Pancharatna kriti 2 - Dudukugala Nanne - Ragam Gowlla

In this second pancharatna kriti, Tyagaraja lists all the errors he has committed in his life and asks who but Rama would redeem such a sinner. Many of these so-called sins continue to bedevil the human race today and the message of Tyagaraja is therefore timeless. Among these sins are included: just wandering around as though being satisfied with a full meal, giving sermons to people who are really not interested in listening or who are too incompetent to understand, self-styling oneself as a great person, and mistaking the dross for the real thing. Interestingly he lists the four categories of irrelevant people before whom he has tried to pass off as a great man; these are respectively teliyani, natavita, shudrulu and vanitalu (the ignorant, the riff-raff, the shudras or low caste folk and women). In a play on words, he bemoans those who crave for satulu (wives) and sutulu (progeny).
