Very popular song on Goddess Lakshmi. This is sung on Fridays, Shravana Masa Lakshmi pooje, Gauri Pooje and so on.. I have composed my own tune and also compiled lyrics from comments and my book and converted to Kannada and English.
ವರವ ಕೊಡೆ ತಾಯಿ ವರವ ಕೊಡೆ ತಾಯಿ ವರವ ಕೊಡೆ
ಶರಧಿ ಸಂಪನ್ನೆ ಕೇಳಿ ಸೆರಗೊಡ್ಡಿ ಬೇಡುವಂಥಾ || pa ||
ಬಾಗಿಲು ತೋರಣ ಕಟ್ಟಿ ಮದುವೆ ಮುಂಜಿ ನಾಮಕರಣ | ಅನುಗಾಲ ಇರುವಂಥ ವರವ ಕೊಡೆ || 1 ||
ಮಾಡಿಯ ಮನೆಯೊಳಗೇ ಜೋಡು ತೊಟ್ಟಿಲ ಕಟ್ಟಿ ಜೋಗುಳ ಹಾಡುವಂಥ ವರವ ಕೊಡೆ || 2 ||
ಅಷ್ಟೈಶ್ವರ್ಯ ಸೌಭಾಗ್ಯ ಅನುಗಾಲ ಇರುವಂಥ ವರವ ಕೊಡೆ ತಾಯೆ ವರವ ಕೊಡೆ || 3 ||
ಕಟ್ಟಿದ ಮಾಂಗಲ್ಯ ಕರಿಯ ಮಣಿಸರ ಸ್ಥಿರವಾಗೇ ಇರುವಂಥ ವರವ ಕೊಡೆ || 4 ||
ಹೆಣ್ಣು ಮಕ್ಕಳ ಹಡೆದು ಹೊನ್ನು ಸೆರಗಿಲಿ ಕಟ್ಟಿ | ಕನ್ಯಾದಾನ ಮಾಡುವಂಥ ವರವ ಕೊಡೆ || 5 ||
ಗಂಡು ಮಕ್ಕಳ ಹಡೆದು ಕುಲವನ್ನುದ್ಧರಿಸುವ | ಬಿಂದುಲಿ ಇಡುವಂಥ ಮಗನ ಕೊಡೆ || 6 ||
ಶ್ಯಾಲ್ಲನ ಸುಘೃತ ಪಂಚ ಭಕ್ಷ್ಯ ಪರಮಾನ್ನ ನೈವೇದ್ಯ ಇಡುವಂಥ ವರವ ಕೊಡೆ || 7 ||
ಅನ್ನ ದಾನ ವಸ್ತ್ರ ದಾನ ಗೃಹ ದಾನ ಭೂ ದಾನ | ಗೋದಾನ ಕೊಡುವಂಥ ವರವ ಕೊಡೆ || 8 ||
ರಂಗ ನಾಯಕಿ ನಿನ್ನ ಮುಡಿಯ ಮೇಲಿರುವಂಥ| ಪ್ರಸನ್ನವೆಂಕಟನಾರಸಿ ಹೂವ ಕೊಡೆ ಐದು ಹೂವ ಕೊಡೆ || 9 ||
Varava koḍe tāyi varava koḍe tāyi varava koḍe
śaradhi sampanne kēḷi seragoḍḍi bēḍuvanthā || pa ||
bāgilu tōraṇa kaṭṭi maduve mun̄ji nāmakaraṇa | anugāla iruvantha varava koḍe || 1 ||
māḍiya maneyoḷagē jōḍu toṭṭila kaṭṭi jōguḷa hāḍuvantha varava koḍe || 2 ||
aṣṭaiśvarya saubhāgya anugāla iruvantha varava koḍe tāye varava koḍe || 3 ||
kaṭṭida māṅgalya kariya maṇisara sthiravāgē iruvantha varava koḍe || 4 ||
heṇṇu makkaḷa haḍedu honnu seragili kaṭṭi | kan’yādāna māḍuvantha varava koḍe || 5 ||
gaṇḍu makkaḷa haḍedu kulavannud’dharisuva | binduli iḍuvantha magana koḍe || 6 ||
śyāllana sughr̥ta pan̄ca bhakṣya paramānna naivēdya iḍuvantha varava koḍe || 7 ||
anna dāna vastra dāna gr̥ha dāna bhū dāna | gōdāna koḍuvantha varava koḍe || 8 ||
raṅga nāyaki ninna muḍiya mēliruvantha| prasannaveṅkaṭanārasi hūva koḍe aidu hūva koḍe || 9 ||
P.S: This song was in my draft for several months, almost from Shravana Masa last year. The digital camera we had has broken, we need to send it for repair( just after all the pictures were taken for the Gruhapravesha function). That’s why there are no posts on any food items.
Rekha, who visits this site regularly says that her Mother-in-law used to sing these additional 3 stanzas of this song. Thanks Rekha for sharing the same.

Hi, I sing this song in all gowri & Lakshmi poojas. So I am sending you the song as I sing in English:
Varava kode tayi varava kode

Maaligi maneyolu jodu tottilu katti

Hennu makkalan hadedu honna seragile katti

Hello Meera avre, I have just looked at this site. I feel blessed. Thank you. However, we can give you huge compilation of songs that my mother in law sings. She sings all these and much more. How do I send audios to you? Which format? Feel free to email me directly if you wish , because I think people will benefit with the bhajanes that Amma sings. Thanks.
