📜 Original Kannada Lyrics
ಕೈ ಮೀರಿ ಹೋದ ಮಾತಿಗೆ ಮರುಗಬಾರದು |
ಮೈ ಮೇಲೆ ಎಚ್ಚರಿಲ್ಲದೆಲೆ ತಿರುಗಬಾರದು ||ಕೈ ಮೀರಿ||
ತಂದೆ ತಾಯಿ ಮಾತು ಕೇಳದ ,ಮಕ್ಕಳಿರಲೆ ಬಾರದು |
ಬಂಧು ಬಳಗದಲ್ಲಿ ಜಗಳವಾಡಬಾರದು |
ನಡತೆ ಹೀನಳಾಗಿ ಹೆಣ್ಣು ಬಾಳಬಾರದು ||
ಕಡು ವೈರತ್ವ ಮಾಡುವವನ ಮಾತು ಕೇಳಬಾರದು |
ಮಾತು ಕೇಳಬಾರದು || ಕೈ ಮೀರಿ||
ಸತಿ ಸುತರಿಗೆ ಪುರುಷ ವಂಚನೆ ಮಾಡಬಾರದು |
ಅತಿ ಉನ್ಮತ್ತನಾಗಿ ಧರ್ಮ ಹಳಿಯಬಾರದು ||
ಆಚಾರವಿಲ್ಲದವರ ಮನೆಯ ಊಟಮಾಡಬಾರದು |
ವಿಚಾರವಿಲ್ಲದ ಸಭೆಯಲಿ ಕೂಡಬಾರದು || ಕೈ ಮೀರಿ||
ಪಂಕ್ತಿಯೊಳಗೆ ಭೇಧಮಾಡಿ ಬಡಿಸಬಾರದು |
ಬಿಂಕದಿಂದ ಪರರ ಮನಸ್ಸು ನೋಯಿಸಬಾರದು ||
ಸಾವುನೋವುಗಳು ಇಲ್ಲವೆಂದು ತಿಳಿಯಬಾರದು |
ದೇವನೊಬ್ಬ ಇರುವನೆಂದು ಮರೆಯಬಾರದು |
ಪರರ ಸಂಪತ್ತು ನೋಡಿ ಮನದಿ ಕೊರಗಬಾರದು ||
ಗುರು ಪುರಂದರವಿಠ್ಠಲರಾಯನ ಕೊಂಡಾಡದೇ ಇರಲೆಬಾರದು…
ಇರಲೆಬಾರದು ||ಕೈ ಮೀರಿ||

🪔 Reflection
Saint Purandara Dasa, revered as the father of Carnatic music, was not only a composer but a compassionate teacher of life itself. His songs were meant for ordinary people living ordinary lives — guiding them gently toward righteousness. This composition reads almost like a moral compass for daily living. It speaks about discipline in speech, respect within family, honesty in relationships, humility in society, and constant remembrance of God.
The saint reminds us that spirituality does not begin in temples; it begins in behaviour. How we speak, eat, treat others, and control pride becomes our true worship. Even today, many conflicts arise from careless words, ego, comparison, and forgetting gratitude. Purandara Dasa quietly asks us to return to simplicity — live with awareness, fairness, and devotion.
Are our actions bringing peace to others or disturbance?
Do we remember the Divine during success as much as during difficulty?
When life becomes guided by values rather than impulses, devotion naturally flowers. Praising the Lord then is no longer ritual — it becomes the very rhythm of living.
