Thanks!

[rshankar]

Anjali,

Here is my attempt at the first 2 caraNams. The third one has words that are not clear to me...

palllavI
Anandak-kUttADinAr Ananda anantar Anandak-kUttADinAr

The delightful (Ananda) Lord who is without discernible end (anantar) danced (kUttADinAr) joyously! He danced (ADinAr) the Anannda tANDavam (kUttu)!

anupallavI
vAnum tudi dEvar munivar jayajayavenru vAzhttum pirAn aDigaL vaippadeppOdOvenru

The lord (pirAn) who is highly praised (jaya jaya venru vAzhttum) by the sages (munivar) and the very gods (dEvar) who are worshipped (tudi) by the skies (vAnum) dances with his leg raised so high that one wonders when (eppOdO enru) his feet (aDigaL) will be placed (vaippadu) back on terra firma.

caraNam 1
mAya valaikkuTpaTTu adileppOdum mALt-tuyarappaTTu mAyumunnAga
vandu valiya ANDaruL mUrti nAyEn kaLikka enmun AduvArenrE pOTri

Caught up (uTpaTTu) in the mesh (valaikku) of illusion (mAyA), and having experienced (paTTu) untold/excessive distress (mALt-tuyara), I would cherish (pOTri) it if before (munnAga) I die (mAyum), the Lord (mUrti) who effortlessly/freely (valiya) conquers (ANDu) and blesses (aruL) us, would come (vandu) and dance (ADuvAr enrE) in front (mun) of me (en) for me (nAyEn) to exult (kaLikka).

caraNam 2
kavalaippaDAdE nenjamE kAlan kaippAsham kaN mun varAdu anjumE tava
nilai uNarnda sanmArgar tamakkanru darbattai kATTinOn tALaik-kANuvEnAvenru

(He dances with his leg raised up so high) that I wonder when (eppOdu enru) I will be able to behold (kANuvEn) the feet (tALinai) of the Lord who showed (kATTinOn) a handful of darba grass (darbattai) to men (tamakku) who have realised (uNarnda) the state (nilai) of penance (tava) and follow the path (mArgar) of righteousness (san) that day (anru), and reassure my heart (nenjamE) to not worry (kavalaippaDAdE) that the noose (pASam) in the hands (kai) of yama (kAlan) will hesitate (anjumE), and not appear (varAdu) before (mun) me/my eyes (kaN).

Is there a recording of this somewhere online? Not necessarily dance-able but just to listen?

Thanks
