Dance Song on Goddess Saraswathi

shobiganga · Post by **shobiganga** » 09 Jun 2009, 02:18

Dear Rasikas,

I am a bharatanatyam dancer and want to do a a short piece on Goddess Saraswathi next week. I am looking for a suitable song. I found Mamavathu Sree Saraswathi by Priya sisters and Velai poovil irupal by nithyashree. But then both these songs are extremely slow. I would need something which is a bit faster or with more music so that I can choreagraph with more dance steps. Can anyone kindly let me know a good music piece on Goddess Saraswathi.

Thank You.

How about shrI sarasvati namOstutE by Dikshitar or sarasvati namOstutE by GNB?

shobiganga · Post by **shobiganga** » 09 Jun 2009, 04:25

I listened to Saraswathi Namosthute By Priya Sisters. It is nice but the song starts directly. Any more suggestions that has got a little instrumental music in it at the start so that it will be good for dancing.

Where is the audio available?

Hi Saawariya, thank you so much for your suggestion. But I could not figure out this song anywhere online.
It will be great if you can help me with the audio.
Thank You.

Velai tamarai poovil iruppal by Unnikrishnan is pretty fast-paced and has good orchestration.

http://www.raaga.com/channels/Tamil/movie/T0001199.html

'Kan thirandu parai' is on an old Kalavardhini dance CD. I'm not sure if it's easily available.

Dear Saawariya, Lakshman and dnayar,
Thank you so much for your valuable suggestions, audio and the lyrics.

saawariya · Post by **saawariya** » 11 Jun 2009, 21:18

can anyone provide meaning also please?

shobiganga · Post by **shobiganga** » 11 Jun 2009, 23:07

Hi Saawariya, I am not good enough to provide with the detailed meaning. But still here is a small jist.

P: The writer request Kalaivani who sits in the beautiful lotus flower to open her eyes and bless.
A: There is no one other than this Godess to give us the boon of ART and so we will sing in praise of her everyday.
C: We will be drowned in the mellifluous music and dance and thus giving us self satisfaction, and with this we pray at her feet to shwer the blessings on us.

Here is another request from me regarding the song on Goddess Saraswathi. I saw this video in you tube, "Mamavathu Sri Saraswathi" comes up with bright orchestra and suits classical Bharatanatyam v well. Here is the link for this video.

http://video.google.com/videosearch?q=s ... 0&start=20

Can anyone let me know who has sung this song and where can I get the audio?

Thank You.

shobiganga · Post by **shobiganga** » 11 Jun 2009, 23:20

I thinkt he video link I provided earlier is not working, Pls check Mamavathu Sri Sarasthi song where a girl with yellow dress is dancing for it.

Can anyone please help me with the audio.

Hi Lakshman, Is Simhavahini Shri song on Goddess Saraswathi?

Lakshman · Post by **Lakshman** » 12 Jun 2009, 04:18

SimhavAhini indicates that the deity here is kALi I think.

shobiganga · Post by **shobiganga** » 12 Jun 2009, 04:35

Ok thanks. I decided to perform Bharatanatyam for the song 'Kan thirandhu Parai'.
Can anyone suggest me a small story piece on Goddess Saraswathi. For the anupallavi, I would like to depict any of wonders made by Goddess.

Thanks

saawariya · Post by **saawariya** » 12 Jun 2009, 20:14

thanks ravi for the meaning of Kan thirundu parai!

However the meaning of the Simhavaahini as taught to me is as follows: (please correct me!)

P: simhavAhini shrI rAjEshvari emmai Adari tANDava mOhini
Oh devi Sri Rajeshwari who rides on the Lion, please bless me who dances Tandava with beautiful grace (tandava mohini)

A: tunbam aghanriDa tuNai purivAyE inbam tandiDum lalitAmbikaiyE
You grace us with your blessings and remove our obstacles Oh devi Lalitambikaye

sen Kamalam tannil vizttiDum janani pongum kanam aruLum nAraNa nAyaki
The devi who resides in the beautiful lotus, and one who showers wealth, you are the consort of Narayan

marakata veenai maDiyinai tulanga shiram tanil piraidanai sUriya vANi
You hold a veena bejewelled, you have a moon on your head
(muktAyisvara sAhitya)
pulavargaL pugazhndiDum umaiyavaL nIyE ulagin aruL poruLai aLittiDum tAyE
In the sacred texts, you are called Uma, who showers everyone with happiness oh dear mother

sakala kalaigalaiyum aruLbavaL nIyE anudinamum unadaDiyai sharaN aDaindEn
the whole world rejoices everyday as they take your sharanam

