Lyrics for for Kauthuvam (Ganesha, Murugan & Nataraja)

vyju · Post by **vyju** » 10 Oct 2009, 03:03

This is a traditional rendering of the three kauthuvams. am finding it difficult to write down the lyrics from this song. it is from the CD "Natana Shivanjali" by Dr Padma Subramaniyam, Shyamala balakrishnan and Dr. Gayatri Kannan. if some one can give the lyrics i would really appreciate it.
Thanks!
Vyju

does Nataraja Kautvam start with jatis " dhIm dhIm takadhimi dhimita..." ?

vyju · Post by **vyju** » 10 Oct 2009, 22:17

This kauthuvam, starts with the ganesh kauthuvam of "dhi dhi thai tham dhi dhi thai" and then progresses into murgan kauthuvam and then into nataraja kauthuvam, hence my difficulty writing down the lyrics

Lji, the last is the 'naTESa kauttuvam' and not the 'naTarAja kauttuvam'. I think naTarAja kauttuvam is different.

Ravi,

Both Nataraja and Natesa are correct for the kauthuvam lyrics Lakshman gave, although Natesa kathuvam is almost always used when we refer to the composition of Gangaimuthu Nattuvanar in varali (now usually hamsadwani) and sarvalagu adi.

Some recent poets have written specific Nataraja kauthuvams.

Thank you for the clarification. That is what I meant - I remember hearing one some months ago, but can't recollect the lyrics - do you know the lyrics for any of the newly composed naTarAja kauttuvams?

avnipriya · Post by **avnipriya** » 11 Oct 2009, 18:13

well, Vyju said that " it was a traditional rendering ",
then I ask Vyju to post a sample of Nataraja Kautvam on here.

The first song in this dance is another version of Nataraja Kautvam ?

I know of two naTarAja kauthuvams which are newly composed. In amrithavarshini and one in ragamaligai. I have to listen to the songs and will write the lyrics for you.

rshankar · Post by **rshankar** » 11 Oct 2009, 18:49

Lji - the words for the one you've posted in # 9 are the same (although incomplete) as that of the naTESa kauttuvam you posted in #4.

Sorry about the repetition. There were two of these listed in my database and without looking carefully I posted it.

Thank you all for the hard work. i am truly overwhelmed at the amount of support and help there is for a young teacher (young in the number of teaching years). Thank you from the bottom of my heart. As for the lyrics, the ones that Lakshman posted is the one, when i wrote down the lyrics and listened to the music it is one and the same, only a couple of extra lines of jathis have been addded to them. Once again, thank you one and all. Now for me to decipher the meaning of the lyrics!
