Sathamai Shankhachakrala sandula vaidhooryamu I guess Annamayya stresses the little Krishna, (in his physical form)is adored by shepard-woman of all ages(young and old) when he says that he fits in their palms as ruby. He is the little Krishna within everyone's reach. He is the Emerald bead of the splendid lustrous three worlds He is the Diamond that reigns over the stubbornly acting Kansa He is the Ruby in every( small and big, this and that) shepard-woman's palm а°ља±†а°‚а°¤а°Іchenthala= within vicinity, neighborhood а°®а°ѕа°Іа±‹а°Ёа±Ѓа°Ёа±Ќа°Ё maalonunna= one who is within us а°ља°їа°Ёа±Ќа°Ёа°ї chinni= little а°•а±ѓа°·а±Ќа°Ја±Ѓа°Ўа±Ѓ= Krishnudu а°•а°ѕа°‚а°¤а±Ѓа°І Kanthula= of spledour, lustre а°®а±‚а°Ўа±Ѓ moodu= three а°Іа±‹а°•а°ѕа°І lokala= worlds а°—а°°а±Ѓа°Ў а°Єа°ља±Ќа°ља°ѕ GarudaPachha= Emerald а°Єа±‚а°ё poosa= bead а°Єа°‚а°¤а°®а°ѕа°Ўа±‡ Panthamaade= (Panthamu+ade= obstinate+play) one who acts stubbonly а°•а°‚а°ёа±Ѓа°Ёа°ї Kansuni= Kansa's а°Єа°ѕа°Іа°ї paali= one who reigns а°µа°ња±Ќа°°а°®а±Ѓ Vajramu= Diamond а°…а°‚а°¤а°Ёа°їа°‚а°¤Anthanintha =(Antha+intha) that much and this much а°—а±Ља°Іа±Ќа°Іа±†а°¤а°І gollethala =(Golletha+la) of the shepard-woman а°…а°°а°ља±‡а°¤а°ї arachethi= palm а°®а°ѕа°Ја°їа°•а±Ќа°Їа°®а±Ѓ manikyamu= Ruby Kaanthula moodu lokala Garudapachhaapoosa In this stanza, Annamayya adeptly praises Yashoda, Devaki and Krishna at the same time.ДЄnthanintha gollethala arachethi manikyamu So he says, 'He is the son of Devaki, the one whose greatness/miracles cannot be altered'. So Annamayya describes how miraculous/great she was to give birth to Krishna.

Since Krishna grew up in Yashoda's house, He bejewels the courtyard of her house like a pearl.Дevaki herself had to undergo many haardships and miracles to give birth to Kishna. Another word Annamayya uses to hint us about her fostering him is 'mungita', the courtyard. So Annamayya describes Yashoda as the one who showers/pours out Kisses/love, in other words, a benevolent woman. Yashoda is the foster mother and nurtures him until He kills Kansa and meets his birth mother Devaki. Here Annamayya describes the two mothers of Krishna. He is the son of Devaki, the one whose greatness/miracles cannot be altered He is the pearl of the courtyard of Yashoda, who(Yashoda) showers/pours out love

For rahu/uranus it is hassonite( garter), gomedha, Gomedhikamu in Telugu.Д©. For saturn it is blue saphire, neelam in hindi, Neelamu in Telugu.ДЁ. For venus it is diamond, heera in Hindi, and vajram in Telugu.Д§.

For jupiter it is yellow saphire, called pukhraj in Hindi and pushyaraagam in Telugu.Д¦. For mercury it is emerald, panna in Hindi, and Garudapachcha in telugu.ДҐ. For the mars it is red coral, moonga in Hindi, and pagadam in telugu.Д¤. For the moon it is pearl, called moti in HIndi and muthyam in Telugu.ДЈ. For the Sun it is ruby, called manik in Hindi, and maanikyam in Telugu.Дў. The nine gem stones for the nine planets are as follows in english, hindi, and telugu:ДЎ. The comparison and the adjectives Annamayya uses are simply enthralling, as seen always in his other works.ДЄpparently, each planet (graha) has a gem stone associated and hence the famous navaratna for 9 planets. In this work, Annamayya compares Krishna during his various acts(leelas) to precious gems or nava ratna(9 gems) and at the same time also describes the people related to Him in each verse. This is a very sweet keerthanam by Ananmacharya that oozes out with his love for the Lord Krishna and his knowledge about the jewels(gems).
