Meaning for Yenu Marulatheyamma by Purandara Dasa

Post by ruthmaria »

Hi!

I am looking for the word to word meaning of Yenu Marulatheyamma by Purandara Dasa. I have the audio and found the lyrics (I think they are in Kannada?). Most of the lyrics are the same with the audio, but there are some other words in this line "Heenakula kolla sri gopala krishnanige". If someone is willing to give it a listen, I can PM you the link for the audio.

Here are the lyrics:

Yenu Marulatheyama ele rukmani||

Heenakula kolla sri gopala krishnanige ||

Hasigilladha haavina mele oragidhava
hesikilladhe karaidya kooditha
kraasagilladhe thotthina magana maneloonta
dhosaganjane mavena sira tharidhavage||1||

kundakolakara mane kula dhaiva venisidhage
mande polara manage manaithavava
hindu kollara maneya hariya nendhenisuva
pandadadha kolla ee balagatholagella ||2||

obbaralli hutti obbaralli beledha
obbarige maganalla jagothalagella
apparatha deiva sri purandara vittalana
ubbuuppi madhu vyadhe uthsahadhindha||3||

The lyrics I found from here: https://madhwafestivals.com/2016/08/16/ ... atheyamma/

Thank you in advance for the help with the translation!

Here is the general translation.

Please go through this. It will help in
understanding the word to word translation.

************************************

hE ,RukmiNi,How is it that you have become enamoured?{p}

with SrIgOpAlakrshNa the cowherd born in a low caste,{ap}

He reclines on a snake,for lack of a bed.He has no aversion in uniting with a bear.

he partook food at the home of the son of a slave woman, for, lack of food,

He did not get scared about the taint of severing the head of his uncle.

He is the family deity of kundagOLakas

He is the God in the hearts of those who

have clean shaven heads.

He is the head of the cowherds clan.

He was born somewhere, and brought up elsewhere,

He is the son of none,In this world, He is the vociferous God,

SrI purandara viTThala,you gloated in high spirit and wed him.

Thank you, aaaaabbbbb, for the corrections and the general translation! You are right, it is important to know both the general meaning and the word to word to really convey the message of the song through dance.
