varadEvasEnA vallinAyakA.

{I vaguely remember my mother singing this kriti}

[mukta]

Yes! These are words from the kriti.

Can you post the lyrics please?

[Sreeni Rajarao]

Is this in kamAc rAga?

[mukta]

Srini Sir,
Yes. It is in kamAc.

[Sreeni Rajarao]

A while ago, I had communicated with Keerthi on this song. Keerthi had advised me that the lyrics I have were incorrect and he had made some corrections. I want to dig out that information before I type up the lyrics.

I will need a day or two to do that.

Mukta or ganape,

Do you have any information about the composer?

Thanks!

[mukta]

Srini Sir,
Thank you for your efforts and time.
I do not know about the composer.

[Sreeni Rajarao]

Sorry I have taken so long to get back to you on this!

This is what I have - my transliteration may not be 100% correct.

Srini Sir, This is the kriti I was seaching.
I could recollect only a couple of words,
like ShaktyAyauDha Dhara and karuNakaTAkSha.
Thank you very much.
May Lord Shanmukha bless you.
Regards.

Sreeni - a lovely kRti I have not heard before (an audio links?)..
What do 'mathita tAraka' and 'ghaTajAdi munigIta vaibhava' mean? I thought lOpAmudrA was ghaTajA (born of a jar)....

[Sreeni Rajarao]

Ravi,

I am hoping Keerthi / Savitri-ji will give us the meaning.

No audio with me. I just happen to have this song's sAhitya and swara written down by my Father.

It would be nice to know who the composer is.

[Lakshman]

The composer is Panchapakesha Shastri.

[aaaaabbbbb]

maThita ...destroyed {churned,agitated,hurt}
tAraka...tArakAsura

GhaTaja...Agastya
vaiBhava...grandeur

GhaTajAdi munigIta vaiBhava::

agastya and other sages sing the grandeur { of ShaDAnana}

[Sreeni Rajarao]

Lakshman-ji,

Panchapakesha Shastri - Is he also known as Panchapakesha Iyer?

Savitri avare,

Thanks for the meaning!

Mukta-ji,

Thanks for starting this thread! I had been curious about this song, particularly about the composer, and now Lakshman-ji has given me the answer I was looking for!

[aaaaabbbbb]

Srini Rajarao avarige,
Yes.mukta Ji should be complimented.Fond memories were brought back.
I remember this kriti. My mother was learning music at an early age in Bhadravati. She had a tutor who would teach her at home. I had seen the book in which he had written some keertanas.Wherever he made mistakes in the notation,he would not strike it but make out a drawing either of a bird/ a railway engine, things like that. I clearly remember the dark green ink with which he wrote the keertanas with a thick tipped pen.
Thank you. mukta Ji, once again.

[rshankar]

Smt. Savitri - thank you for the meaning. So, in the mAyAmALavagauLa kRti of the Maharaja of mysUru, what is the meaning of 'kumbha sambhava lOpAmudrA canatOshiNi kAncI pura vAsini kanjadaLAyatAkshI kAmAkshI' - the phrase where Smt. MSS does a sublime nereval?
Very lovely song indeed.

[aaaaabbbbb]

rshankar Ji,
The letter 'r' is missing in the text.

It is, kumbhasamBhavalOpAmudrA'r'canatOShiNIm
kAncIpuravAsinIm kanjadaLAyatAkShIm kAmAkShIm..
Pleased by kumbhasamBhava, {agastya} lOpAmudra's [his wife]worship.
Resident of kancIpura,{you} have eyes like the petals of lotus, kAmAkShi.

Regards

[rshankar]

Thank you, Smt. Savitri. It makes perfect sense now.
