Nee Namame Maku - Annamacharya SanKeerthana with meanings by Neelaveni (Kapila) Athreyapurapu)

This Annamayya Song is in Thilang Ragam, Aadi Talam. Sri Annamacharya is quoting all the names of SrImannArAyaNan in the vyUha rUpam in the first 2 charaNams. These are the four mUrtis specified in the SrI viSNu sahasranAma SlOka: "chaturmUrtish chaturbhAhur chaturvyUhash chaturgatihi.....". According to pAncharAtra Agama, at the time of creation, SrImannArAyaNan (paravAsudEvan) expands himself 4 svarUpams: vAsudEva, sankarSaNa, aniruddha, pradyumna. Each of these 4 deities are glorified with 3 names which we use in angasparSam after Achamanam. Also, these four forms are the root for all the avatarams, viz ANDAL's tiruppAvai #6 "veLLattaravil tuyil amarda vittu". (The seed which lay down on the white serpent.) These are names of the SrImannArAyanan in the reclining posture at tiruppArkaDal. This is where the dEvas, headed by chaturmukha brahmA, go and cry when the daityas give them trouble! tiruppArkaDal should not be confused with paramapadam/SrIvaikuNTam. The respective name classifications are as follows: vAsudEva - kESava, nArAyaNa, mAdhavA, sankarSaNa - gOvinda, viSNu, madhusUdhana aniruddha - trivikrama, vAmana, SrIdhara pradyumna - hRSikEsa, padhmanAbha, dAmOdhara. The last charaNam quotes names which describe two qualities of each vAsudEva, sankarSaNa, aniruddha and pradhyumna, not in any specific order. To quote parASarabhaTTar SrIrangarAjastavam SlOkam #39, describing the vyUham rUpam of SrIranganAthan: shADguNyAt vAsudeva: para iti sa bhavAn mukta bhogyA: bala ADhyAt bodhAt sankarshaNa: tvam harasi vitanushe SAstram aiSvarya vIryAt | pradyumna: sarga dharmau nayasi ca bhagavan Saktiteja: aniruddha: bibhrANa: pAsi tatvam gamayasi ca tathA vyUhya rangadhirAja || Smt.
