మానస సంచరరే

This is a kriti by Sadashiva Brahmendra of 18th Century. The kriti is a desire to have one's mind move around the Lord and feel his presence! Lord Sri Krishna seems to be in the periphery of the geetham.

Oh, Mind ("maanasa") ! Undertake your pilgrimage ("sancharare") in the Brahmam ! May the hairlock of Brahma ("madashiki"), meditated upon by you, be adorned ("alankrutha") with the plumes of an exhilarated peacock ("chikure") ! The cheeks ("mukure") of the Supreme One ("mahaneeya") outwit ("vijita") the brightness of a mirror ("kapola") ! He sports ("vihare") around with ("durga") Mahalakshmi ("sriramani")! For his devotees ("sevaka"), He is a Kalpavriksha ("mandaare") in the court yard ("mandira")! Supreme ("parama") ascetics ("hamsa") delight in that face-moon ("mukha-chandra") as a partridge bird ("chakore")! Oh, Mind! May your pilgrimage be in this Brahma that fills ("paripooritha") the whole Universe with the flow of the music from His flute ("muraliravadhare") !
