ದೋಷಪರಿಹಾರಾಷ್ಟಕಮ್ ಸಾರ್ಥಮ್ Lyrics in Kannada:
ಅನ್ಯಸ್ಯ ದೋಷಗಣನಾಕುತುಕಂ ಮಮೈತದಾವಿಷ್ಕರೋತಿ ನಿಯತಂ ಮಯಿ ದೋಷವತ್ತ್ವಮ್ ।
ದೋಷಃ ಪುನರ್ಮಯಿ ನ ಚೇದಖಿಲೇ ಸತೀಶೇ ದೋಷಗ್ರಹಃ ಕಥಮುದೇತು ಮಮೇಶ ತಸ್ಮಿನ್ ॥ 1॥
1) O Lord! My inclination in finding fault with others definitely shows my imperfection. If there is no flaw in myself,
then everyone will become Isha and if so, how will I be able to find fault with others?
ಏಷಾ ವ್ಯಥೇತಿರಕೃತೇತಿ ಮಮೇಶ ತಸ್ಮಿನ್ ಕೋಪೋ ಯದಿ ಸ್ವಪರಕಾಮಮುಖಪ್ರಸೂತಾ ।
ಸೇಯಂ ವ್ಯಥೇತಿ ಮಯಿ ಮೇ ನ ಕಥನ್ನು ಕೋಪಃ ಸ್ವಸ್ಯ ವ್ಯಥಾ ಸ್ವದುರಿತಪ್ರಭವಾ ಹಿ ಸರ್ವಾ ॥ 2॥
2) O Lord! I am angry with others because I feel that I am subjected to this suffering because of them. When my wish/liking and others’ wishes/likings clash, then should I not get angry with myself too, since I am also a reason for the clash of the wishes/likings? Further, is it not true that this suffering is a result of my own sins, because my wish/liking did not succeed and so I get angry?
ಕಾಮಭೃತ್ಯಖಿಲದೋಷನಿಧೇರ್ಮಮೈಷ ಮಯ್ಯಾಹ ದೋಷಮಿತಿ ಕೋ ನು ದುರಾಗ್ರಹೋಂಽಸ್ಮಿನ್ ।
ಹೇಯತ್ವಮಾಲಪತಿ ಯೋಽಯಮಲಂ ನ ಕೇನ ವಾರ್ಯೋಽಥ ಸತ್ವವತಿ ಸೋಽಯಮಸತ್ಕಿಮಾಹ ॥ 3॥
3) I am the repository of all imperfections such as lust and anger. Why should I get angry just because he pointed
out at my imperfection? Did he point this on a person who is blemishless? (No) He merely reiterated I am marred by a
blemish which is avoidable.
ಯಃ ಸಂಶ್ರಿತಃ ಸ್ವಹಿತ ಧೀರ್ವ್ಯಸನಾತುರಸ್ತದ್ದೋಷಸ್ಯ ತಂ ಪ್ರತಿ ವಚೋಽಸ್ತು ತದನ್ಯದೋಷಂ ।
ಯದ್ವಚ್ಮಿ ತನ್ಮಮ ನ ಕಿಂ ಕ್ಷತಯೇ ಸ್ವದೋಷಚಿನ್ತೈವ ಮೇ ತದಪನೋದಫಲೋಚಿತಾತಃ ॥ 4॥
4) If someone comes to me considering me as a well-wisher then I can perhaps point out his blemishes. Else, will not
this habit of pointing out blemishes of others result in my own downfall? If the recognition of one’s own blemishes is
used to eradicate those blemishes, then it is apt.
ದೋಷಂ ಪರಸ್ಯ ನನು ಗೃಹ್ಣತಿ ಮಯ್ಯನೈನ ಸ್ವಾತ್ಮೈಷ ಏವ ಪರಗಾತ್ರಸಮಾಹೃತೇನ
ದುರ್ವಸ್ತುನೇವ ಮಲಿನೀಕ್ರಿಯತೇ ತದನ್ಯದೋಷಗ್ರಹಾದಹಹ ಕಿಂ ನ ನಿವರ್ತಿತವ್ಯಮ್ ॥ 5॥
5) My mind becomes dirty by carrying the resulting dirt through criticism of others. Hence shoud I not avoid such a habit?
ನಿರ್ದೋಷಭಾವಮಿತರಸ್ಯ ಸದೋಷಭಾವಂ ಸ್ವಸ್ಯಾಪಿ ಸಂವಿದಧತೀ ಪರದೋಷಧೀರ್ಮೇ ।
ಆಸ್ತಾಮಿಯಂ ತದಿತರಾ ತು ಪರಾರ್ತಿಮಾತ್ರಹೇತುರ್ವ್ಯನಕ್ತು ನ ಕಥಂ ಮಮ ತುಚ್ಛಭಾವಮ್॥ 6॥
6) This crticising tendency actually will only confirm that the blemish is within myself and not in others. Further this
tendency will cause discomfort to others. Will that not show my meanness and pettiness?
ಪದ್ಮಾದಿಸೌರಭ ಇವ ಭ್ರಮರಸ್ಯ ಹರ್ಷಂ ಹಿತ್ವಾನ್ಯದೀಯಸುಗುಣೇ ಪುನರನ್ಯದೋಷೇ ।
ಹರ್ಷೋ ದುರರ್ಥ ಇವ ಗೇಹಕಿಟೇಃ ಕಿಮಾಸ್ತೇ ಹಾ ಮೇ ಕದೇಶ ಕೃಪಯಾ ವಿಗಲೇತ್ಸ ಏಷಃ ॥ 7॥
7) When I see greatness in others, I get pleasure in the same way as a bee gets pleasure by smelling lotus flower. But when I find fault with others, I get pleasure in the same way as a pig gets pleasure when it gets into the gutter. O Lord! When will I get absolved of this blemish by Your blessing?
ದೋಷೇ ಸ್ವಭಾಜಿ ಮತಿಕೌಶಲಮನ್ಯಭಾಜಿ ಮೌಢ್ಯಂ ಗಣೇಽನ್ಯಜುಷಿ ಹರ್ಷಭರಃ ಸ್ವಭಾಜಿ ।
ಅಸ್ತಪ್ರಸಕ್ತಿರಖಿಲೇಷು ದಯಾತ್ಯುದಾರವೃತ್ಯೋರ್ಜಿತೋ ಮಮ ಕದಾಽಸ್ತು ಹರಾನುರಾಗಃ ॥ 8॥
8) Let the intellect be used to recognize and eradicate one’s own blemishes and not with others’. Let there be
pleasure through seeing greatness of others. Let there be no attachment, should there be greatness in self. Let there
be love for all. O Lord! When will I get this supreme mental stature through which I get unswerving bhakti unto You?
॥ ಇತಿ ಶ್ರೀಶ್ರೀಧರ ಅಯ್ಯಾವಾಲಕೃತ ದೋಷಪರಿಹಾರಾಷ್ಟಕಂ ಸಮ್ಪೂರ್ಣಮ್ ॥
