this is not from nArAyanIyam,but a song from the malayalam film pakalKinAvu,written by late P.Bhaskaran,music composed by Chidambaranath and sung by S.Janaky.
it is a beautiful song describing guruvAyuraPan,but difficult to find english equivalent to these words and once you translate it,all the beauty will be lost,anyway shall try to give a rough translation later.
incidentally the 10 day utsavam of this year begins at guruvAyUr tomorrow with kodiyeTam
