Nrithyanjali - Slokam Words

[preyas]

I am trying to get the words for the Slokam for the Natyanjali in Ragamalika and Talamalika by Guru Elappa Pillai. Can someone help. I believe the slokas are on Ganesha, Saraswathy, Siva and Guru.

[Lakshman]

Is this the dance piece you are looking for?

[preyas]

Yes.

I believe there are four slokas.

Ganesh seems to be

Agaja-[A]anana Padma-Arkam Gaja-[A]ananam Aharnisham |
Aneka-Dam-Tam Bhaktaanaam Eka-Dantam Upaasmahe ||

Saraswathi seems to be

urAsura sevita pAda pankajA
kare virAjita kamanIya pustakA |
virinchi patnI kamalA sanastithA
sarasvatI nrutyatu vAci me sadA

Vishnu I believe is

Shanka Chakra Gadha pani,
Dwaraka Govinda Pundareekaksha ,
Rakshamam Sharanagatham

Siva - I think I got the first line but I cannot get the second line

namaH shivAya sAmbAya sagaNAya sasUnave

Then it ends with Guru Brahma Guru Vishnu...

I would like validation to see if what I am hearing it correct and any corrections

[Lakshman]

Hera is what I heaard:

AgajAnana padmArtham gajAnanam aharnisham
anEka dantam bhaktAnAm Ekadantam upAsmahE

surAsura sevita pAdAra pankaja kara virAjaya kamanIya pustaka
virinci patni kamalAsanAsthita sarasvatI nrtyatu pAhi mE sadA

shankha cakra gadhA pANi dvArakA nilayaArcita
gOvinda puNDarIkakSa rakSamAm sharaNAgatam

namah shivAya sAmbAya sagaNAya sasUnavE
aparanipAya prArambAya sajjanAshaya sasUdanE
sanandinE sagangAya sadrshAya namO namah

gurUr brahma gurUr viSNu gurUr dEvO mahEshvarah
gurUr sAkSAt parabrahma tasmai shrI guravE namah

[Pratyaksham Bala]

अगजानन पद्मार्कम् गजाननमहर्निशम् ।
अनेकदं तं भक्तानां एकदंतमुपास्महे ।।

agajAnana padmArkam ganAnanamaharnisham
anEkadam tam bhaktAnAM EkadamtamupAsmahE

[Pratyaksham Bala]

सुरासुर सेवित पाद पङ्कजा करे विराजित कमनीय पुस्तका ।
विरिञ्चि पत्नी कमलासनस्तिथा सरस्वती नृत्यतु वाचि मे सदा ।।

surAsura sevita pAda pankajA karE virAjita kamanIya pustakA
virinci patnI kamalAsanastithA sarasvatI nrtyatu vAci mE sadA

[Pratyaksham Bala]

शङ्ख चक्र गदा पाणे द्वारकानिलयाच्युत |
गोविंद पुंडरीकाक्ष रक्षमां शरणागतं ||

shankha cakra gadA pANE dvArakA nilayAcyuta
gOvinda puNDarIkAkSa rakSamAm sharaNAgatam

[Pratyaksham Bala]

नमः शिवाय शान्ताय सगणाय ससूनवे |
सनन्दिने सगंगाय सायुधाय नमो नमः ||

namaH shivAya shAntAya sagaNAya sasUnavE

[Pratyaksham Bala]

गुरुर्ब्रह्मा गुरुर्विष्णुः गुरुर्देवो महेश्वरः ।
गुरुरेव परं ब्रह्म तस्मै श्रीगुरवे नमः ॥

gurur brahmA gurur viSNuH gurur dEvO mahEshvaraH
gururEva param brahma tasmai shrI guravE namaH

[preyas]

Thank you for the slokams. Can I request the Group to translate the meaning for them please.

[rshankar]

अगजानन पद्मार्कम् गजाननमहर्निशम् ।
अनेकदं तं भक्तानां एकदंतमुपास्महे ।।

agajAnana padmArkam ganAnanamaharnisham
anEkadam tam bhaktAnAM EkadamtamupAsmahE

agajAnana (aga+jA+Anana) padmArkam (padma+arkam) gajAnanam (gaja+Ananam) aharniSam
anEka dam tam bhaktAnAm Ekadantam upAsmahE ||
I worship (upAsmahE) that one (Eka)-tusked (dantam) lord, the elephant (gaja)-faced (Ananam) one, who is like the sun (arka) to the lotus (padma) that is the face (Anana) of the daughter (jA) of the mountain (aga) at all times (day and night - aharniSam), who is bountiful (gives many boons - anEka dam) to his (tam) devotees (bhaktAnAm).

And please note that it is anEka dam tam - not to be pronounced as anEkadantam - as if the many-toothed devotees are worshipping the one-tusked...

[rshankar]

My attempt at this:

सुरासुर सेवित पाद पङ्कजा करे विराजित कमनीय पुस्तका ।
विरिञ्चि पत्नी कमलासनस्तिथा सरस्वती नृत्यतु वाचि मे सदा ।।

surAsura sevita pAda pankajA karE virAjita kamanIya pustakA
virinci patnI kamalAsanastithA sarasvatI nrtyatu vAci mE sadA

Oh lady with lotus(pankajA)-like feet (pAda) worshipped (sEvita) by the gods (sura) and demons (asura) alike, one who is replendant (virAjita) and desirable (kamanIya) holding a book (pustakA) in her hands (karE)! Wife (patnI) of brahmA (virinci), who exists (stithA) in a lotus (kamala) seat (Asana)! Oh sarasvati, please dance (nRtyatu) in my speech (vAci) at all times (sadA)!

[rshankar]

शङ्ख चक्र गदा पाणे द्वारकानिलयाच्युत |
गोविंद पुंडरीकाक्ष रक्षमां शरणागतं ||

shankha cakra gadA pANE dvArakA nilayAcyuta
gOvinda puNDarIkAkSa rakSamAm sharaNAgatam

Oh accuta, who resides (nilaya) in dvArakA, holding a conch (SaMkha), a discuss (cakra), and a mace (gadA) in his hands (pANE)! Oh gOvinda, with lotus-like eyes (puNDarIkAksha), please protect (raksha) me (mAm), for I have come (Agatam) to you seeking refuge (SaraNa)!

[rshankar]

गुरुर्ब्रह्मा गुरुर्विष्णुः गुरुर्देवो महेश्वरः ।
गुरुरेव परं ब्रह्म तस्मै श्रीगुरवे नमः ॥

gurur brahmA gurur viSNuH gurur dEvO mahEshvaraH
gururEva param brahma tasmai shrI guravE namaH

The guru is brahmA, the guru is vishNu, the guru is Siva (mahESvaraha)|
In fact, he is the supreme being (param brahma) [1], therefore (tasmai), I offer salutations (namaha) to that divine (SrI) guru||

[1] advaita philosophy believes that there is one supreme being/power - beyond description - possibly just a souce of energy or consciousness (caitanya) - called the param brahman - and all other gods are our way of visualizing this supreme being* - and as this verse is from Sri Adi Sankara's gururashTakam, it makes perfect sense for him to invoke the param brahman
*: Which formed the basis (for Mahatma Gandhi) to propose that Hinduism (advaita) could encompass all the religions of the world, with the different gods being ways to visualize the same param brahman
