[apsara]

Thank you so much for the lyrics!

Could anybody help me with the meaning, please???

I also need translation for this sloka, please.

Gajananam bhuta ganadi sevitam
Kapitha jambhu palasara bhakshakam
Uma sutham shoka vinasha karanam
Nama mi vighneshwara pada pankajam


P: jaya jaya svAmin jaya jaya

A: jaya jaya jitavairi varga pracaNDa jaya jaya gajamukha jaya vakratuNDa

C1: mUSika vAhana munigaNa vandya tOSa rahita duritAsura brnda
shESa bhUSaNa shaiva vAridhi candra pOSita pari jana puNyaika kanda

2: lambOdara dhIra lAvaNya sAra kambu sudhAnidhi karpUra gaura
sAmba sadAshiva sadkrti catura sAma vEda gIta sakalAdhara

3: cakrAdi suragaNa sannuta caraNa shAta kumbha maNi divyabharaNa-
dhikrta ghana vighna timirAvaraNa dhIra nArAyaNa tIrtha sukaruNa


Help, please.

[srinidhi]

Meaning for the sloka
Gajananam- He who has the head of an elephant

Bhoota Ganadi Sevitam- He who is served by the bhUta, gaNa, etc (attendents of SivA)

Kapittha Jambhu Phala sAra Bhakshanam- He who enjoys the delicious juice of the Jambhu fruit

UmA sutam- Son of Uma/PArvati

shOka VinAsha kAraNam- He who destroys all sorrows

NamAmi vignEshwara pAda pankajam- I bow to the lotus feet of VignEshwara (one who removes all obstacles)


Meaning for the NArAyaNa Theertha song (as given by kmrasika in an earlier thread)
jaya jaya svAmin jaya jaya
Victory over and over to Thee O Lord

jaya jaya jitavairi varga pracaNDa = One Who has quelled the wicked and oppressive
jaya jaya gajamukha = Victory and victory again to the Elephant-faced One
jaya vakratuNDa = Victory to the One with a crooked tusk

cakrAdi suragaNa sannuta caraNa = Whose feet are worshipped by the gods of the heavens starting with indra

ShAtakumbhamaNi divyAbharaNA = adorned with many divine-like ornaments of gold and precious stones

dhikkr.ta ghanavighnanivAraNa = Who dispells the most darkest of obstacles

dhIra nArAyaNa tIrtha sukaruNa = who shows benevolence to the enduring nArAyaNa tIrtha

The reason nArAyaNa tIrtha is enduring in the context of the song is because at the time he was suffering from a persistent stomach ailment for which he could not find recourse. Then when he reached naDukkAvEri that night vinAyaka appeared in his dream and instructed him to follow the two boars which would appear in front of him and the place where they would lead him(which later came to be known as "varAhapura") and it was at this kshEtra tIrtha found cure to his ailment. The vinAyaka of naDukkAvEri is apparently special in the sense that one of its fingers point north towards the venkaTeShvara temple at Varahur.

[Rajani]

[Rajani]

Oops! sorry for posting the meaning a second time.

[apsara]

Thanks a lot for the help!!!

[vgvindan]

Kapittha

It is known as viLAmbazham in Tamil - much associated with elephants.
http://www.hindunet.org/saraswati/India ... eronia.htm

[Rajani]

Vgvindan - thanks for the correction. This fruit (wood-apple ) is considered to be a favourite with elephants, and very important among the naivedyams during V. Chaturthi. So it is makes eminent sense.

[apsara]

Thank you so much for explanation about kapittha... I was always curious about that... now everything is clear!

[apsara]

Could anybody correct one place only, please?
I need meaning for "duritAsura brnda"...

[vgvindan]

tOSa = happiness;
rahita = without;
durita = sins;
asurua = demons;
brnda = multitude;
One who makes the demoniac multitude of evils unhappy - simply - one who drives away evils or sins

[Rigapada]

A slightly different version is at: http://andhrabharati.com/kIrtanalu/nArA ... 01.html#01
'dOsha rahita, daLitAsura bRmda'
dOsha rahita = Blemishless
daLitAsura bRmda = daLita+asura bRmda = group of demons torn asunder.
The meaning for the phrase can be taken as: who has torn asunder and destroyed the demons.
All the nouns are in sambOdhana prathama in the song.

[apsara]

Thanks a lot!!!

Thank you for the meaning of this beautiful song! However I would also like the word-to word meaning for the missing stanza....
lambOdara dhIra lAvaNya sAra kambu sudhAnidhi karpUra gaura
sAmba sadAshiva sadkrti catura sAma vEda gIta sakalAdhara
If there is a full version of this song in Nattai, please post the link for the same.
Thanks much!

[natyakari723]

Oh...didn't realize there is one more stanza! Can I please have the word to word meaning for charanams 2 & 3 then? Would appreciate a link to the entire song, if available. Thanks!

[rshankar]

I'd appreciate a link where all the caraNams are sung as well....

In an attempt to learn, I am going to post a very amateurish translation. Hopefully, others (Rajani, Smt. Savitri, or Sachi for example) will correct the mistakes I have made...The words in red are ones I have serious doubts about.

EDITED with Rajani's corrections and input

[Rajani]

Ravi - thank you for the nice translation.

kambu sudhAnidhi karpUra gaura - One who is white as a conch, the moon and camphor

Rtu mastaka must be right, as Rtu would be used synonymous to six, just as Veda Chakra is the fourth chakra etc.

rudrOdita would just be son of Shiva , I feel

[rshankar]

Thank you, Rajani! I’ll edit my post with your corrections.
Yes, I figured rudrOdita in the same sense, but thought it could also hint at the birth of muruga from Siva’s third eye. Is that a possibility?

[natyakari723]

rshankar ji, I found a link to this song with only 3 charanams. It is missing charanam #2!
