Nannu Palimpa - Mohanam

Описание: https://smahadevan.in/​
"Nannu Palimpa" is more than just a song; it is a legendary musical dialogue between a devotee and his deity, specifically composed during a moment of spontaneous spiritual ecstasy.

The song's deep emotional resonance stems from its historical context:
-- A Gift of Devotion: In 1810, during the marriage of Saint Tyagaraja’s daughter, his devoted disciple Walajapet Venkataramana Bhagavatar brought a beautiful portrait of Lord Kodanda Rama as a gift.
-- The "Walk": The disciple had traveled a great distance on foot from Walajapet to Tiruvaiyaru carrying the heavy portrait.
-- Tyagaraja’s Reaction: When Tyagaraja saw the portrait approaching, he didn't just see a painting; he felt as though Lord Rama himself had walked all that way to bless him. He burst into this song, asking, "Nannu Palimpa Nadachi Vachitivo?" ("Did you walk all this way just to protect me?")

The main refrain, expressing disbelief and gratitude for the Lord's "walk". Describes his life's purpose—gazing upon the lotus-eyed face of the Lord—and acknowledges that the Lord knows his inner mind (Manasu Marmamu). The Charanam vividly describes about the Lord’s physical beauty: his sapphire-like blue skin (Nila Mani Nibha), pearl necklaces (Mutyapu Sarula), and his iconic Kodanda bow, standing alongside Sita (Dharani Tanaya).
