I like to have the lyrics transliterated in English. Thanks for the help.

[Lakshman]

[VK RAMAN]

Thanks Lakshmanji.

Few doubts..

Would it be 'mAdhava lOkanam' or 'mAdhavAlOkanam' ? Swathithirunal.in website has given it in malayalam as the latter.

Also the pallavi has another line 'anyathA kathamavAptA sampadEvamamitA'

C1 : suparItI instead of suparitO
dishati cArthitatayE jaladavadavitA instead of aishati cArthita yEya jaladavatavita
C3 navatOyadharAbhE instead of navatOya dharAbhE
prEmabhArabharitam instead of prEmabhAra bharita

The lyrics I have posted are from the book Musical Works of Maharaja Swati Tirunal, edited by M.Hariharan and Gowri Kuppuswamy (page 157).

[VK RAMAN]

This is exact transliteration from Swati Thurunal Website malayalam lyrics:

mAdhava lOkAnam nUnam mAmakOdaya nidAnam
C1: api paramayacitO hrdi mOda supareetee dishati cArthitatayE jaladavatavita
2: svajanOpadAm mitAmapi mAnayati mahitAm madupAyanavadahO madanajanayitA
3: navatOya dharAbhE bhavatu sArasanAbhE mama sadA matirahO prEmabhAra bharitam

Hello! Can we have a translation of the kriti please...

[Lakshman]

Translation from T.K.Govinda Rao's book.

It is indeed true that by seeing Madhava, my house is filled with wealth. Otherwise how can I get this infinite amount of wealth?
Just as the cloud shower rains on people without asking, Lord Madhava with great joy, bestows upon his devotees wealth and protects them.
He accepts with elan even things offered by His devotees which might be worthless like my own offering to him, as if of great value.
May my love laden heart ever rest on the dark cloud like the form of Sarasijanabha!

[Sachi_R]

I have tried a word-by-word reordered translation:

mAdhava AlOkanam = (my)seeing Krishna
nUnam = (is) the sole
nidAnam = cause
mAmakaH udaya = (of) my rise in prosperity
anyathA = Otherwise
katham = how
avAptA = have I obtained this vast
sampadA evam amitA = fortune, also limitless,
api = also
parama-yAcitaH = much desired
hRdi = in my heart
mOda suparItI = and pleasing me no end.
dishati = (He thus) fulfills
ca arthitatayE = also whatever is desired
jalada-vad avitA = like the generous rain cloud pours down.
svajanOpadAm = gift given by near and dear ones
mitAm api = even if insignificant
mAnayati mahitAm = He considers as a big one
mad upAyana-vad = as in the case of the trifle(flattened rice) given by me.
ahO = Oh (Lord!)
mama = my
matiH = mind
prEma-bhAra-bharitA = Filled with lots of love
bhavatu = let it be
sadA = always
madana-janayitA = (in prayer immersed in)the One who sired Madana(the God of Love)
nava-tOyadharAbhe = with His body resembling the beautiful rain cloud, in Him
sArasa-nAbhe = The Lord with the lotus in His navel=Padmanabha
ahO = Oh! (Amen)

[rshankar]

So, this kRti describes kucEla's mental state on his return from meeting kRshNa in dvAraka, right?

avAptA - can it not be 'something attained/obtained'?

[Sachi_R]

Yes, Kuchela's reaction on beholding his home and wealth on return.
Yes, avApta is obtained. I have changed the words a bit now.
Thanks

[krishnaa]

Thank you so much everyone! This kriti really tested my sanskrit.. and I accept that I couldn't pass!
