Ani Yanatichche - అని యానతిచ్చె | Annamayya Lyrics | Sankeertanalu | Songs | Telugu & English
Introduction
This Keertana was composed by the legendary saint-poet Tallapaka Annamacharya. In this composition, Annamacharya beautifully encapsulates the essence of the Purushottama Yogamu (The Yoga of the Supreme Person), as described by Lord Sri Krishna to Arjuna in the Bhagavad Gita. Through these verses, Annamacharya conveys how the Lord manifests as the sustainer of all living beings, the digestive fire within, and the ultimate source of all wisdom, residing eternally on the holy hills of Tirumala.

అని యానతిచ్చెఁ గృష్ణుఁ డర్జునునితో (రాగం: ) (తాళం : )
అని యానతిచ్చెఁ గృష్ణుఁ డర్జునునితో
విని యాతని భజించు వివేకమా // పల్లవి //
భూమిలోను చొచ్చి సర్వభూతప్రాణులనెల్ల
దీమసాన మోచేటిదేవుఁడ నేను
కామించి సస్యములు గలిగించి చంద్రుఁడనై
తేమల బండించేటిదేవుఁడ నేను // అని //
దీపనాగ్నినై జీవదేహములయన్నములు
తీపుల నరగించేటిదేవుఁడ నేను
యేపున నిందరిలోనిహృదయములోన నుందు
దీపింతుఁ దలఁపుమరపై దేవుఁడ నేను // అని //
