Bhuvanavijayam-Karunasri

Chariot  of greatness and  victory   Bhuvanavijayam
Sweetest  dream of   Vidyaranya
Blissful form of   Minister preeminent  Timmarusu
Gift of  Victorious emperor   to   Indian  aesthetics.

 Glow of  Gems in the crown of Krishnaraya
 Radiance  of  edges of Flag of victory of ‘AndhraBhoja’
 Illumined  corners four  and horizons far
 Rained victory and enchanted   the earth.

Burned crackers at the threshold of Mother Telugu
Wafted  four corners the  fragrance of  Garden Telugu
Chariot  of greatness and  victory   Bhuvanavijayam’
Sweetest  dream of Madhava  Vidyaranya .

 Played  countrywide  The Harp of Telugu sweetly
Swung Telugu poetry  charmingly
Heard melodiously in advance
The sounds of bracelets of   damsel of ‘Karnatandhra’

Stood  proudly the tower of Hampi Virupaksha  temple
Smiled   prettily the    golden flowers of lake Pampa.
Danced  wildly   the waves   of   river Tungabhadra
Sang  melodies the pillars of musical mantap of temple.        
 

Blown today gently Malayamarut
Appeared   today poetic world with nine rasas
Bloomed today Victorious Sarat beautifully and gladly
Stretched today its golden hand the assembly of poets .

This Augustan assembly  seems like “tear of joy
Of Hanuman” on finding  Sita in Ashokavanam
Rose   fragrant bloomed
      in garden of Vidyanagar
  
Like the eight bodies of Shiva, wearer of    the  half-moon
Like the eight shoulders of  Aadi Shakthi Uma
Like the eight wives of Sri Krishna, the god of bliss
Like  the eight rasas of Bharata’s science of dance.

Symbols of eight elephants bearing the earth
Fountains of  nectarine art
Brahmas of Literature romantic
Eight poets  exact, givers of tastes anew   

Damsels with  black eyes radiant
Fanning them from either side beautifully
 The flatterers are  praising them
 Honoring them with Chandantambula.

Salutes to The grandfather of Telugu poesy !
The great Allasani of “Style Amazing”
 The King himself adorned with bracelet the leg of a poet
  Known for words tender like flowers.
         
   The  queen and teacher of beauty - Varudhini
   The  sister of the moon born out of the milky sea     
   With lotus-like eyes and beautiful breasts 
   Extols  pleasure  in voice divine

You are the  King of poets and raised a thousand hoods for poetry !
 Kasturi tilak on Saraswati’s forehead !
Modern Andhra  youth
Crave to  climb the peaks of  the Himalayas kissing  the sky
Want to play with  peacocks of beautiful feathers
And  sing a duet with  wide-eyed Varudhini.   
Ever  ready to apply liquid to their feet for travel   
Alas! No Yogi in sight !

Salutes many to the poet great  Nandi Timmana
The moon of  Sarat  who gives nectar       
 Coy movements   of your poesy are springs of  delicacy

Your Satyabhama-    synonym of    beauty and virtue
Your Parijata flower  a golden dawn  full of  freshness and   fragrance 
Sending the new couple into Nandana garden
Bringing the flower of heaven on to the earth    
Changed it into another paradise
And man into angel, your poetic Ganges!

Tender movements and ideas are your twins
 Short words – girls like moonlight  are your possessions               
 Have you listened this  funny thing?

The young women who smelt fragrance of flowers
Are synonyms of Satyabhamas in bed rooms           
Modern Krishnas out to remove annoyance
Stand carefully at pillow side ! 

 How do you do, emperor of poetry ironical?
 It’s ages since I saw you
How are Girika and Kambhoji raga?
Poetic world has learnt your irony
Progress has marked the artistic  world   
 Forget the fool Kolahala
 Shuktimati  gave a girl  like poetry.

Praise  to Pingali Suranarya!
Giver of  Kalaapurnodaya !
Creator skilful of  romantic poesy
Your word unassailable as Brahma’s word
Your poesy a mango sweet sans  parallel 
Her beauty swung   beyond
The damsels of heaven   
Had  Kalabhashini   come with you
She would have given   looks lovely  
                  And music mesmerizing.      
           
Your works forms blissful, full of wit
Sweet decorations  for Telugu sahitilakshmi .

Welcome to poet Dhurjati!
You are like Lord Shiva!
Endowed   with words  sweetest
 Adorned  with  Vibhuti and intellect best.

To witness your poetry evergreen
For a minute with eyes divine  
Eyes   grew  for Shivalinga
Miraculously in Kalahasthi Mahkshetra.   

You made devotee Timmappa put his leg
On  the visage of Shivalinga
You made poet  Natkira go into
                exile into forest  

 Your consciousness of Shiva
 Butter fresh out of pot anew of curd
 Your poetic style  a new bud
 In the  light of morning Sun.

Ayyalaraju Ramabhadraiah!
 A clarion call  for progress
 Your poetic heart  produced  a child rare   
 Apt  abhyudayam for  garden of Andhra literature.
You stepped  onto dais sweetly
Adorned bracelets to Stylish Vijayavilasam    

 Tributes to Kandukuri Rudrakavi!
 Creator of beautiful ashtakam
In a mood of   intimacy  with rambha
Your Nirankusa  sought her  union
He   gambled with Shiva
And  demanded bet like a despot.

 Great poet, Tenali Ramakrishna!
 Listen to our request

Your  Nigamasarma’s sister
Woman of  beauty pure
A sapling of mango sweet
    grown in  garden Telugu
Thanks for not fetching her to this court
Since I’m not afraid of  giving her seat
But repetition of  her lessons vedic.

Your Nigamasarmas
Are hollow men,  lusty and the nastiest
Many a man are such in our society  at present !

Victory  to Krishanraya !!
 Victory to Full moon of Bhuanavijaya !!
 Victory to the most famous king world wide!!
 Victory to the sovereign in realms of  war and literature!!  

Tender girl in garden of Tulsi
Mingling with flowers of smiles       
Brightened the  pleat  of your poetic dame  
Shone  the  bracelet of your   poesy.
  
Wearing chrysanthemums  from Aamukta malyada
 Sri Rangasai felt elated
Miracles of Maladasari and Mangakaisiki
Turned even demons into devotees.

To rescue  one elephant ran in a hurry
 Lord  Sri Krishna  with his  hair untied 
 Tending   elephants eight  in his court
 Freely and happily   Krishnaraya at present.
           
 Andhrabhoja , Kalpataru of the  servants!
Appaji is the minister sovereign!
Empire is the king’s! Literature   realm of poets!!
Prosperity  for people!! “ Let all folks live in happiness”!
