Ghanam Seenayya

Can someone confirm if this is the padam of Ghanam Seenayya? Have come across some articles stating that there is a kurinji padam Siva deeksha...

78 rpm records of MS also have this song along with a ragamalika and Tanam.

Regards,
Aditya.

Yes. There is a padam by Ghanam Seenayya (said to be ? 1704-1731) - which starts as Siva deeksha paru raalanu raa. set to kurinji ragam.
usually seen in dance performances.
here is a link to a dance to this song in a Telugu movie pooja phalam (ANR, Jamuna, Savitri, Jaggayya) - beautifully danced by the renowned L.Vijayalakshmi

It is actually quite an unconventional theme for a carnatic song -
here is another link to a post / review of this song -

The full lyrics of this padam (in telugu) are as follows:-

శివదీక్షాపరురాలనురా నే శీలమింతైన విడువజాలనురా
శివశివ గురునాజ్ఙ మీరనురా శ్రీవైష్ణవుడంటే చేరనురా
చ//వడిగ వచ్చి మఠము జొరవకురా శివార్చనవేళ తలుపు తెరువకురా
మడుగుకావిచెరగు దీయకురా మాటిమాటికి నీవు నోరు మూయకురా //శివ//
చ//పంచాక్షరీజపశీలనురా కూకిపలుకులు వినజాలనురా
కొంచెపు వగలు నేనెంచనురా మ్రొక్కుదు రుద్రాక్షసరులు తెంచకురా //శివ//
చ//అజ్జచూచి చన్ను లదుమకురా నా సెజ్జగొలుసుబట్టి గదియకురా
బుజ్జగించకు పసిగోలనురా నా కెమ్మోవి నొక్కకు భక్తురాలనురా //శివ//
చ//మోము మోమునుబట్టి చేర్చకురా నీ నామముతోడ బూతిగూర్చకురా
వేమరు తొడభిక్ష వేడకురా పోపోరా మన్నారురంగ మల్లాడకురా //శివ//
