Could anyone please provide me with the meaning of the following song?
Jaya Jaya swami Jaya Jaya
Jaya Jaya Chitha Vairi, Varga prachanda
Jaya Jaya Gajamukha; Jaya Vakrathunda
Chakradisurahara, Santha Charana
Sada Kumbhamani, Thimirabharana
Dhikrita gajavighna, thimirabharana
Dheera Narayana, Dheertha Sucharana
Thanks heaps!
Regards
Bindu
Meaning - Jaya jaya Swami

w/ some corrections to the text. Posters can correct/add to my version.
rAga: nATTa tALa: Adi
jaya jaya svAmin jaya jaya
Victory over and over to Thee O Lord
jaya jaya jitavairi varga pracaNDa = One Who has quelled the wicked and oppressive
jaya jaya gajamukha = Victory and victory again to the Elephant-faced One
jaya vakratuNDa = Victory to the One with a crooked tusk
cakrAdi suragaNa sannuta caraNa = Whose feet are worshipped by the gods of the heavens starting with indra
ShAtakumbhamaNi divyAbharaNA = adorned with many divine-like ornaments of gold and precious stones
dhikkr.ta ghanavighnanivAraNa = Who dispells the most darkest of obstacles
dhIra nArAyaNa tIrtha sukaruNa = who shows benevolence to the enduring nArAyaNa tIrtha
The reason nArAyaNa tIrtha is enduring in the context of the song is because at the time he was suffering from a persistent stomach ailment for which he could not find recourse. Then when he reached naDukkAvEri that night vinAyaka appeared in his dream and instructed him to follow the two boars which would appear in front of him and the place where they would lead him(which later came to be known as "varAhapura") and it was at this kshEtra tIrtha found cure to his ailment. The vinAyaka of naDukkAvEri is apparently special in the sense that one of its fingers point north towards the venkaTeShvara temple at Varahur.
