GREAT translation....
Isn't pAravati/mInAkshI depicted holding a parrot?
Some examples from other compositions:
paramESwari yEndum kiLiyO?
jagatjananI SukapANi kalyANI

Thank you very much rajani...I would like to have the last charanam translation with the composer's mudra in it also.This is a beautiful composition on parvathi which I would like to choreograph in bharatantyam.

Thanks everyone.
Sarika means a mynah, though it may generally mean any bird.
Yes I have only heard of Devi holding a parrot, but Kamalamba Navavaranam (Ahiri kriti) has a phrase "dhRta-shuka-sArikE"

2: taruNa taraNi kiraNAruNa mrdu caraNE - one with tender feet red as the young(rising) sun
bandhuka sumArunE - one red as the bandhuka(red trumpet) flower
caraNa SaraNa bharaNA dhrta nija karuNE - one with the mercy to protect those seeking refuge at her feet
sarasa guna bharaNE - one full of beautiful qualities
khalavAraNE - one who stops the evil ones
giri tanujE - daughter of the mountain
jagadAdima kAraNE - primal cause of the world

Rajani · Post by **Rajani** » 28 Apr 2007, 06:36

oops, that is the "Ghanta" kriti.

SArikA is meant as a talking bird. It symbolises "vAk". kamalAmbA navAvaraNa is also on dEvi.
SAradAmbe of SRngEri is also depicted with the parrot in her hand.

Sri Nedanuri garu rendered this krithi last December season concert at MA.

ushasree · Post by **ushasree** » 28 Apr 2007, 17:46

Thanks everyone......by any chance is there any website where I can hear Nedunuri garu singing this?

rshankar · Post by **rshankar** » 28 Apr 2007, 19:02

DRS,
(Suka) SArikE = vAk ....is that why the dEvi is referred to as tattai/taTTai mozhiyAl? or kIra vANI?

ushasree, you may try this link.

One more correction : bandhUka refers to the scarlet marrow flower, called vEngai in Tamil, It is not , as I had originally translated, the Red Trumpet flower, which in Sanskrit is actually "pAtalI puShpam" (pAdiri in Tamil)

ushasree, I have seen Malavika Sarukkai perform this piece some years back, and I can still visualise her beautiful, statuesque poses for the words of this kriti.

ushasree · Post by **ushasree** » 29 Apr 2007, 06:51

Hi friends...Today I have choreographed the song and I could do only because of you....but I had problems with the line "sangItAmbhOjAnanda madhumAdhuri madamadhukari" . some how tune is changing after bhojananda so continuity with rest of the phrase is off.
Rajani ...I am sure Malavika's performance was feast for the eyes.

What the suffix, Urs after the composer's name (lingarAjA) denote? Does it refer to UdaiyAr (Wodeyar), him being belonging to the family of the Wodeyar's?

ushasree · Post by **ushasree** » 04 May 2007, 05:50

sangItAmbhOjAnanda does this mean one who fells happiness when hears music?

Lakshman · Post by **Lakshman** » 04 May 2007, 07:23

What the suffix, Urs after the composer's name (lingarAjA) denote

I think it is a corrupted form of arasu.
