Meaning:
Brahmam Okate Song composed by Annamacharya is a meaningful song that starts with the word Brahmam Okate meaning The spirit is one though there are differences in the way people lead their lives and eat food. 

Pallavi:
"Tandanana" is a word that gives the punch of rhythm in the song. Ahi, Pure, and Bhala are the words expressing excitement or ecstasy, or appreciation. The absolute spirit is one & only one.

CharaNam 1: There are no differences between low & high. "Srihari" (A name of Vishnu. Vishnu is the form of God who is in charge of maintenance, protection of the good & destruction of the bad. In this context, Srihari is the Supreme Spirit) is the indwelling Spirit to one and all. All the beings in creation are one because the indwelling spirit in every creature is one and the same.

CharaNam 2: Sleep is the same to all, be it a king or a servant. Be it a "Brahmin" (man of the highest caste) or "Chandala" (man of the lowest caste), the earth they live on is the one and the same.

caraNam 3: 
Be it an elephant or a dog, the sun shines alike on both of them. For the good and the bad, Lord Venkateshwara alone is "The Savior".
