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 ri”) In the Anupallavi, Sri Thyagaraja Swamy says that, the guard’s post should be such that he is empowered to destroy al the deme which are Arishadvargas (Arishad Vargas are the six passions of the mind: Kama - lust, craze, desire; Krodha - anger, hatred; Lo greed, miserliness, narrow minded; Moha - delusory emotional attachment; Mada or Abankara - pride, stubbom mindedness, an Matsatya - envy, jealousy, show or vanity, and pride) and since the guard is empowered to do so, he needs such a guard's post 0 Lord rAma! Bestow on me the privilege of being in Your service as a true (“nija”) servitor (“Bantu r1ti”) who can knock de (g0TTi” the six internal enemies (“mad(A)dula”) beginning (“modalaina”) with desire kAma (sugar cane archer — “tuNTa vAni”), conceit etc 10 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 stron; Shield (“ghana kancukamu”). Tyagaraja requests that he should be blessed with the emblem (“mudra”) of Ramabhakti (“rAt bhaktuD(a)nu"), given a sword (“khaDgamivi") called Rama Naama (the name of Rama) to perform his guard's job. - O Lor ‘these will shine (“rAjillun(a)yya”) on the person of this tAgarAja. Notes: Anupallavi : uNTa viNTi vAni modalaina ~ As per telugu dictionary, ‘wNTa vilukADu' refers to cupid, This seems to have beet slightly modified by Srl tyAgarAja as Na viNTivADu. Therefore, twNTa viNTivADu' should be taken to mean kAma’, Accordingly, the anupallavi would read kAma modalaina madAdula goTTi nEla gUla jEyu nj Anupallavi : goT'Ti- this is how itis given in all the books other than that of TKG, where itis given as baTTi, As 'goTT¥' seems appropriate, the same has been adopted, Charanam ; the word ending 'w in rOmancamanu, rAma bhaktuDanu and rAma nAmamanu are as given in the books of CR, ATI TSV/AKG. However, in the book of TKG, these are given with ending'E? Pallavi baNTu rit koluv(iyya(v)ayya rAma O Lord rAma! Bestow on me Your service as a servitor (“Bantu rit?’ wayya”) the privilege (“kolu”) of being. 10121721, 5:10 PM swvw.shiveumarot Bantureeth
