Dear members,
     adiyEn's namaskArams.
     On this day of Lord Krishna's birth, I would like to submit a composition on the Lord at His Holy Feet and share with you all.
     This composition is set in thOdi.

pallavi:     gIthai nAyakA gOpAlA! karuNAkarA!  
                bhaktha jana pAlakA!                             (gIthaiÂ…)

anupallavi:    pAdhamE gathi ena nambina pErukku
	        nanmArgam kAttum parandhAmA!    (gIthaiÂ…)

charaNam:    mukkODi dEvarum maRai uNar munivarum
	         paNindhu vaNangum jagadISA!
	         agaNDa lOkatthai viritthaLandhu koNDa
	         vikrama simmA! jagath kAraNA!     (gIthaiÂ…)

Meaning:
pallavi:  He is the Hero of Gita and protector of vEdAs! He is full of mercy! He is the supreme caretaker of His Bhaktha kOtis!

anupallavi: He is the parandhAman who shows the divine path to liberation for those who surrender at His Holy Feet!

charaNam: He is the Iswaran for the Universe, whom all the 30 crore dEvAs and vEdic sages adore and glorify! He is the vikrama simmam (as vAmanA and nr~simhA) who spreaded himself and measured this vast Universe! He is the Supreme cause for this Universe!

I beg your pardon for any music/language related flaws in this work.
