Transliteration of the Saranāgatī Song

(composed by Manavasi V.Ramaswamy Iyer in 1914)

Pallavi

Saranāgatī Un Para Nan Inippugathunaithan Yedu Nee Pugalai — Saranāgatī

Anupallavi

Smaranath Gathi Phala Arunachala Nirai
Ramana. . . Karuna. . . Varuna
    (Saranāgatī)

Saranam

Tharunam Idu Vanro Karunai Nokkave
Kalaharanam Aakkidil Haa Haa En Seiven
Thunbai Neekki Inbai Alikka En Anba
Innam Paramukham Ennal Thaladayya
Sri Vediya
    (Saranāgatī)

Translation

Pallavi

I surrender — unto you
Where else am I to surrender myself tell me
    (I surrender)

Anupallavi

Who is perfect in Arunachala
Which endows one with ultimate Release
O Ramana, Raincloud of Compassion!

    (I surrender)

Saranam

Is this not the appropriate time
For granting me your glance of Grace?
If you delay, Lo! What am I to do?
My beloved, remove my sorrow
and grant me Bliss

I can't bear indifference any further,
O Vediya (One who is Brahman Itself)
    (I surrender myself unto you)
