hi

i think the meaning for the last couple lines are:

your face is like a flower
your lips are as beautiful as flowers

and i don't really know the meaning for the rest..sorry..

vadanamadE virisenE = that face blossomed, adharamadE murisene = that lip rejoiced, madhura gAnambidE = this is the sweet song, nAmuraLI
manOharuDadE
= there (stands) my charmer with the flute, madana kadana kutUhaluDu = delighter in amorous fights, rammane = beckoned, birAna birAna birAna rAvE = come quickly.

The rAga name is cleverly included in the compositon, as has been done in most of Muthuswami Dikshitar's compositions !

quick clarification: kuthuhaludu means delighter and kadan means fight, is it?

Is this tillana on Lord Krishna? If not - on whom is it on?
