संगीत ज्ञानमु भक्ति विना

सन्मार्गमु कलदे मनसा

. भृंगि न(टे)श समीरज घटज

मतंग नार(दा)दु(लु)पासिञ्चे (सं)

न्या(या)न्यायमु तॆलुसुनु जगमुलु

मायामय(म)नि तॆलुसुनु दुर्गुण

काय(जा)दि ष(ड्रि)पुल जयिञ्चु

कार्यमु तॆलुसुनु त्यागराजुनिकि (सं)

=============================

My Mind!

• Mere knowledge of music bereft of devotion will not lead to the right path (of God realization).

• Music is worshipped by bhRngi (a devotee of Siva), Lord naTarAja, AnjanEya, sage agastya, matanga, nArada and others. Therefore, mere knowledge of music bereft of bhakti will not lead to the right path (of God realization).

• Knowledge of music together with bhakti will lead to the right path (of God realization) through which -

  • what is right and what is not (right) can be known;

  • the truth that this universe is of the nature of illusion can be known;

  • the method of gaining victory over evil-some six (internal) enemies - kAma etc. (kAma, krOdha, lObha, mOha, mada and mAtsarya) can be known.

• To this tyAgarAja, mere knowledge of music bereft of bhakti will not lead to the right path (of God realization).
