Mahakali stuti lyrics and translation from Kannada

[ruthmaria]

Hi everyone!

I am looking for some help with the lyrics and translation of a Mahakali stuti. I know the lyrics are in Kannada language. The song is in raga Navarasa Kannada, Adithala. It is taken from the Shri Devi Bhagavatam.

I have the pallavi (corrections welcome):

Durga devi duritha nivarini
Svargapavarga suunkya kaini
Sureesha palini sallaho janani
Pranaagni samyogedi
Janisida pranava naada sapta swarupini
Viinaadi vadya nritya gamini
Vinodini karikeesha bhamini

I am missing the first part of the song and I would be grateful for a word by word translation - I know the broader meaning of the text since I know what the dance movements to it mean but literal meaning would help me a lot.

Here is my dropbox link to the audio file: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/pfr2olzmjm7hskf/pCchELOgQa

Thank you in advance!!!

.
The first part is 'Mahishasura Mardini Stotram' (Sanskrit):-

ayi giri nandini nanditamEdini vishvavinOdini nandinutE
girivara vindhya shirOdhini vAsini viSNu vilAsini jiSNunutE
bhagavati hE shiti kaNTHa kutumbini bhUri kuTumbini bhUrikrutE
jaya jaya hE mahiSAsura mardini ramyaka pardini shailasutE

(Move the mouse on the Sanskrit words to get their meaning.)

PB - your ability to search the net is awesome! That link to the mahishAsura mardini stOtram is superb.
By the way, the kRti on durgA devi is in kannaDA, not sanskRt.

[ruthmaria]

Wow, Pratyaksham Bala, that link really is amazing! Thank you so much!

If anyone knows Kannada, I would very much appreciate help with the word by word translation of the kriti part, too.

Thank you so much!!!! I appreciate it a lot.

[rshankar]

harikESa is both the composer's mudra, as well an epithet for Siva - hari - golden or red, kESa - (one whose) hair is; Siva as the one with golden or russet tresses. In tamizh I think the equivalent is SenSaDaiyAn
