Dimbadhalliruva Jeeva (Lyrics & Meaning)

Dheva Kavi : Kanaka Dasaru Avathara : Yama Dharma Period : 1509 – 1609 Genre : Vairagya Crux : Here, dasar gently reminds us the truth of life to live meaningfully, since human birth is precious and we do not have an undo option in real life..! Every vairagya padha of Shri Kanaka Dasaru is a unique gem! Dimbadhalliruva Jeeva kambasoothra gombeyanthe, Yendhigadharondhu dhina saavu thapadho..! Meaning : The soul inside the body is like a puppet held by the pole & the string. Some day or the other, death is inevitable. Huttuthenu tharalilla, sayuthenu oiyyalilla, Suttu suttu sunna dharalu aiyithu ee dheha.. Hotte balu kettadhendhu, eshtu kashta madidharu, bittu hoguvaga genu batte kanadho...! Meaning : We neither bring anything when we come, nor do we take anything when we leave. All we leave behind is the limestone (calcium carbonate) when the human body is burnt. We can blame the stomach, for which we do everything to make livelihood, but when we leave, we cannot even take the clothes which we wore finally. Hathu entu laksha galisi mathe saladhendhu parara, arthakagi aase pattu nyaya maduvaro.. Bitti belasu thanadhendhu vyartha chintheyannu madi, sathu hodhamela artha yarigagudho...? Meaning : Even after earning in lakhs, he not satisfied with his wealth and desires for other's fortune. He assumes all that he has sown and reaped is his possession, but it is someone else going to enjoy it after his death! Hennu, Honnu, Mannu, Mooru thannallidhu unnalilla, Anna thamma thaayi thandhe bayasalagadho.. Anna vasthra bogakagi, thanna sukava kanalilla, Mannu paalu aadha mela yaarigagudho...? Meaning : He did not enjoy when he had his woman, gold and land in possession. He neither wanted his father, mother or brothers. For the pleasure of food and clothing, he missed to enjoy, but once he is in the possession of soil, it is someone else who is going to enjoy all that he had saved. Belli bangara itukondu, ollae vasthra hoddhukondu, Challa pilla gombeyanthae aagihodhane... halla haridhu hoguvaga, gullae bandhu odeyuvanthe, gullae poreyanthe kano samsaradha aata...! Meaning : He possessed gold and silver, got dressed his best, and got pampered like a toy. But all these are just like a bubble forming and disappearing while the water runs through the low and high. Varthe, Keerthi embo eradu, satha myale bandhavaiya, vasthu prana nayakanu, hyange dhorakuvanu..? Karthru kaagi nelayadhi keshavana sharana kamala, Nithyadhali bhajisi, sukhiyagi balelo...! Meaning : Fame and status are the two things gained after death. But how will one attain the lord of all the material and living things? Praise and celebrate the lotus feet of Karthru (the real doer) shri mahavishnu always and stay blissful, the bliss of which is permanent and which helps us cross the samsara. Jai Shri Krishna...!
