Meaning of the Keraya neeranu :

============================
Those who regard everything in life as God's gift and surrender
entirely to Him receive His blessings. Purandhara Dhaasa has
compared this offering of water of a lake unto itself.
In this geetham, Purandaradasa describes the attributes
of the devotees of the god Hari. Look (“kanero”)! Followers of
Hari scoop water from the (“neeranu”) lake (“kere”) and again
pour (“jalli”) it back into the lake (“kere ge”) while worshipping
with the intention of obtaining the boons (“varava padeda rante”)
from the god.
In a similar manner the life given as a considerate bequest
(“karunadalaya bhagyavu”) by Hari (“hariya”) is surrendered
back to him (“hari samarpana”).
These holy men spend their lives (“bradukeru”) by feasting
their eyes (“nodi”) on the lotus feet (“charana kamalava”)
of the god who is the master of Purandara dasa
(sri purandara vittala rayani).
