Meaning for Shri RaviKIran's Ganapathi Composition

Post by Kavi »

Namaskaram!

I am looking for the meaning for 'Dasha Rasa Ganapathim', a composition of ChitraVeena Shri RaviKiran. I do have the audio and lyrics. Need it for choreographing a bharathanatyam piece. Could someone please help me with it? He refers to different incidents in Ganesha's life portraying the different rasas. Could someone point me to these episodes?

Many Thanks!

Here is the lyrics - I have given only the sahitya part, have not included the swarams.

P: Gambheeranata Adi

dasha rasa ganapatim bhAvayE
ruchira naTanAkrtim santatam

AP: vashankara vallabhA saha krta shrngAram
pashupateesha vimatAm bhayankaram (dasha rasa)

C1: Ranjani

hAsya leelam valli guha prEmArtham
dAsya bhAva yuta bhakta karuNArdram (dasha rasa)

C2: Bhoopalam

tApa bharita nandi shOka nivArakam
kOpa sahita chandra shApa dAyakam(dasha rasa)

C3: Sucharitra

bheebhatsAtmaka daitya kulAntakam
shreevatsa sama veera pradarshakam (dasha rasa)

C4: Ratipatipriya

atishaya bhArata lEkhana charitam
dyuti jita shata ravi shashi sama shAntam

I finally got the meaning and thought I would share it here, in the event someone else was also looking for it.

P: dasha rasa ganapatim bhAvayE
I meditate on Lord Ganapathi Who is a manifestation of the 10 rasas
ruchira naTanAkrtim santatam
Who is an embodiment of tasteful dance

AP: vashankara vallabhA saha krta shrngAram
Who wins over Vallabha with bewitching romance
pashupateesha vimatAm bhayankaram
One who is fearsome to all enemies of Pashupathi

C1: Ranjani
hAsya leelam valli guha prEmArtham
Who played a humorous part in uniting Valli and Guha
dAsya bhAva yuta bhakta karuNArdram
Who is full of compassion towards those who respectfully seek his benevolence

C2: Bhoopalam
tApa bharita nandi shOka nivArakam
Who relieved Nandi of his sorrow
kOpa sahita chandra shApa dAyakam
Who cursed Chandra in anger when the latter laughed at Ganesha at his predicament

C3: Sucharitra
bheebhatsAtmaka daitya kulAntakam
Who slayed the clan of repulsive demons
shreevatsa sama veera pradarshakam
Who displayed as much courage as Vishnu

C4: Ratipatipriya
atishaya bhArata lEkhana charitam
Who wrote the exemplary epic Mahabharatha
dyuti jita shata ravi shashi sama shAntam
Who is 100 times as radiant as a sun and as tranquil as the moon.
