That was a treat. Thanks for finding the audio link, Hariharan.

[venkata makhi]

From Lakshmanji
A: angam ardhanArIshvaram shen jaTAdharam shivam

What is the meaning of 'shen jaTAdharam' ?

[sridhar_ranga]

shen jaTA = red matted lock

Probably the one word that makes this a Tamil composition

[rshankar]

Or maNipravALam!
The phrase also forms the basis of the literal interprettation of Sri HKMB's mudra - hari kESa ('one with red tresses' or 'one with red locks')

[PUNARVASU]

Could 'senjaTai' also mean 'lovely or good hair'? Like in 'semmozhi' meaning good language?
