chinna nADE- kaLAnidhi - Adi

In this kruti Tyagaraja reminds Rama that he was his devotee from his childhood onwards. He doubts whether Rama saves him or abandons.

P	chinna nADE nA chEyi baTTitivi ||	You held my hand in my childhood itself.
AP	enna rAni yuDigamu gaikoni entO nannu pAlanamu chEtunani ||	You took all kinds of services from me. I hoped that you would protect me well.
C	iTTi vELa nannu viDanADadamanO Elu kondunani enchi nAvO teliya brOvavO suguNa vAri nidhi goppa daivamA tyAgarAjanutu ||	At this time I don't know whether you want to abandon me or choose to protect me.O Rama the ocean of virtues, save me.You are the great God worshipped by Tyagaraja.

Meaning:
Have you not taken me, clasping my hand from my childhood and accepted with grace numerous services from me? You had assured me of your care and protection to the last. Now it looks as if you are in two minds, unable to decide if you should accept me or abandon me to my fate. Please help me to uphold my self-respect at least as a devotee of yours. Oh Ocean of virtues! Transcendent Lord!
