Hi, i am looking for an audio of Jayadeva's pralaya payodhi jale (Dasavataram) for a bharatnatyam recital. I found a video link on you tube however that is only for 10 minutes and I would like something longer than that since its for a group of dancers.

If anyone knows of a cd having this song for the purpose of dancing could you please let me know? Thank you for your help.

Best,

Krishna :)

Hi Radhika - here are the lyrics from http://kksongs.org/songs/p/pralayapayodhijale.html, and my attempt at translation. I will post them in installments.

Keerthi/Rajani/CML, please fix the errors, and expand on some contextual issues.

Radhika - if you want padArtha to choreograph, let me know, and I will continue - if the vAkyArtha is sufficient, I will not labor on!

Thank you, Ravi. Yes, you are right, it would be great to have the padaartha. I want it for choreography.

Actually saw Aishwaryanarayana Swamy's dance here: http://video.webindia123.com/new/dance/ ... /index.htm

This is a beautiful rendition & thought of choreographing. Hope to perform when I get a chance.

Thanks,
Radhika.

Radhika: Thanks for the video link. In the message posted by E-S, the padArtha is also given, but it is slightly different from how I would have interpretted it. Let me know if you have doubts and I will try to help...

Sorry Ravi.

I tried to save you some trouble. I had gathered the entire Gita Govinda earlier from that site and converted UTF to to regular ASCII about a year ago; so I had it ready.

Mods, can you merge the other Pralaya Payodhi thread with this one ?


Neha : you posted a second thread on Mar 23 and P. Bala has already
referred you to scholarly elaborate translations at this site.
