Dr.M.Balamurali Krishna - Emi Sethura Linga





Emi sethuraa linga emi sethu raa..

Ganga udhakamu thecchi neeku ....
Linga poojalu chedhamante....
Ganganunnaa chaapa kappa ....
Yengilantunnadhi linga...

Mahanubhava Maa Linga moorthy...
Maa deva shambo ...

Emi sethuraa linga emi sethu raa..

Akshayaavula paadi thecchi ....
Aripithamu chedhamante....
Akshayaavula lega dhooda ....
Yengilantunnadhi linga....

Mahanubhava Maa Linga moorthy....
Maa deva shambo ....

Emi sethuraa linga emi sethu raa..

Thummi Poovulu thecchi neeku ....
Thushtugaa poochedamante....
Komma kommaku koti thummedha ....
Yengilantunnadhi linga....

Mahanubhava Maa Linga moorthy....
Maa deva shambo....

Emi sethuraa Emi sethuraa Emi sethuraa....


Meaning:

A devotee is expressing his inability to offer purest things to Lord Shiva 

Let's see those purest things...

What Can I do, Oh Lord, What Can I do?
Thought of offering Water from Holy Ganges
But the baby-frog (tadpole) says the water has the spittle of Fishes and Frogs.

Thought of offering Milk of a Healthy Cow (Go-Mata)
But the Baby-Cow (Calf) says the milk has the spittle of calves.

Thought of offering  Thummi Poovu (Common Leucas Flowers)
But million bees resting on the tree branch says the flowers have the spittle of bees.

  1. Thanks for lyrics.
    Just a quick question- isnt it kodi tummedha instead of koti tummedha? Kodi tummedha also modifies the singular verb 'engili antunnadhi' linga.

  2. Thank you for line by line explanation. I was searching for exact meaning for this thattvam from long time. Philosophically the lines meaning that I understood -- Shivuniki bhakti tho aaradisthe chaalu mana acharalathone cheyalsina avasaram ledhu anesi.
