Purandaradasa's "jaganmOhananE " in raga behag

[rasikapriya21]

Namaste,

Purandaradasa's krithi on Krishna "jaganmOhananE " in raga behag.
I remember the story-line as I learnt the piece longtime ago.
Still, as I would like to revive it, I would be most grateful if someone could kindly post the full meaning
It is a classic kalakshetra piece, so I was hoping that some of you (dancers)
might be able to help .

pallavi
jaganmOhananE kRuShNa
jagavam pAlipane kRuShNa

anu pallavi
lOkadhoLage shishuvaagi
mooRlOkavanella bAyalli thOridhe
AkaLa kAyuva chiNNanemdhenisidhe
I kutilavanella elli kalithyoramga

charaNa
emdhemdhigu nimma guNagaLannu pogaLalu
imdhrAdhigaLige aLavalla | mamDharaDhara shree puramdhara
viTalane |
omdhomdhAtavanelli kalithyO ramga


here is the link to Santosh's interpretation [ the choreography is the same as taught in Kalakshetra]:
I am sure many of you are familiar with the piece

[ramakriya]

Hope to post the meanings later in the day

[rasikapriya21]

sonu

I have posted the lyrics as provided in Purandaradasa online archive. I will check whether
they are the same I had in my dancebook and let you know

ramakriya

thank you for offering to help;

[rasikapriya21]

hi sonu

I have just checked the lyrics and found out that you are right about the anupallavi
Thank you for pointing it out

Now, I am totally unfamiliar with kannada, so my transcription of the "kalakshetra" version of the anupallavi is doubtful. But it is fairly close to the lyrics you posted.

Perhaps others are aware of the "kalakshetra" version and hopefully can post the correct lyrics

rasikapriya

[ramakriya]

Here is the corrected sAhitya for this dEvaranAma:

pallavi:
jaganmOhananE kRuShNa

(Oh Krishna, the beloved of the whole wide world)

anupallavi:
jagavam pAlipane kRuShNa

(Oh, Krishna, you are the protector of the whole wide word!)

charaNa 1:

ondu pAdava bhoomiyaloori ma-
ttondu paadava gaganavanaLedu
ondhupaada bali rshiradhale iTTe
inthA vidyavanelli kaliteyO ranga?

(You kept one foot on the earth, and you measured the sky with the second foot. The third one you kept on the head of Bali. Where did you learn all these tactics?)

charaNa 2:

lOkadhoLage shishuvaagi moor-
lOkavanella bAyalli tOridhe
AkaLa kAyuva chiNNanemdeniside
I kuTilavanella elli kalithyo ranga

(Ranga, You were born as a baby in this world, and showed the whole world in your mouth. You came to be known as the little cowherd. Where did you learn these pranks?)

charaNa 3:

endendigu nimma guNagaLannu pogaLalu
indrAdigaLige aLavalla
manDharaDhara shree puramdhara viTThalane|
ondondhATavanelli kaliteyO ranga

(Ranga, It is impossible to to praise your qualities even for those like the indra. Oh Purandara vithala, one who held the mandara hill, where did you learn each of your tricks?)

There is a version of jaganmOhananE krSNA by Narasiha Nayak on musicindiaonline, devotional section, that has totally different caraNA lyrics. Maybe someone knowledgeble in kannaDa can figure out the lyrics. Thanks.

[RadhikaHarish]

The original lyrics of this song is available in a Kannada book titled Dasara Krithigalu. I currently don't have access to this book. This song has 5+ charanas & as far as my knowledge goes every dancer have their own charana selection. I had performed this krithi that comprised of the charanas, lokadolage, varabaladindali (bhasmasura mohini as sanchari) & yendendigu. So, I guess that's the reason for different versions. Sorry, I am unable to provide the complete lyrics.

charaNa 3:

endendigu nimma guNagaLannu pogaLalu
indrAdigaLige aLavalla
manDharaDhara shree puramdhara viTThalane|
ondondhATavanelli kaliteyO ranga

(Ranga, It is impossible to to praise your qualities even for those like the indra. Oh Purandara vithala, one who held the mandara hill, where did you learn each of your tricks?)

Is is "endendigu nimma" or "indindigu nimma"? Or doesn't make a a difference?

[Sreeni Rajarao]

It has got to be endendigu nimma.
endendigu = forever, always

[mohan]

Thanks Srini

I listened to musicindiaonline version and here is the song as sung in that:

Jaganmohanane Krishnaa Jagavanu Paalipane Krishnaa

Obbala basurindali bande matthobbala kaiyali nee belede
kobbida daithyara odalanu seelide
intha thabbibbaatava elli kalithiyo
naduva dhumuki kaalingana shiradali Mridasurapadhyaru pogaluthire
hedeya mele kunidaadutha aadutha kadesaremutha (I am sure this word is wrong) elli kalitheyo

nambida prahladanu sthuthise nee kambava odedu bandaakshanadi
dombili daithyana odalanu seelide intha dombaradatava elli kalitheyo
vara baladindali bhasmasuranu harana shiradi kara vida baralu
tharuniya roopava thaali daithyana haranava nalithuda (I am sure this word is wrond too) elli kalitheyo

aa sabheyali khala dhuryodhananaaga mosadi krishnana kattenalu
sasira roopina krishnanendenisida veshavanella elli kalitheyo
sarpabana moreyutha baralu kandarpapithaneduru (I am missing somethign here cuz it doesn't make sense) ninu
okkuva parthana rathava nelakke otthi thappisidatava nelli kalithiyo

aadimulane endu kariraja kareyalu
yaadava rayanee naguthali bandu
adaradinda gajendrana salahide aa divyatagala nelli kalithiyo
endendiguu gunagala pogalalu indradigalige alivilla
mandaradhara shri purandara vittalane ondondaatava nelli kalithiyo