C: OmkAra nAda maya rUpiNi naTarAja manOhari
The one who was created with the sound of Om who delights Nataraja

1: tanDai silambu konja tajham tajham ena layamuDam olittiDum
as the dhola(or sadangai?) goes takham tajham with the beats which resound

2: shen tirumEniDum mAnini shUlini mangaLam tandiDum pangayar kaNNi
(forgot the meaning of this)......blesses us, the one who has eyes like a....

3: tAyE taruNam idu varam aruL nIyE karuNai uNarvum paNDuDan sEyE
uyar tIrA varuvAyE mahiSura mardhani tAyE
Oh mother, i seek your blessings, please heed my call, take my miseries away, and come quickly, Oh mother who killed Mahishasura

4: vArAi akhilamum kaLittaDa kaN pArAI amaidi ulagil nilaviDa
when you come the whole world rejoices and when you see the world with your eyes, the world becomes peaceful

pADum gaNapatiyum Adum saravanum pADum muraLidharan nAnum tozhudiDavE
Ganapati sings, Murugan dances, Murlidaran sings with dedication

enrum inba vindai anudinamum unai kaNDiDavE niraivuDanE enakkaruLvAi
(i cant remember the meaning of this either!!)

Lakshman · Post by **Lakshman** » 13 Jun 2009, 01:13

Saawariya: Here is the corrected version:

P: simhavAhini shrI rAjEshvari emmai Adari tANDava mOhini
A: tunbam aghanriDa tuNai purivAyE inbam tandiDum lalitAmbikaiyE
shen kamalam tannil vIzttiDum janani pongum kanam aruLum nAraNa nAyaki
marakata vINai maDiyinil tulanga shiram adil pirai tanai sUDiya vANi
(muktAyisvara sAhitya)
pulavargaL pugazhndiDum umaiyavaL nIyE ulagil aruL poruLai aLittiDum tAyE
sakala kalaigalaiyum aruLbavaL nIyE anudinamum tiruvaDiyai sharaN aDaindEn
C: OmkAra nAda maya rUpiNi naTarAja manOhari
1: taNDai silambu konja tajham tajham ena layamuDam olittiDum
2: shenkarum vENDiDum mAnini shUlini mangaLam tandiDum angayarkkaNNi
3: tAyE taruNam idu varam aruL nIyE karuNai uLLam koNDuDan sEyE
tuyar tIrA varuvAyE mahiSAsura mardhani
4: vArAi akhilamum tazhaittaDa kaN pArAI amaidi ulagil nilaviDa
ADum gaNapatiyum nADum saravaNanum pADum muraLidharan nALum tozhudiDavE
enrum endan cintai anudinamum unai paNindiDavE nirainduDanE enakkaruLvAi

The only word that does not make sense is the first one in caraNa svara 2.

rshankar · Post by **rshankar** » 13 Jun 2009, 02:15

Lji and saawariya are you going by any published works of the composer for these lyrics or, are you trying to transcribe it off some audio track? If the latter, then I think that the last 2 words of the anupallavi can't be nAraNa nAyaki - this is a padavarNam dedicated to tANDava mOhini, naTarAja manOhari, and should not have any reference to the devi as the consort of nAraNa/vishNu. So the phrase should either be nAraNa sOdari (vishnu sOdari) or kAraNa nAyaki.

Umesh · Post by **Umesh** » 13 Jun 2009, 08:38

http://www.hummaa.com/search/search.php ... mhavaahini

I always thought it was basically a varnam in praise of Shakti, but I do remember reading in an arangetram program (ah yes, my oh so reliable sources) looong ago that this varnam was dedicated to Devi, and her three principle manifestations as Parvati, Lakshmi, and Saraswati. The first definitely dominates lyrics-wise, but I think "nAraNa nAyaki" may be intentional.

saawariya · Post by **saawariya** » 13 Jun 2009, 20:00

You are right ravi...it is based on the audio and I had learnt....

however Narana nAyaki is what I was taught....

maybe you can help with the translation?

rshankar · Post by **rshankar** » 16 Jun 2009, 01:36

Here is what I hear. I have indicated where the corrections are in bold - I will try to translate it later. What Umesh says may be one way of interpretting it, but I think there may be another as well.

