Eka radhanam vAraNa vadanam - Lyrics needed

[hariharan]

I wish to get the lyrics of the elegant Keerthanam "Eka radhanam vaaraNa vadanam". This song is sung in the raga HINDOLAM by Sri. Pranavam Sankaran Namboodiri in his classical Album "Vatapi"(vinayaka Krithis-Vol 1" a piece of captivating Sanskrit Script composed by Shri Thulaseevanam.

The Audio link is

This song is sung so well by the singer, I wish every Rasika listens his captivating singing. He praises Lord Ganapathy[Vigneswara]of the ' Pazhavangaadi ' Lord Vinayaka Temple in Thiruvananthapuram. In the Lyric the word 'Poorvaphanam' refers to the Malayalam word
' pazhaya Angaadi ' meaning = old Market/Bazar where this famous temple is situated at Trivandrum. May be,the word 'Pazhayangaadi' subsiquently, over period of time, had became 'Pazhavangaadi'. This very old Market is situated at the western part of Trivandrum and
the Sanskrit word " Poorv Phanam" may also refer to location of this popular Vinayaka Temple. This is the information I pass on is what I have heard during my stay at Trivandrum.
Please correct, if any information given above needs so.

Lakshman sir, some corrections from what Sri Sankaran sings:

caraNam:
bhramada nAsam munigaNa gItam praditAnandA laya vAsa niratam
praNAtmrta varadam shira sukhadam prasidda vana tulasIrada pAdam

Delightful piece and thanks for the very interesting background details at Thiruananthapuram.

Hope someone posts a translation.

Thanks for posting the Lyrics and for the corrections. It is indeed a very delightful performance, where the full essence of the raga 'Hindolam' is very melodiously brought out by the singer.

Smala - here is my attempt. Some one can maybe help with some doubts I have

naumi - I sing the praises of
Eka radanam - the single-tusked,
vAraNa vadanam - elephant -faced one,
pUrvApaNapura sadanam- resident of Pazhayangadi ( refer to earlier posts)
shOka nAshanam - the destroyer of sorrow,
Apanmathanam - the one who displaces(lit. churns) disasters,
shONa vadanam - the red-faced,
shObhita bhuvanam - the one who illuminates the whole world

bhramada nAsam
munigaNa gItam - the one praised by the Rishis,
praditAnandA laya vAsa niratam - the one who delights in residing in the "pradita-Ananda"(?) temple
praNAtmrta (?)
varadam - the giver of boons
sthira sukhadam - the giver of permanent happiness
prasidda vana tulasIrata pAdam - the one at whose feet the renowned forest tulasi stays

Rajani, bhrama भ्रम is dizziness, hallucination. So, 'one who destroys hallucination'? (In Tamil, we would say 'bhramai pidicchu alaiyaAdE"

[Rajani]

E_S : what about the "da" in "bhramada" ?

[Enna_Solven]

no idea :$

Thank you, Rajani.
