*Lyrics*
Dēvādhi dēva śrī vāsudēva
Kāvumayya nannu karuṇālavāla
Ī vēḷa nā yāru śatrulanu1
Nīvē pāradrōli nija bhaktu jēsi
Nē jēsina pujā balamō
Nā pūrvajula puṇya phalamō
Śrī jānakīśa ī janmamicci
Nannu dhanyunigā bhuvi jēsitivi
*Meaning*
Sri Vasudeva, God of gods!
Please protect me, O repository of compassion!
At once, drive afar my Six Enemies
And make me a true devotee.
Is it by the strength of my puja,
Or the results of my ancestors' good deeds,
O Lord of Janaki, that giving me this birth,
You made me blessed in this world.
*About Aruna Sairam*
Aruna Sairam (Padma Shri) is a Carnatic vocalist, composer, collaborator, humanitarian, and speaker. In addition to her performances in India, Aruna has taken Carnatic music to the global arena, at prestigious venues including the Royal Albert Hall and Carnegie Hall. Currently Vice Chairperson of the Sangeet Natak Akademi, Delhi, she was appointed in 2008 by the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu as Advisor to the Department of Culture. Aruna works towards the musical education of underprivileged students, through the Nadayogam Trust, which she founded in 2011. Aruna is grateful for the training she received under her mother Rajalakshmi Sethuraman and the legendary T. Brinda, and the mentorship from several masters throughout her musical journey. Her music erased geographic borders when she was the first to incorporate Abhang, a Western Indian musical form, into a traditional, South Indian concert.