P: simhavAhini shrI rAjEshvari emmai Adari tANDava mOhini
A: tunbam aganriDa tuNai purivAyE inbam tandiDum lalitAmbikaiyE
shen kamalam tannil vIzttiDum janani pongum dhanam aruLum nAraNan nAyaki

saawariya,

Here is the padArtha for this varNam:

pallavi
simhavAhini shrI rAjEshvari emmai Adari tANDava mOhini

dEvi with a lion (simha) as your mount (vAhini)! SrI rAjarAjESvarI - kindly support/protect (Adari) us (emmai), Oh delighter (mOhini) of Siva (tANdava) [1]!

anupallavi
tunbam aganriDa tuNai purivAyE inbam tandiDum lalitAmbikaiyE
shen kamalam tannil vIzttiDum janani pongum dhanam aruLum nAraNan nAyaki
marakata vINai maDiyinil tulanga shiram adil pirai tanai sUDiya vANi (simhavAhinI....)

Please assist (tuNai purivAyE) in the dissipation (aganriDa) of our miseries (tunbam), Oh pArvati (lalitAmbikayE), the granter (tandiDum) of bliss (inbam)! Oh mother (janani) who resides (vIZhttiDum) in (tannil) a beautiful (Sen) lotus (kamalam)! You are the consort (nAyakI) of vishNu (nAraNan) who blesses (aruLum) us with abounding (pongum) wealth (dhanamum). Oh sarasvati (vANi), adorned (SUDiya) with a cresent-shaped ornament (pirai) on (adil) your head (Siram), on whose lap (maDiyinil) a vINa (vINai) encrusted with emeralds (marakata) shines lustrously (tulanga) [2] (dEvi with a lion (simha) as your mount (vAhini)! SrI rAjarAjESvarI...).

muktAyisvara sAhitya
pulavargaL pugazhndiDum umaiyavaL nIyE ulagil aruL poruLai aLittiDum tAyE
sakala kalaigalaiyum aruLbavaL nIyE anudinam un tiruvaDiyai sharaN aDaindEn (simhavAhinI...)

Oh mother (tAyE) who bestows (aLittiDum) the essence (poruLai) of grace (aruL), you (nIyE) are pArvati (umai avaL), who is praised (pugazhndiDum) by scholars (pulavargaL). You (nIyE) are the one who blesses (aruLbavaL) all (sakala) art forms (kalaigalaiyum)! I have always (anudinam - daily) sought (aDaindEn) refuge (SaraN) of your (un) divine (tiru) feet (aDiyai) (dEvi with a lion (simha) as your mount (vAhini)! SrI rAjarAjESvarI....)

caraNam
OmkAra nAda maya rUpiNi naTarAja manOhari

Oh charmer (manOhari) of naTarAja, the very form (rUpiNi) of the primordial (OmkAra) sound (nAda maya).

caraNasvara sAhityam 1
taNDai silambu konja tajham tajham ena layamuDam olittiDum (OmkAra nAda...)

As the tiny bells (Silambu) of your anklets (tanDai) that caress (konja) your feet make sounds (olittiDum) like (ena) 'tajham tajham' (Oh charmer of naTarAja, the very form of the primordial sound)!

caraNasvara sAhityam 2
shenkarumb(u)ENDiDum mAnini shUlini mangaLam tandiDum angayarkkaNNi (OmkAra nAda...)

Oh lady (mAnini) who holds (EndiDum) a beautiful/red (Sen) sugarcane (karumbu)! Who weilds a trident (SUlinI)! Oh mInAkshI (angayarkaNNi) [3] who bestows (tandiDum) auspiciousness (mangaLam) (Oh charmer of naTarAja, the very form of the primordial sound)!

caraNasvara sAhityam 3
tAyE taruNam idu varam aruL nIyE karuNai uLLam koNDuDan sEyEn tuyar tIra varuvAyE mahiSAsura mardani (OmkAra nAda...)

