದ್ಯನೆ ||೫||

ಬಗೆ ಬಗೆಯಲಿ ನಿನ್ನ ತುತಿಪೆನೊ ನಗಧರ
ಖಗಪತಿವಾಹನನೆ
ಮಗುವಿನ ಮಾತೆಂದು ನಗುತ ಕೇಳುತ ಬಂದೆ
ಬೇಗದಿಂದಲಿ ಕಾಯೊ ಸಾಗರಶಯನನೆ ||೬||

ಮಂದರಧರ ಅರವಿಂದಲೋಚನ ನಿನ್ನ
ಕಂದನೆಂದೆಣಿಸೊ ಎನ್ನ
ಸಂದೇಹವೇಕಿನ್ನು ಸ್ವಾಮಿ ಮುಕುಂದನೆ
ಬಂದೆನ್ನ ಕಾಯೊ ಶ್ರೀಪುರಂದರವಿಠಲ ||೭||

🌸 English Meaning:

Ugabhoga:
Let desire exist only to behold You.
Let anger arise only when I see those against You.
Let greed be to never let go of Your lotus feet.
Let me remain forever entranced by Your holy Name.

May I be drunk with the bliss of chanting Your Name,
And if there’s any envy, let it be for not becoming like Your devotees.
To be called Yours is the richest identity, O victorious Vijaya Vittala.

Bhajan:
You are the merciful, pure-hearted Govinda,
The unfathomable Mukunda known through sacred wisdom.

You are the king of the enlightened; without You, this world holds no charm.
I no longer honor earthly kings out of pride.

You destroy demons, uplift the meek,
And dwell in the still hearts of meditators.
In the silence of Your meditation, I now rest
With love, waiting like the sages Sanaka and others.

In many ways I praise You, O Smiling One,
Bird-mounted Lord!
Like a child I babble, and You smile and listen.
Come quickly and protect me, O Ocean-Sleeper!

Holder of Mount Mandara, Lotus-eyed Lord—
Consider me always as Your child.
What doubt remains now, O Mukunda?
I surrender—please protect me, O Shri Purandara Vittala!

🪔 Reflections:

This bhajan begins with a heartfelt ugabhoga, where the poet redefines desire, anger, greed, and pride—not as flaws to renounce, but as emotions to be divinely redirected. The longing here is not for the world, but for His darshan, His feet, and His name. As the actual bhajan begins, Purandara Dasa paints the image of a Lord who is not far away in scriptures, but close—smiling, listening, accepting even childish words with joy. The poet becomes a child before the eternal parent, finding refuge in innocence and love. The plea is not for power or salvation, but for presence—for Krishna to just be there. This is the heart of bhakti: not in perfection, but in total surrender, where every emotion and every breath is offered to the Lord.
