where can I get the meaning of the sahityam of the tillana

rshankar · Post by **rshankar** » 26 Aug 2008, 17:21

Revanth,

What does ganucu mean?

The word is "ganuka"
With one more correction, the lines will be:

C: nIdu mahimalanu telisi sharaNamani ninnu migula kOri vacciti ganuka
nAdu cintalanu vEga dIrcarA nE-nanAthu-Danucu suravara sadaya

Gist: O suravara, O kindhearted, As I had come having learnt about your powers and hoping for your protection, please clear my troubles, considering me helpless.

Rigapada,

Thanks for that clarification.

Since Parimal requires a padArtha for bharatanATyam choreography, here is my attempt at providing a word-to-word translation of this caraNa - can you please correct any errors?

Oh pre-eminent (varA) among the gods (sura)! Oh kind-hearted (sadaya) one! I have learned/understood/heard of (telisi) your (nIdu) fame/prowess (mahimalanu) and therefore (ganuka), I seek/come here (vacciti) greatly (migula) desirous of (kOri) your (ninnu) succor (SaraNamani)! Please consider (anucu) me (nEnu) destitute (anAthuDu), and quickly (vEga) destroy/remove (dIrcarA) my (nAdu) worries (cintalanu).

Dear Shankar,
Your translation is very good. As I read it, a very old story narrated by our Sanskrit teacher came to my mind:
Once two brahmins visited the court of King Bhoja. They were told that only Poets are entertained by the king. They went and sat down in a nearby temple to write some poems to present to the king. How ever much they tried, they could complete only one line:

bhOjanam dEhi rAjEMdra! ghruta pUpa samanvitam |

Luckily for them, Poet Kalidasa came to the temple. These two poets prostrated before him and requested for his help. He completed the poem for them thus:

mAhisham ca Sara-cchandra- candrikA-dhavalam dadhi ||

Thank you Shanker, for your nice translation.

--Sarma.

I have absolutely no knowledge of the Telugu language, but in all the recordings I have heard of this tillana, the singer articulates "nAganAthuDanu" as Lakshman has written. Does this carry the same meaning... ? You can take a listen on MIO.

P.S. This was my arangetram tillana.

Thank you very much ! now I can definitely choreograph this. I wish I would have known telugu , Kannada and all the regional languages . I have learnt tamil , but only know how to read and write.

Rigapada · Post by **Rigapada** » 28 Aug 2008, 15:51

Dear Umesh,
I had given the version given in the book by Dr Pinakapani. "nAga-nAthu-Danucu" will mean "considering me the lord of Nagas". It does not fit in with the rest of the song.
--Sarma

Also, the song is credited to "Ramnad Srinivasa Iyengar". Is he the same as Poochi Iyengar?

I hv heard 'naga nathunuchu' (nathu+anuch). May be mean to Vishnu (Lord of naga - shesha)... Also the composer is indicating his mudra of 'venkateSA' thru this here.

Rigapada - yes it is the thillAna of Ramanathapuram Poochi Srinivasa Iyengar

PS : your id is 'mohana' arOsai/arOhaNam ???

Yes. Thank you for spotting it.

Sarmaji,

Thank you for teh compliment!

I enjoy reading your corrections and explanations - they are very scholarly, concise, and educational. My understanding of telugu has improved significantly as a consequence! So, thank you once more!

Can I get the swara notation for this thillana please? Also anybody have the violin notation for the Patham Theruvil varano in Kamas ragam?

Lakshman · Post by **Lakshman** » 03 Dec 2019, 18:33

It is sent.

nulls · Post by **nulls** » 02 Jul 2021, 13:47

It might be possible that it is Naganathudanucu, IMHO, since Nainar Koil is in Ramanathapuram District (the composer is from the same place isn't he) and Naganathaswamy is the deity there - this just occurred to me since this deity is my maternal kuladeivam.

Regarding Shri Rigapada's post above, #11,' "nAga-nAthu-Danucu" will mean "considering me the lord of Nagas"' - this may not be true since the Telugu word for "me" ie "ne" doesn't occur in naga-natha-Danucu. So the line could mean "Please obliterate my worries fast, Oh kind-hearted pre-eminent of Gods called Naganatha", couldn't it? In Tamil, it would read "Naganathan engira suravara sadayan"..
