Thanks Mr. Lakshman for your help. I really appreciate it.

[saawariya]

request for the meaning of the sahitya in this thillana please !

[ardhanariswar]

I would also like the meaning too.

My guru's notation says the first line is 'Dheem TARANA thillana' instead of 'Dheem na na na thillana'.

[Vinay]

I would also like the meaning too.

My guru's notation says the first line is 'Dheem TARANA thillana' instead of 'Dheem na na na thillana'.

Oh no, ardhanariswar, it is definitely dheem na na na, as can be quite clearly heard if you listen to any of these:

Brindavani Thillana from Thillanas album
Brindavani Thillana from album with MSG and TVG accompanying

C: sogasulUra hOyalu mIri nIdari jEritini nIra kSIra nyAyamai maimaraci sakala carAcaramella pulakince

Has he sung "mIri" in some particular rendering? In all the versions I've listened to, it's "kOri". But he does sometimes change the sahitya slightly. Also, as far as I can make out, he sings it as "nI darijE ritini" rather than as "nIdari jEritini".

[rshankar]

It is 'nI (un/your/Ap kE) dAri (vazhi/path/rAh par) jEritini/cEritini (SErvEn/will join/milUngA)'. It may be split as nI dArijE ritini for the purposes of the music.

'sogasulUra hoyalu kOri' also makes sense - 'Seeking (kOri) your beauty-soaked (sogasulUra) charm (hoyalu), I have come to your path'.....

[Lakshman]

The text I posted is from BMK's book of compositions Suryakanthi.

[Vinay]

Nice explanation, rshankar. Could you explain the whole line then?

"sogasulUra hOyalu kOri nI dari jEritini nIra kSIra nyAyamai maimaraci sakala carAcaramella pulakince
tIyani hayani pincu ciru ravaLi nI muraLI mAdhurI"

Ah I see, Lakshman. I was wondering because I've heard him use different words sometimes during different renditions (in other compositions - not this one). For example I've heard five or six different versions of his singing Endaro Mahanubhavulu. In one of these (the Panharatna Krithis album version), he sings "arbhacandra", in one (sung in a '79 concert in Minneapolis, which I downloaded just a few days ago), it's "pUrnacandra", and in the others, "bAlacandra". (I refer to the third last sangati (my favourite) of the charanam, starting "paramabhAgavata (ri ma pa ni, ma pa ni)").

[radhikashetty]

Request for a word to word meaning of the sahitya. Thanks in advance.

[ravichitrapu]

sogasuloora = sogasulu + oora
(sogasulu = plural of sogasu = beauty. oora = oozing)
hoyalugori = hoyalu + gori or kori (when the words join k becomes g)
hoyalu = ??sportive /dancing movement; kori = desiring
nee dari jeritini = nee = your; dari = abode or neighborhood;
jeritini = (I) have reached.

next line i am not so sure but if it is
neera ksheera nyaaya mai mai marachi
neera = water; ksheera = milk. nyaaya = justice or logic;
mai mai marachi = forgetting engrossingly
(does it mean i have forgotten the difference between water & milk)

sakala charaacharame pulakinchu
sakala = all or whole; charaacharam = world (that which revolves)
pulakinchu = becoming thrilled or ecstatic

teeyani haayanipinchu chiru ravali
teeyani = sweet; haayi (joy) + anipinchu = experiencing
chiru = small. ravali = sound;

murali = balamurali or flute; maadhuri = sweetness.

Oozing beauty and seeking a sportive(?) feeling, I came to your place.
forgetting the difference between water and milk.
the whole world becomes thrilled and feels happy with
the small sound of the flute /balamurali and its sweetness.

I hope it's ok. better meaning from someone else will be appreciated.

[aaaaabbbbb]

The line"nIra kShIra nyAyamai "
'As water and milk,once mixed cannot be seperated
I have become one with the melody of the murali"
This is called'nIrakShIra nyAya"

[rshankar]

But a swan is supposed to separate 'nIra' from 'kshIra', right?

[aaaaabbbbb]

Yes.That is"hamsakshira nyaya"
When good is seperated from bad it is :hamsakshira nyaya:
