Shabdam Srikara Sugunakara

[preyas]

Can some one post the lyrics of the Shabdam Srikara Sugunakara by Ponniah Pillai. Can some one tell me what language the lyrics are in and also the meaning please.

[Lakshman]

shrIkarA suguNAkarA ripubhIkarAyani prakaTambuka pogaDugavulaku tAtalannera tAtavai namah prabhO nera tAtavai namah prabhO

[rshankar]

It is in Telugu.

Lji - is that the entire Sabdam? And I think the word prakaTambuka should be prakaTambuga

[aaaaabbbbb]

You are right.It is "prakaTambuga"

[Lakshman]

Thanks for the correction. What I have posted in the text portion only. There are solkaTTu passages.

[Lakshman]

Would someone please post the meaning of this shabdam> Thanks.

[aaaaabbbbb]

For the poets proclaiming that you are Propitious,good charectered,fearful to the enemies,

you are The Great Grandfather among the Grandfathers.Obseience to You, Lord, The Great Grandfather

Obseience Lord.


Brahma is addressed as pitAmaha, grandfather. He's the original first creature in this material world, in this universe, and everyone has come from him. Therefore he is called pitAmaha.{ grandfather, tAta}

[Lakshman]

Thanks Savitri.

shrIkarA! suguNAkarA! ripubhIkarAyani prakaTambuga pogaDugavulaku dAtalan neradAtavai namah prabhO (nera dAtavai namah prabhO)

A couple of minor emendations in the text. Most sabdams, like salAm daruvus, are dedicated to patrons, and often to deities. In this case I think it is dAta and nera-dAta, meaning patron / donor.
