Rangapura Vihara Lyrics
Sriranga mangala nidim karuna nivasam
Sri venkataadri sikarlaya kala mekam
Sri hasthisaila sikarrojvala parijatham
Ragnapure vihara
Sri rangapaura vihara
Jaya kodanda ramavathara raghuveera
Sri rangapura vihara
Jaya kodanda ramavathara raghuvira
Angaja janaka deva
Angaja janaka deva
Brindavana saragendra
Varada ramanta ranga
Angaja janaka deva
Brindavana sarangendra
Varada ramanta ranga
Shymalanga vihanga turanga
Sadayapanga sastanga
Rangapura vihara
Shymalanga vihanga turanga
Sadayapanga satsanga
Rangapura vihara
Jaya kodanada rama vathara raghuveera
Pankarajapta kula jalanidi soma
Pankarajapta kula jalanidi soma vara
Pankaja mukha pattabhi rama
Pankajapatka kula jalanidhi soma vara
Pankaja mukha pattabhi rama
Pada pankaja jita kama raghurama
Vamanka gata sitavara vesha
Shesanka shayana bhakta santosa
Enahnka ravi nayana mruduthara bhasa
Akalan darpana kapola visesa muni
Sankata harana govindha
Venkata ramana mukundha
Sankat harana govindha
Venkata ramana mukundha
Sankat harana govindha
Venkata ramana mukundha
Sankarshana mula kanda
Rangapura Vihara
Jaya kodanda ramavthara raghuveera
Rangahpura Vihara
Sri rangapura vihara
Jaya kodanda ramavthara raghuvira
Sri rangapura vihara
