Sri:
Srimathe Ramanujaya nama:
Dear devotees,
Sri Purandara dAsa(SrimanNArAyaNa bhaktA)had composed a 
beautiful krti "sakala graha bala nInE" addressing none other than 
NArAyaNA. I don't understand why srivaishNavAs see jAthakam/worship 
demi-gods. Enjoy the song and its meaning. Watch the movie "swara 
bhUSaNi" if possible. It's about Purandara's life.

sakala graha bala nInE sarasijAkshA |p|
nikhila vyApakanE vishwa rakshaka nIne |a|


Meaning : O Lord with eyes resembling lotus, you are the one who has 
powers of all grahAs (planets), and protects the entire universe.

divarAthriyu nIne nava vidhAnavu nIne

Meaning : 

You are sun, moon, venus, rahu,ketu,or any other planet. You 
are day or night, you are the nine vidhAnAs (6 vedAngAs, mImAmsa, 
nyAya, vyAkaraNa), you are the physician who can cure 'bhava' disease 
(which makes us take birth in this world). 


pakshmAsavu nIne parva kAlavu nIne

akshayavAgi draupatiya mAnakAyda

Meaning : 

You are the pakshamAsa (the month which is suitable to give tarpaNa 
to our forfothers), you are the parva kAla (eclipse), you are good 
times or inauspicious times, you, the one who protected draupadi by 
giving infinite saree, are the one who has garuDa as your vehicle and 
protects everyone. 

rtu vatsaravu nIne pruthivigAdiyu nInE

jitavAgiyennoDeya purandara viTalane
shrutige silukada apratima mahima nInE |3|


Meaning : 

You are rtu vatsara, ugAdi (year begining), all kinds of hOmas, and 
yagnas, you are the one to be reached (mOksha), O my Lord, purandara 
viTala, you are the one who is beyond even the vEdAs (the one who 
cannot be known just by vEdAs either).
