Guest guest Posted November 28, 2007 Report Share Posted November 28, 2007 Post 2 Dear sri vaishNava perunthagaiyeer, Here is one of the rarely heard krithis on the concert [kutchery] platforms. Of course for a bit more aged connoisseurs of music - I mean here moderately aged – around 50 and 60, for them this krithi was a familiar one, since the great Dr. M.L.Vasantha kumari rendered this krithi frequently in her concerts. raagam: gunDakriya 15 maayaa maaLava gowLa janyam Aa: S R1 M1 P N3 S Av: S N3 P D1 P M1 G3 R1 S thaaLam: aadhi Composer: Thyaagaraaja Language: Telugu pallavi inthanuchu varNimpa tharamaa bramhEndhraadhulakaina -- intha meaning: Is it possible to quantify even for brahma, Indhra et al? anupallavi kanthu ni ganna maa chakkani kalyaaNa raama chandhra nee sogasu - intha meaning: The charm of our lovely kalyaaNa Raama chandhra, you, oh, the very Father of Manmatha, the cupid. charaNam 1 challani choopula kannalu marijaa billi kaLalu gErina aananamu mellani maaTalu abhaya karamu livi mella sahajamaina nee guNa - intha meaning: His eyes are having cool glances. The face of Sri Raama chandhra excels even moon in its features (kaLalu). His speech is slow and composed. Thus, all His features, which stand for His natural auspicious qualities are granting us asylum – that 'abhayam' – is it --- charaNam 2 anyula gOri ghOra thapamu lenna ennO jEsi varamulandhi moordhanyulu ainavaari madhambula raajanya laghuvuna naaNachE paraakrama - intha meaning: There were people, who did severe penance for pleasing other gods [anya dhEvathaas], and obtained several boons from them and thus exalted. You, oh raama, The mighty Lord, trampled down their pride and made them powerless. charaNam 3 vaagees aadhi surakOtlaku vEdha aagama s aasthramulaku ganagooDani naagaraaja bhooshaNuDaina sree thyaagaraaja sannutha needhu mahima - intha meaning: Oh, raama, praised by [this] thyaagaraaja! Your glory is incomprehensible to even several demigods like Brahma, scriptures like Vedhaas, aagamams and even to Siva who has serpents as his ornaments. Point: suddenly why this krithi crop up? The answer is - It is connected with seethaa kalyaaNam – or seethaa raama kalyaaNam – the marriage of seethaa with raama. Dhasan Vasudevan m.g.
