#tiruppAvai - 1#

[Guest guest]

Last year, I presented tiruppAvai pASurams in telugu

in the racchabanda and Chandassu. The

first ten of those metrical translations, called saptapadi,

were written by either muddupaLani or her guru. Only ten

such saptapadis are available. I translated the rest

(20 in number) in the same style.

 

This year, I am translating these in the

song format. In addition, I am also giving the English

translations. Please note that these are not word-for-word

translations of the Tamil original. This will run for a

month. These may be viewed in unicode telugu script too

at the reference given at the end. Enjoy!

Today

is the first day of God's month.

Today

is the first day of our dedication.

Let us

purify ourselves

to fulfill our vows.

 

Beautiful young lasses

of this pastoral paradise,

let us all go

and celebrate -

Yashoda's darling is smiling!

 

Let us feast our eyes

with his wondrous form -

dark as the monsoon cloud,

strong as the lion's cub,

and handsome as the full moon,

Let us sing for Him.

 

Regards! - J K Mohana Rao
