Shankarabharana Tillana

[cyberrekha]

Namaste. I need lyrics and charana meaning of Tillana in raga Shankarabharana written by Madurai N Krishnan on Lord Shiva. Thank you.

[Lakshman]

I don't think he composed a tillAnA in shankarAbharaNa. Can you provide the beginning words of the caraNa? Thanks.

This has his signature---Krishnan sung by sudha raghunathan

Please anyone help me with charana lyrics and meaning. Rest I noted down hearing to music. Thanks

I'll do it later today

[rshankar]

The caraNa sAhityam is:

kailAsa vAsA ardhnArISvara
ulagangaLai kAkkum SankarAbharaNanE
gaNESa skandanai sRshTTitavanE
dAsan kRshNan vaNangiDum....

Resident (vAsA) of kailAsa, the Lord (ISvara) who is half female (ardhnArI)
Siva (SankarAbharaNanE) [1] who protects (kAkkum) the worlds (ulagangaLai)
The one who created (sRshTTitavanE) gaNESa and muruga (skandanai)
The one who is worshipped/bowed down to (vaNangiDum) by this slave/servant (dAsan), Krishnan (kRshNan) [2].

FOOTNOTES
[1] refering to Siva as SankarAbharaNan, IMO, is a stretch - to me SankarAbharaNan conjures up a snake - nevertheless, it refers to Siva here
[2] the composer's mudra
