Hi, I need the lyrics of this beautiful krithi by Muttuswami Dikshitar. I would prefer general meaning.

Thank you,

It is shrI pArvathIparamESwarau; the rAga name is beautifully weaved into the words-'citbim boulI lAvigrahou.

There is a ShlOkA which the late Smt MSS renders that almost sounds like the precis of the meaning of this song. Can't remember the words but it ends with "..pArvati paramEShvarau."

It is the prefatory verse of the KumArasambhavaM of kalidAsa -

'vagarthaviva samprktau vagartha-pratipattayE/
jagata: pitaraU vandE pArvatI-paramEswaraU//'

In MS rendering, I have observed first,she sings Adi Shankara's " Kara charana Kritham va................. Jaya jaya KarunAbdhe Sri Mahadeva Shambo " followed by this song.

MD's cue is from the above mentioned Kalidasa's slokam.

Punarvasu/rshankar & others. Pl do post meaning for this song.
