Thank you all

[Nia Rmohan]

Would anyone be able to post the translation for this song as well?

Thanks

[Lakshman]

There is a 5th caraNa with his mudra:

pApa rahita nAma (dEva) pAmara vidUra pAtaka haraNa pAvana nAma
shrI padmanAbha shrtajana pOSaka shrIkara shubhakara varada dAsanuta

[Nia Rmohan]

If someone could post along the meaning of the song plus it's last charanam then?

thank you to Lakshman sir who found it...

[rshankar]

Nia - if some of our members familiar with telugu don't, I will attempt a translation...

[rshankar]

DELETED - duplicate post

[Nia Rmohan]

Ok,
Thank you sir

[rshankar]

Nia, here you go:

pallavi
sAgara shayana vibhO! prabhO!
sAmagAnalOla! sArasa lOcana! (kSIra) (sAgara"¦)

Oh shining/replendant (vibhO) lord (prabhO), who reclines (Sayana) on the milky (kshIra) ocean (sAgara)! One who delights (lOla) in the chanting (gAna) of the sAma vEda! One who has eyes (lOcana) like a lotus (sArasa)

anupallavi
bhAgavata priya! bAga brOvumayyA!
bAga shrI bhUmi sahituDai velayu (kSIra sAgara"¦)

One who loves (priya) devotees who expound the purANas (bhAgavata)! Please protect (brOvumayyA) me appropriately (bAga). Very nicely (bAga), Oh Lord who manifests in the company of (sahituDai) of both lakshmI (SrI) and bhUmi dEvi, (and reclines on the milky ocean"¦)

caraNam 1
tApashamanakarA! tAmasAdi dUrA
pApavimOcana pAvana nAmA
shrI padmanAbhA dEva shrita jana
shrIkara shubhakara varadadAsanutapAdA (sAgara"¦)

One who allays/destroys (SamanakarA) all of our worldly afflictions (tApa), and one who dispels (durA) ignorance (tAmasa) and other (Adi) forms of darkness! One who liberates (vimOcana) us from the consequences of our sins (pApa)! One whose mere name (nAmA) is divine (pAvana), Oh lord (dEvA) padmanAbha, who creates (kara) wealth (SrI) and auspiciousness (Subha) for those (jana) that seek refuge (Srita/ASrita) in him. Whose feet (pAdA) are worshipped (nuta) by the devotee/slave (dAsa) of Sri varadAcAriar (varada) [1]!

caraNam 2
shrAvaNamAsa shrAvaNa dwAdashI yuta
shrESThamaina dinamandu bhaktajana
shrESThAdi pUjita shrI padmanAbhA
shrIramaNI priya shrutajana pAlA (sAgara"¦)

Oh padmanAbhA, worshipped (pUjita) by the most distinguished (SrEshTha) of your devotees (bhaktajana) on the sacred/excellent (SrEshThamaina) day (dinamandu) that is formed by the union (yuta) of the sacred SrAvaNa dvAdaSi, in the month (mAsa) of SrAvan (SrAvaNa)! You are the beloved (priya) of the beautiful (ramaNi) lakshmI (SrI), and the protector (pAlA) of those (jana) that seek refuge (Srita/ASrita) in you.

caraNam 3
vEda sArA! (nIvu) vEvEgamE vacci
vedanadIrparAdA? nAtO vAdA?
sadaramu ninnu sAyinhamandu
sEvincinAkhila sEvakOddhAraka (sAgara"¦)

Oh one who is the essence (sArA) of the vEdas. Are you (nIvu) unable (rAdA) to come (vacci) to me immediately/in a great hurry (vEvEgamE) and remove/destroy (dIrpa) my anxieties (vEdana)? Do you have an argument/disagreement (vAdA) with me (nAtO)? Have I not worshipped (sEvincina) you (ninnu) continually (sadaramu) [2], believing you to be the means of sAyujya mukti (sAyujyamandu) [2][3], oh Lord who uplifts (uddhArka) the entire (akhila) community of devotees (sEvaka)?

caraNam 4
pAdamE gatI gadA? pAmara dUrA!
pAlimparAdA pApashamana pAda!
nI daya kOriyunna nannu brOva
nI manasu karagadEmO? nItyarUpA (sAgara"¦)

Aren’t (gadA/kadA) your feet (pAdamE) my only succor (gati)? Oh lord who removes/destroys (dUrA) wretched men (pAmara)! Are not able (rAdA) to protect (pAlimpa) me? Oh lord whose feet (pAda) have the power to destroy (Samana) sin (pApa) [4]. Why is it (EmO) that your (nI) heart (manasu) doesn’t melt (karagadu) to protect (brOva) me (nannu), who is desirous (kOriyunna) of your compassion (daya)?


sArasa lOcana ~ sAdhu janapAla ~ sAdhu janAvana
bhAgavatA priya ~ nAgarAja shayanA

Oh lotus (sArasa)-eyed (lOcana) one! Protector (pAla) and preserver (Avana) of the good (sAdhu jana)! One who loves (priya) bhAgavatas! One who reclines (SayanA) on the king (rAja) of snakes (nAga) [5]!

[krishnaa]

Very nice Ravi!!!

this is a composition of Maharaj Swati Tirunal, isnt it???

[rshankar]

No Sri MDR's

[krishnaa]

ooooooookkkk!!! now i get it, i was not able to understand why you mentioned MDR's mudra... i just took it to be Maharaj Swati Tirunal's compostion

[rshankar]

BTW, I hope that members better 'versed' in telugu than I am will fix mistakes.

[Nia Rmohan]

Thanks Sir,
I now see this is a completely different keerthanam from Ksheera Sagara Shayana Nanu in devagandhari...

[swarakalpana]

Krishnaa,

you are not the only one who mistook that this composition was composed by Swati tirunal. many do. may be because of the name padmanabha which appears in the song. people barely notice or know about the varada dasa mudra. during concerts when the artists sing this(KVN and Hyderabad brothers sing this extremey well) , the audience can be heard whispering `swati tirunal'.

[krishnaa]

swarkalpana, indeed it was because of 'padmanabha' that i mistook it to be maharaj Swati Tirunal's composition

[raji2292]

Sir,

Can you provide the notations for Sagara Shayana Vibho in English?

Thanks,
Raji

[Lakshman]

Sent.

[LRavi]
