MEANING: (Courtesy: carnaticopia & Ranga Ramanuja Iyengar’s book) 

In this beautiful Bantureethi Kolu Carnatic song, Sri Thyagaraja swamy pleads with Lord Rama to give him 

the post of a guard for Rama. The symbolic meaning is that he always wants to be in his presence always 

(Sri Rama's Sannidhi). 

 

O Lord rAma! Bestow on me (“iyyavayya”) the privilege (“kolu”) of being in Your service as a servitor 

(“Bantu rIti”). 

 

In the Anupallavi, Sri Thyagaraja Swamy says that, the guard’s post should be such that he is empowered 

to destroy all the demons which are Arishadvargas (Arishad Vargas are the six passions of the mind: Kama 

- lust, craze, desire; Krodha - anger, hatred; Lobha - greed, miserliness, narrow minded; Moha - delusory 

emotional attachment; Mada or Ahankara - pride, stubborn mindedness; and Matsarya - envy, jealousy, 

show or vanity, and pride) and since the guard is empowered to do so, he needs such a guard's post. 

 

O Lord rAma! Bestow on me the privilege of being in Your service as a true (“nija”) servitor (“Bantu 

rIti”) who can knock down (“goTTi” the six internal enemies (“mad(A)dula”) beginning (“modalaina”) 

with desire kAma (sugar cane archer – “tuNTa viNTi vAni” ), conceit etc to the ground (“nEla”) by 

thrashing these (“gUla jEyu”). 

 

In the Caranam, Thyagaraja says that the sublimated (“rOmAncam(a)nu”) version of kama is devotion 

that acts as his strong shield (“ghana kancukamu”). Tyagaraja requests that he should be blessed with 

the emblem (“mudra”) of Ramabhakti (“rAma bhaktuD(a)nu”), given a sword (“khaDgamivi”) called 

Rama Naama (the name of Rama) to perform his guard's job. - O Lord! all these will shine 

(“rAjillun(a)yya”) on the person of this tyAgarAja

paataanu ardhaani kuuni chesi , dhaaniki malli sangeethamani perupetti avahelana chesey paatalu vini chethulu chaachi chappatlu kottaalaaa??

adhrushyamaipothunnaayaney nepamutho yedho oka rakanga bayataku vasthunnaayele ani aanandhichaalaa?

 

anyways, nice attempt with lot of mistakes

example: kolu yendhayyaa kolu .... koluvu analeru?? meaning maaripoley
