Please listen to this song in Rag Revathi on the following link. I have copied the lyrics upon listening. Please correct the lyrics for mistakes. Whose composition is this song ?

This song is sung by (late) Sri.Puducode Krishnamoorthy Bhagavatar.

Haiharan,

I have not yet heard the song, but in the anupallavI it should be dhananjaya sArathE (charioteer of arjuna), and in the caraNam, it should be sudhA mrudu bhAshaNa (soft and sweet voice).

rshankar, I hope this will help you in write the meaning.

The last line in the charaNa sounds to me like mAmASRayatu madhusUdanA (I have taken refuge in you, O killer of madhU (and kaiTabhA!!!)). Line 3 is not tangible to me.

puducode krishna murthy sir himself composed this song.

i have heard varkala jayaraman sir singing this.
the last 2 lines of the charana are

maakuru kaala viLambam adhunaa
maam kaTaakshayatu madhusudana

meaning:now(adhuna)donot delay in showing your mercy.
the last line is simple,may the killer of madhu shower his kataksham on me.

it is sudhA mrudubhashaNa,as rshankar has written

revateeSaanuja- younger brother of revaty's husband(balarama)

rohineeSa sama sundara vadana-the one whose beautiful face resembles the moon(the husband of rohini)
yogeSwara-the foremost among the yogis
dhananjaya sarathe-the charioteer of arjuna
(maam paahi)

Sree guru pavana puraalaya sadanaa-the one whose abode is guruvayur
gokula naatha-the head of gokula
sudha mrudu bhashana-whose speech is nectarean and soft
maa kuru kaala viLambam adhuna- now do not delay in showing your mercy on me
maam kaTakshayatu madhusudana- may the slayer of madhu shower his kaTaksham on me