Oh mother (tAyE)! This (idu) is the appropriate time (taruNam) for you to grant (aruL) me my wishes (varam)! Finding (koNDu) compassion (karuNai) in your heart (uLLam), you (nIyE) please come (varuvAyE) to remove/put an end to (tIra) my (en), your child's (SEy), distress/grief (tuyar), oh slayer (mardani) of the demon (asura), mahisha (Oh charmer of naTarAja, the very form of the primordial sound)!

caraNasvara sAhityam 4
vArAi akhilamum tazhaittaDa kaN pArAI amaidi ulagil nilaviDa vArAi
ADum gaNapatiyum nADum saravaNanum pADum muraLidharan nALum tozhudiDavE
enrum endan cintai anudinamum unai paNindiDavE niraindu(u)DanE enakkaruLvAi (OmkAra nAda...)

(Oh charmer of naTarAja, the very form of the primordial sound)! Please come (vArAi) so that the entire universe (akhilamum) can thrive (tazhaittiDavE)! Please come (vArAi) so that peace (amaidi) can establish itself/become permanent (nilaviDa) in this world (ulagil)! As the dancing (ADum) gaNESa (gaNapatiyum), and subrahmaNya (SaravaNanum) who seeks (nADum) you, and muraLidharan (the composer) who sings (pADum) your praises worship (tozhudiDavE) you everyday (nALum), please be kind enough to immediately (uDanE) grant (aruLvAi) me (enakku) the honor of being in my (endan) thoughts (cintai) at all times (enrum), as well as the felicity to worship (paNindiDavE) you (unai) daily (anudinamum).

FOOTNOTES
[1] tANDava mOhinI - would literally mean attractive performer of tANDava - but since the dEvi does not dance the tANDava, I think this interprettation of mine is the correct one
[2] If one were to interpret the anupallavi and muktAyisvara sAhityam as free flowing text, it can be interpretted as "Please assist (tuNai purivAyE) in the dissipation (aganriDa) of our miseries (tunbam), Oh pArvati (lalitAmbikayE), the granter (tandiDum) of bliss (inbam)! Praised (pugazhndiDum) by the mother (janani) who resides (vIZhttiDum) in (tannil) a beautiful (Sen) lotus (kamalam), the consort (nAyakI) of vishNu (nAraNan) who blesses (aruLum) us with abounding (pongum) wealth (dhanamum), and sarasvati (vANi), adorned (SUDiya) with a cresent-shaped ornament (pirai) on (adil) your head (Siram), on whose lap (maDiyinil) a vINa (vINai) encrusted with emeralds (marakata) shines lustrously (tulanga), and scholars (pulavargaL), you (nIyE) are pArvati (umai avaL), the mother (tAyE) who bestows (aLittiDum) the essence (poruLai) of grace (aruL)". If this were the case, the entire varNam is dedicated to pArvati - and will carry a single theme. The issue I have with Umesh's explanation - (and how I have translated it), is that it merely does lip service to the concept of a varNam with all three manifestations of Sakti described in it
[3] angayarkaNNi = am (beautiful) + kayal (fish) + kaNNi (eyed woman) - mInAkshI in sanskrit

Hi saawariya, Thanks a lot for giving me the "Kan thirandhu Parai" song on Saraswathi. The song is so beautiful by it-self and v well suited for dance abhinaya.
Do you know who has sung this song?

saawariya · Post by **saawariya** » 18 Jun 2009, 19:47

shoiganga,
sorry I dont know who sang it :S

Ravi,
thanks for the wonderful meaning. Yes this is how I learnt the varnam. As I told you my tamil is not good but the dance does interpret this meaning.
However, what I believe is that, this varnam is dedicated to Devi, who is formed with the shaktis all the 10 mahavidyas...created by the light bestowed by Brahma Vishnu and SHiva when they had to kill the demon Mahishasura. Therefore Devi has the powers of Lakshmi, Saraswati and Parvati and hence depicted in this varnam as such. I read this form of Devi in Devi Mahatyam long back in a book dedicated to Devi.

anyone would like to further clarify?

Really good keerthanam and it is perfect for dancing
I can't really give you the lyrics or meaning. Perhaps Mr. Shankar can, it is a thamizh composition.

Pahi Parvatha Nandini

Himagiri thanaye hemalathe

I do not have recording of either.
