Tirumala Giriraya Lyrics in Telugu
పల్లవి
తిరుమలగిరిరాయ దేవరాహుత్తరాయ
సురతవిన్నాణరాయ సుగుణకోనేటిరాయ
చరణం 1
సిరుల సింగారరాయ చెలువపు తిమ్మరాయ
సరస వైభవరాయ సకలవినోదరాయ
వర వసంతములరాయ వనితల విటరాయ
గురుతైన తేగరాయ కొండల కోనేటిరాయ
చరణం 2
గొల్లెతల వుద్దండరాయ గోపాలకృష్ణరాయ
చల్లు వెదజాణరాయ చల్లఁ బరిమళరాయ
చెల్లుబడి దర్మరాయ చెప్పరాని వలరాయ
కొల్లలైన భోగరాయ కొండల కోనేటిరాయ
చరణం 3
సామసంగీతరాయ సర్వమోహనరాయ
ధామవైకుంఠరాయ దైత్యవిభాళరాయ
కామించి నిన్నుఁ గోరితే గరుణించితివి నన్ను
శ్రీమంతుఁడ నీకు జయ శ్రీవేంకటరాయ

Sri Annamacharya: The 15th Century Telugu Saint-Poet
Sri Tallapaka Annamacharya, popularly known as Annamayya, is a mystic saint-poet born in 1408 CE in Tallapaka a small village in the then Kadapa district (now Annamayya district) of Andhra Pradesh.
He was born to Narayana Suri and Lakkamamba, in a Telugu Brahmin family that popularised Vaishnavite faith in Andhra Pradesh in the 15th and 16th centuries.
Annamayya spent most of his life in composing 'Keertanas' and 'Padams' on Sri Venkateswara Swamy. He is regarded as 'Telugu Padakavi Pitamaha': the grand old man of Telugu poetry.
He also authored 12 Satakams, Ramayana in the form of Dwipada Sankeertana Lakshnam, Sringara Manjari and Venkatachala Mahatyam. Most of his works are in Telugu and Sanskrit languages.
Annamayya dedicated his life and compositions to Sri Venkateswara Swamy. His compositions are engraved on copper plates and are treasured in Sankeertana Bhandaram - a rock-built cell opposite the Hundi at Sri Venkateswara Swamy Temple in Tirumala. And these remained unnoticed for over 400 years.
He is one of the greatest saint-poets of Telugu literature and devotional music. He is widely regarded as the first known composer of Telugu keertanas and is known as the 'Toli Telugu Vaggeyakara' i.e. the first lyricist, composer and singer of the Telugu literature.
Annamayya is one of the earliest known musicians of India to compose more than 32,000 songs known as 'Sankeertanalu'. His songs are a beautiful combination of devotion, philosophy, ethics, and spiritualism. Most of his songs are sung in typical Telugu folk style which continue to be sung and cherished even today.
