Thank you Sri Hariharan. Your taste of melody is awesome. I will work on this. Thank you PB for proactively posting the lyrics. Will some one give meaning for this bhajan.

[VK RAMAN]

Ravi/Krishna - Any one of you, please take a bite at this and give your best shot

[hariharan]

The lyrics of the bhajan is sung by Rengantha sarma is different from what the lyrics given above by Pratyaksham Bala. The singer sings as under


nAm mErE man rasibiyE rasiyE
nAm rijhAoom E mAyE- Rama
mEin mandh mAgaN karam a bhAgaN
kAritE keisE gAoom-Rama (nam merE)
piraH pinjarkee baaD sakhee ree,
id par jeedal gAoom E mAya
manakoom mAr sajUm sat gurusoom,
raj charanOm mE pAvoom E mAyE

Please confirm the correct version of the song.
Thanks
Hariharan

Is it part of a poem as it does not have any mudra?

[Pratyaksham Bala]

hariharan:
What is posted in Post #2 is the correct version.
With great hesitation I have to mention that unfortunately it has been mauled by the singer.

[Pratyaksham Bala]

Is it part of a poem as it does not have any mudra?

It is part of a song with five stanzas; the last one has mIrA's mudra.

[VK RAMAN]

PB - please let me know the last line with mIrA's mudra. It is always a pleasure to use mIrA's name in the praise of Lord

[Pratyaksham Bala]

Last stanza:
mO abalApara kirapA kIj-yau guNa gOvindakA gA-Um E mAya
mIrA kE prabhu giridhara nAgara raja caraNanakI pA-Um E mAya

[VK RAMAN]

Thanks PB.

[VK RAMAN]

I request some one knowledgeable in our group to give the meaning of this meerA bhajan

[hariharan]

Thanks for the guidance, Pratyaksham Bala. Yes, I do now strongly feel that the singer had committed some omissions from the original Lyrics composed by Meeraji. Can you please give for our benifit all the five stanzas of this bhajan song.

The first two stanzas are in Post #2.

Third & Fourth:-

DamkO nAma suratakI DOrI kaDiyAm prEma caDHA-Um E mAya
prEma kO DHOla banyO ati bhArI magana hOya guNa gA-Um E mAya

tana karUm tAla mana karUm DHaPHalI sOtI surati jagA-Um E mAya
