Pirava Varam tharum meaning

[pramadoss]

Dear all

I am having trouble with the meaning of the charanam of this Papanasam Sivan composition in Latangi. Please help...

In the 3rd line of the charanam, is it as stated below?...mundhai vinai kora......does this mean "Listen as I rant about my previous birth sins?"

Or is it mundhai vinai poga....so that sins from my previous births are gone.

Thank you!!
Priya

Meaning: (approximate: please report any errors)
O Lord (“Pemmaane”)! Please give (“thaarum”) me the boon (“varam”) of no re-births (“piravaa”).
Please give me the boon (“varam”) of no re-births (“piravaa”). Even in case I am re-born (“Pirandhaal”) in (“MElini”) this world (“mAnila”), please give me (“thaarum”) the boon (“varam”) of not forgetting (“maravaa”) to worship at your holy feet (“thiruvadi”).

You are the husband (“Neyaa”) of Parvathi. You help and accompany (“Sahaayaa”) your devotees (“Bhaktha”). You are the life of relationships (“Bandham”). Come O Lord (“Vandharul”) and bless me (”Thaa”). Come (“Mundhai”) and listen (“Kora”) to my prayers (“Vinai”). Come and remove (“Theera”) my unhappy thoughts (“Sindhaakulam”). I want to pray at your (“Endhaayun”) lotus feet (“Paadhaara Vindham”) and reach you (“ThunaiSerap”).

I wonder why, in the charanam all the lines except the first line have the "ndh" second syllable rhyme.

paarvathi nEyaa baktha SaHaayaa <---not found in this line
ba"ndh"am aRaadhaa va"ndh"aruL thaathaa
mu"ndh"ai vinai kOra si"ndh"aakulam theera
e"ndh"aayun paadhaara vi"ndh"am thuNai sErap

[Rajani]

Just a thought - the kOra could be "ghOra" (terrible), which would become k in Tamil. Then the meaning would be ' terrible suffering due to past sins"

Thank you very much Rajani!!! I talked to a local musician and he confirmed it was ghora vinai theera....thank you again!
