O My Mind! Devotion, together with the nectarine juice of svara and rAga, is indeed heaven and also liberation!

caraNam 1

Knowing (erugTE) nAda (nAdamu) (nAdameruguTE) originating from mUlAdhAra (mUlAdhAraja) is, indeed the blissful (mudamagu) liberation (mOkshamu) (mOkshamura);

O My Mind (manasA)! Recognising (gurutu) (gurutE) the abodes (gRhamula) (in the body) of the splendorous (kOlAhala) seven (sapta) svaras is indeed liberation (mOkshamu) (mOkshamurA);

O My Mind! Devotion, together with the nectarine juice of svara and rAga, is indeed heaven and also liberation!
